What Is Maxillofacial Surgery?

Maxillofacial surgery in Bihar deals with conditions that affect the jaw bones, facial skeleton, oral structures, and surrounding soft tissue. Most patients need it because something is not working right i.e. the bite is off, the jaw causes pain, or the face looks noticeably uneven because of how the bones developed.

Dr. Shilpi Bhadani, a leading plastic surgeon at SB Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery Hospital approaches each case by first understanding what is actually bothering the patient. A proper clinical assessment and imaging review come before any surgical decision is made.

Conditions Commonly Treated With Maxillofacial Surgery

Mismatched jaw that makes eating, biting, or even speaking uncomfortable
Asymmetrical face caused due to uneven growth of jaw bones
Bone injuries that occur due to accidents and have not healed properly
Jaw joint (TMJ) disorders resulting in pain, clicking sounds, or limited movement
Obstructive sleep apnea associated with jaw issues and narrow airway

Who Should Consider Maxillofacial Surgery?

Maxillofacial surgery in Bihar is appropriate for the following individuals:

Have an overbite, underbite or open bite that cannot be corrected by braces.
One side of the face is noticeably bigger than the other.
Suffer from jaw locking that has not improved with medication or physiotherapy.
Have facial injury that leaves behind structural damage.

Dr. Shilpi Bhadani first takes into account the patient’s medical history and then decides whether surgery is the proper course of action.

Types of Maxillofacial Surgeries Performed

Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Repositioning)
If the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both are misaligned, an orthognathic surgery is performed. This is often combined with orthodontic treatment as well.
Facial Fracture Repair
Any fractures of the jaw bones, or cheekbones, due to accidents or any trauma needs careful surgical correction to reconstruct the function and shape.
TMJ Surgery
TMJ disorders are corrected by surgical intervention if other methods have failed to provide relief from severe pain or joint locking.
Jaw Reconstruction
In cases of tumour or bone loss, Dr. Shilpi Bhadani plans surgical reconstruction to restore jaw form and function.
Sleep Apnea Surgery
Patients who suffer from sleep apnea due to a narrow or retruded jaw are recommended to undergo surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can maxillofacial surgery be done if I have already had orthodontic treatment before?

Yes, many patients come to Dr. Shilpi Bhadani after completing braces. Orthodontic treatment and maxillofacial surgery often work together, and prior braces do not disqualify you.

How will the surgeon decide whether I require correction of one jaw bone or both?

It can be determined based on cephalometric X-rays and 3D scans depending upon where the misalignment originates and what is required to get a correct bite.

Are cuts made on the face during maxillofacial surgery?

No. The incisions are placed within the mouth.

What should I do if I experience any complications when I return to Bihar?

The expert surgeons at SB Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery Hospital are available by phone or virtual consultation for patients who have returned home.

Can maxillofacial surgery at SB Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery Hospital be covered under health insurance?

This depends on the policy you have. Our team can assist you with the documentation.

How soon after maxillofacial surgery can I safely fly or travel back to Bihar?

Most patients can travel by air within 5 to 7 days after surgery, once the surgical team confirms stable recovery. This varies case by case.

Will my face look different after jaw surgery?

Jaw repositioning naturally changes how the lower face looks. Dr. Shilpi Bhadani discusses expected changes in appearance during your consultation so there are no surprises.

Is maxillofacial surgery at SB Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery Hospital done under local or general anaesthesia?

Maxillofacial surgery in Bihar is performed under general anaesthesia. The hospital has a dedicated and experienced anaesthesia team for this.

How long before maxillofacial surgery results are fully visible?

Swelling takes 3 to 6 months to fully resolve. The final bone position and facial appearance become clear once healing is complete.

Can a jaw problem causing snoring actually be fixed through maxillofacial surgery?

Yes. When snoring or sleep apnea is linked to jaw position and a restricted airway, surgical repositioning is an effective solution.
