Is Orthognathic Surgery a Major Operation?

Orthognathic surgery is a comprehensive operation that corrects the jaw and facial bones, and yes, it is technically a major operation. However, thanks to the advanced technology and advanced surgical techniques used today, the risks of this operation have been considerably reduced.

Patients undergo a detailed tomography before the operation. Thus, surgeons perform 3D planning in a virtual environment, identify problems that may be encountered during surgery in advance and determine the most appropriate intervention method. In this way, despite being a major operation, risks are minimised.

In short, orthognathic surgery is an important surgical application that improves facial functions and aesthetics of patients, which has become safer with the support of advanced planning and technology.
