What is facial asymmetry surgery?
The surgery for correcting the center line of the face by correcting the crooked jaw.

The surgery for correcting the center line of the face by correcting the crooked jaw. Severe facial asymmetry is accompanied by pain in the jaw joint and affects even the chewing function.
Furthermore, surgical correction is required in this case because these symptoms often cause a psychological complex in a patient’s own appearance from an aesthetic aspect.

Bone Scalpel Enhancing The Accuracy

The bone scalpel is an ultrasonic device which cuts the bones by responding only to the bone tissues.

It has less vibration within 0.5mm enabling a very precise surgery, protects nearby blood vessels and nerves by responding only to bones, causes, less tissue damages and bleeding and provides quick recovery.

Surgery Method
The proper position of the misaligned upper and lower jaws are set straight through the bimaxillary osteotomy and then, the center line of the face is adjusted by shaving off the chin line through facial contouring surgery.

1. Correct the center line of the face and dental occlusion.
2. Correction the asymmetry between the upper and lower jaw, and then, shave off the protruded bones.
3. Firmly fix them.

TIP
If there is facial asymmetry due to the different size and shape of the left and right lower jaws while there is no problems in the jaw bones, square jaw surgery can trim off the jaw line and form a balanced face.
