Facial Asymmetry Surgery
Facial asymmetry surgery is a specialized procedure designed to correct imbalances in the face caused by uneven jaw development, bone structure irregularities, or soft tissue differences. This surgery enhances both function and aesthetics, creating a more harmonious, symmetrical, and proportionate facial appearance.
Causes of Facial Asymmetry
Facial asymmetry can be caused by:
✔ Genetic factors – Natural bone growth variations
✔ Jaw misalignment (Skeletal asymmetry) – Unequal development of the upper or lower jaw
✔ Trauma or injury – Fractures or damage affecting facial structure
✔ Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders – Uneven jaw movement or joint issues
✔ Paralysis or muscle weakness – Conditions like Bell’s palsy
Types of Facial Asymmetry Surgery
🔹 Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Realignment) – Adjusts upper or lower jaw position to correct asymmetry
🔹 Genioplasty (Chin Surgery) – Reshapes or repositions the chin for better balance
🔹 Facial Implants or Fat Grafting – Enhances volume in specific areas for symmetry
🔹 Botox & Fillers (Non-Surgical Option) – Temporarily corrects mild asymmetry by relaxing muscles or adding volume
Procedure & Recovery
✅ Evaluation & Digital Planning – 3D scans and simulations help in precise surgical planning
✅ Surgical Approach – Incisions are usually made inside the mouth to avoid visible scars
✅ Recovery Time – Swelling and bruising last a few weeks; final results take months to fully settle
✅ Long-Term Benefits – Improved facial harmony, better bite function, and enhanced self-confidence
Facial asymmetry surgery provides transformative results, giving patients a more balanced, naturally symmetrical appearance while also improving functionality in cases involving jaw misalignment.
