What Is Maxillofacial Surgery?

Maxillofacial surgery covers a wide range of conditions involving the jaw, facial bones, oral structures, and surrounding tissue.

Many patients seek it because something is not working right - chewing is difficult, the jaw clicks painfully, the bite feels uneven, or an injury has left the face structurally changed. These are functional problems that need a surgical solution.

Dr. Shilpi Bhadani at SB Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery Hospital approaches every case by first understanding what the patient is actually dealing with. After carefully assessing, a treatment plan is made.

What Maxillofacial Surgery May Help With

Jaw misalignment causing difficulty in biting or chewing
Facial asymmetry caused by uneven development of facial bones
Fractures and structural damage from accidents or facial trauma
Obstructive sleep apnea connected to jaw position and airway size
Cysts, tumours, or bone infections affecting the jaw

Who Is a Good Candidate for Maxillofacial Surgery?

The following are suitable candidates:

Individuals with an overbite, underbite, or open bite that makes eating or speaking harder than it should be
Individuals who see noticeable difference between the two sides of your face due to unequal bone growth
Individuals having jaw pain or joint clicking that has persisted despite trying other treatments
A change in facial structure caused by an injury that was never properly corrected

Types of Maxillofacial Surgical Procedures

Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Realignment): This fixes the position of the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both together. It is done when the bite cannot be corrected through orthodontic treatment alone.
Facial Trauma and Fracture Repair: Jaw fractures, cheekbone injuries, and damage around the eye all need precise surgical repair.
TMJ Surgery: When the jaw joint causes persistent pain, locking, or severely restricted movement and nothing else has worked, surgery becomes the appropriate next step.
Reconstructive Jaw Surgery: After a tumour has been removed or significant bone has been lost, the jaw needs to be rebuilt.
Corrective Surgery for Sleep Apnea: Some patients have a blocked airway because of how the jaw sits. Repositioning it surgically can open up the airway.

What limits exist based on your anatomy and the nature of your condition
What the day-by-day recovery looks like
How follow-up care will be handled once the surgery is done
