Before surgery, our orthodontist will use a CAT scan and 3D virtual simulation surgery to create cutting-edge, patient-specific splints and models. This helps the surgeon determine how to align the teeth in a certain way in order to get the appropriate configuration, within 1 millimeter of accuracy. The patient may also have to wear braces for a year or more to help properly align the teeth in the upper and lower jaw.
During surgery, the doctor will break the bone and move it into the appropriate position, which may require moving the upper jaw, the lower jaw or both.
In addition to jaw surgery (or in place of it), we can perform a genioplasty, where we reshape, advance or shorten the chin to complete your facial profile.
Most patients spend one to two nights in the hospital after jaw surgery. (Patients undergoing just a genioplasty often return home the day of their operation.) You may experience swelling and will be given pain medications to take home.
Elastic rubber bands are usually placed on your braces to guide you into your new bite. Be sure to keep your teeth and mouth clean. You may need to be on a soft or pureed food diet for four to six weeks after the operation.
Decongestants: Following orthognathic surgery, especially upper jaw surgery, there can be considerable stuffiness of the nose and sinuses. A decongestant such as Otrivine Nasal Drops, etc. can be indicated for 7-10 days following surgery if necessary.
I underwent a cheek, forehead, and central lip lift surgery at the doctor’s office on March 8, 1403. I can say that after two weeks, it was a masterpiece. The surgery with Dr. Fadaei was the greatest favor I ever did for myself. Strong support team. At all times of the day and night. Overall, his ethics and behavior with the patient were the best and I am a thousand times satisfied.
I introduced a patient from the UK to him. He is very skilled and high experience in facial plastic surgery and my patient is very satisfied about the results.
