A recent highlight of my office was a combined surgery to correct severe maxillofacial problems. The patient presented with upper and lower jaw disharmony, improper chin symmetry, and functional problems such as difficulty in chewing and speaking. After careful examination, combined surgery including maxilla advancement , mandibular setback and genioplasty was planned and performed for him.


Preliminary examination and detailed planning

In the initial examination, it was found that the upper jaw was significantly posterior than normal and the lower jaw was anterior than standard. To investigate more details, we used CBCT imaging , which provided a detailed 3D view of facial bones and structures. These images helped us plan the surgery more accurately.

Surgical procedures

The surgery was performed using advanced techniques and in three stages:

  1. Maxilla advancement : The upper jaw bone was carefully cut and moved forward to improve facial balance.
  2. Mandible Setback : The lower jaw was moved back to better coordinate with the upper jaw.
  3. Genioplasty : The chin was adjusted to the ideal position to complete the symmetry of the face.

Advancement genioplasty and rhinoplasty at the same time to solve breathing problems

Written by Dr. Shaghayegh Bozorgzadeh , maxillofacial surgeon

Genioplasty surgery (chin correction) is one of the advanced methods to change the position of the chin and create balance and symmetry in the face. This surgery, when performed along with rhinoplasty ( Rhinoplasty ), can have a significant effect on the patient’s appearance and respiratory function. In this article, I will examine a real case of simultaneous advancement genioplasty and rhinoplasty to solve respiratory problems.


The importance of combined genioplasty and rhinoplasty surgery

Genioplasty is one of the popular methods to correct the shape of the chin and strengthen the structure of the lower jaw. When the patient has breathing and appearance problems in his nose as well, combining this surgery with rhinoplasty can produce amazing results. By performing these two operations at the same time, not only the patient’s recovery time is reduced, but also more balance is created in the side view of the face. In this surgery, we were able to make significant changes in the patient’s life by using the most advanced techniques in the field of maxillofacial surgery Canada .


Patient introduction

Our patient, a young boy, came to us with receding chin, nasal deviation and breathing problems. The main goal of this surgery was to create symmetry and balance in the face, remove respiratory obstruction and improve the overall appearance of the patient.

Surgical method and treatment process

In this surgery, advancement genioplasty technique was used to bring the chin forward. With accurate bone cutting and appropriate relocation, the chin was placed in its new and natural position. Along with that, rhinoplasty was performed using the Preservation method to correct the hump and deviation of the nose, which helped to improve the patient’s breathing. This combined approach, in addition to improving respiratory function, made the side view of the patient’s face remarkably balanced and beautiful.


The final result

Two weeks after the surgery, the patient could see the results. His chin was placed in a suitable position and his nose got a natural and beautiful appearance. Also, his breathing problems were completely resolved.
