Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery)

What is it?

Orthognathic surgery, commonly known as jaw surgery or mandible surgery, addresses jawbone irregularities to enhance function, alignment, and facial aesthetics.

About Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery)

This surgical procedure is often necessary to correct issues related to jaw misalignment, such as underbites, overbites, and asymmetry, that may impact chewing, speaking, and breathing. At RGIMS Clinic, our approach to orthognathic surgery focuses on improving not only functional aspects but also the visual harmony of the face. Correcting jaw misalignment can result in a balanced and proportional facial profile, which many patients find transformative for both health and appearance. As the best maxillofacial surgeon in Guwahati, Dr. Rahul Gogoi combines advanced surgical techniques to help patients achieve optimal jaw structure and symmetry.

Quick answers to questions you may have

What is the typical recovery time for facial plastic surgery procedures?

Recovery times vary depending on the procedure. Minor treatments, such as eyelid surgery, may allow patients to resume daily activities within a week, while more comprehensive surgeries, like facelifts, may require a few weeks for full recovery. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing process tailored to your procedure.

Will facial plastic surgery results look natural?

Yes, our goal at RGIMS is to enhance your natural features with subtle, refined results. Our surgeons take an individualized approach, focusing on symmetry and balance, to create outcomes that are both harmonious and true to your natural beauty. We work closely with each patient to ensure their aesthetic goals are met authentically.

Are facial cosmetic surgeries safe?

Safety is our utmost priority. Our experienced surgical team utilizes advanced, state-of-the-art techniques and maintains the highest standards of hygiene and safety. We conduct thorough pre-operative assessments and monitor patients closely during and after procedures to ensure the safest, most comfortable experience possible.

How long do the results from facial plastic surgery last?

The longevity of results varies by procedure. Surgical results, like rhinoplasty and facelifts, are generally long-lasting, often lasting for years. While procedures do not halt aging, following recommended care and lifestyle habits can help maintain results over time. We’ll discuss expected outcomes for your specific treatment during your consultation.

What’s the difference between a mini-facelift and a traditional facelift?

A mini-facelift is a less invasive option focused on lifting and tightening the lower face, ideal for patients with mild sagging. A traditional facelift targets more extensive facial aging, addressing both the mid and lower face and offering more comprehensive rejuvenation. We help patients determine which procedure aligns with their goals during the consultation process.

Who is an ideal candidate for facial plastic and cosmetic surgery?

Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with realistic expectations for their outcomes. Factors such as age, skin elasticity, bone structure, and overall health all play a role in determining suitability. We conduct detailed consultations to help each patient understand which procedures align best with their goals and expectations.
