Facts at a glance

Surgical Procedure
The incisions are made either in the mouth or under the chin. The surgeon sculpts the bone to a more pleasing size. For orthognathic surgery, the surgeon will make an incision inside the mouth and reposition the facial bones. The procedure, depending on the extent of the work, takes from less than an hour to approximately three hours.
Duration of Operation
Thirty minutes
Risks and Complications
The main risks are swelling, bruising, bleeding, infection, scarring and numbness, or change in sensation.
After Care
After surgery, the surgeon usually applies a dressing that will remain in place for two to three days. You will experience some tenderness. Post-operative discomfort can be controlled with prescribed medications. Chewing will probably be limited immediately after chin surgery, and a liquid and soft food diet may be required for a few days after surgery. Most patients feel a stretched, tight sensation after the surgery, but this usually subsides in a week.
Recovery
After approximately six weeks, most swelling will be gone, and you can enjoy the results of your procedure. Rigorous activity may be prohibited for the first few weeks after surgery. Normal activity can be resumed after approximately ten days.
Result
A classically-shaped face contoured to maximize prevalent norms of attractiveness and beauty.
Hospital Admission
One night admission to hospital.
Anesthetic
General Anesthesia (you are asleep)
Pre Operative Care

Tell your doctor about any allergies you have (to foods, drugs, environmental elements)

Avoid aspirin and aspirin-containing medicines for two weeks prior to surgery.

Post Operative Care
Your plastic surgeon will provide you with instructions about post-operative care. There will be dietary restrictions as well as limitations to your activities. However, you should be aware that your ability to move your mouth and lips may be diminished temporarily.
