[Cosmetic treatment during orthognathic surgery]

Area of Science:

• Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
• Plastic Surgery
• Orthodontics

Background:

• Combined orthodontic-surgical treatment aims to correct jaw deformities (dysgnathia) and malocclusion, improving oral function.
• Facial aesthetic enhancements are increasingly integrated with orthognathic surgery for improved facial harmony and rejuvenation.
• Aesthetic procedures can address contour deficiencies, soft tissue changes, and aging signs.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the role of adjunctive aesthetic procedures in combined orthodontic-surgical treatment.
• To evaluate how aesthetic enhancements contribute to overall facial harmony and patient satisfaction.
• To outline various aesthetic techniques that can be combined with osteotomies.

Main Methods:

• Intra-oral zygoma osteotomy for contour improvement.
• Alloplastic implants for projection enhancement.
• Lipofilling for soft tissue contour modification.
• Liposuction or lipectomy for submental fat reduction.
• Otoplasty, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and lip lift for rejuvenation.

Main Results:

• Aesthetic procedures can be performed concurrently with osteotomies.
• These combined approaches lead to significant improvements in facial aesthetics and harmony.
• Patient satisfaction is notably enhanced by the comprehensive treatment approach.

Conclusions:

• Integrating aesthetic procedures into orthodontic-surgical treatment significantly improves functional and aesthetic outcomes.
• Facial rejuvenation techniques, when combined with orthognathic surgery, offer comprehensive patient care.
• The synergistic effect of functional and aesthetic surgery leads to high levels of patient satisfaction.
