Before and After: Maxillary & Mandibular Osteotomy & Genioplasty

Welcome to Utah Oral Surgery Center, where excellence meets innovation in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. If you’re considering transformative procedures to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your jaw and chin, you’ve come to the right place. Our skilled surgeons specialize in a range of advanced techniques, including upper jaw (maxillary osteotomy), lower jaw (mandibular osteotomy), and chin surgery (genioplasty), all designed to address various concerns and provide optimal results for our patients.

Let’s delve into each procedure to understand how they can benefit you:

Upper Jaw Surgery (Maxillary Osteotomy):

Maxillary osteotomy, commonly referred to as upper jaw surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting abnormalities or misalignments in the upper jaw. This procedure is often recommended for patients with conditions such as a protruding upper jaw, a deficient upper jaw, or a significant overbite (prognathism).

During the procedure, our experienced surgeons carefully make incisions inside the mouth to access the upper jaw bone. They then strategically reposition the bone to achieve proper alignment and harmony with the rest of the facial structures. In some cases, additional techniques such as bone grafting may be employed to enhance stability and support.

By undergoing maxillary osteotomy, patients can experience not only improved facial aesthetics but also enhanced chewing function, speech clarity, and overall oral health.

Lower Jaw Surgery (Mandibular Osteotomy):

Mandibular osteotomy, also known as lower jaw surgery, is a transformative procedure aimed at addressing issues related to the lower jaw, including a receded lower jaw (retrognathia), an excessively protruding lower jaw (prognathism), or asymmetry.

During mandibular osteotomy, our skilled surgeons carefully access the lower jaw bone through discreet incisions inside the mouth. They then precisely reposition the jaw bone to achieve optimal facial balance and harmony. In some cases, supplementary procedures such as orthodontic treatment may be recommended to optimize results and ensure long-term stability.

By undergoing mandibular osteotomy, patients can not only enhance their facial aesthetics but also experience improvements in bite alignment, chewing function, and overall facial symmetry.

Chin Surgery (Genioplasty):

Genioplasty, also known as chin surgery, is a specialized procedure designed to correct aesthetic concerns related to the chin, such as a small or recessed chin (microgenia). This procedure is often recommended for patients who desire a more balanced and harmonious facial profile.

During genioplasty, our expert surgeons carefully access the chin bone through discreet incisions inside the mouth or beneath the chin. They then sculpt and reposition the chin bone to achieve the desired shape and projection. Utilizing advanced techniques, such as the use of biocompatible plates and screws, ensures stable and long-lasting results.

Genioplasty can not only enhance facial aesthetics but also improve facial symmetry and overall self-confidence. Additionally, for patients with concurrent jaw abnormalities, genioplasty can be performed in conjunction with upper and lower jaw surgeries to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
