A while back, in my supreme autism, I made this guide about orthognathic surgery . Thoughts on it?

Orthognathic Surgery is a corrective jaw surgery that straightens or realigns your jaw, and corrects related skeletal deformities that a patient may need. At minimum, orthognathic surgery cost includes surgeon fees, hospital fees, orthodontics charges, anesthesia fees and pain medications. However, final expenses may depend on a number of conditions unique to the person.

About Orthognathic Surgery

* This type of surgery, done by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) in a hospital setting which involves straightening and realigning the jaws using surgical plates or templates, screws and wires.

Why would you invest in this treatment? The main purpose is to correct a severe malocclusion (improper bite) that may be causing functional problems in daily behavior, such as speech, chewing food or even sleep apnea. You might also experience headaches, joint pain or periodontal (gum) discomfort. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), the following conditions may also prompt a need for orthognathic surgery:

  • Chronic Jaw Pain
  • Receding lower jaw and chin
  • Protruding Jaw
  • Mouth breathing
  • Trauma to mouth or face
  • Other jaw problems
How it Works

* Usually, you wear braces for nine to 18 months before the surgery. After your jaw recovers from the surgery, your orthodontist finishes aligning your teeth and eventually removes the braces. The entire orthodontic process, including surgery, may take one to three years.

Risks

* The surgery usually takes one to three hours, and requires general anesthesia, which tends to carry the risks of any major treatment. These risks include pain, swelling, bleeding, infection and adverse reaction to anesthesia. More involved processes can theoretically damage nearby bone or gums, and the anesthetic itself may cause numbness in similar areas. You typically stay in the hospital for one to two days, and have a six-week at-home recovery time

Costs and Insurance

* Without health insurance, according to CostHelper, orthognathic surgery cost in the United States can range from about $20,000 to well over $40,000. Beyond orthodontics, other factors that can sway the cost include severity of the jaw misalignment and what type of surgery is required. Your location, the hospital treating you and complications during care can all make a difference as well.

* In general, corrective jaw surgery is considered a medical procedure, not a cosmetic procedure, and is necessary to prevent more expensive medical and dental problems later in life. For this reason, some health insurance policies cover at least part of the cost of orthognathic surgery.

Examples of Orthognathic Surgery

* Correcting an open bite: Some of the bone in the upper tooth-bearing portion of the jaw is removed. The upper jaw is then secured in position with wires and screws.

* Correcting a protruding lower jaw: The bone in the rear portion of the jaw is separated from the front portion and modified so that the tooth bearing portion of the lower jaw can be moved back for proper alignment

* Correcting a receding lower jaw or weaker chin: The bone in the lower portion of the jaw is separated from its base and modified. The tooth bearing portion of the lower jaw and a portion of the chin are repositioned forward.

Specific Types of Orthognathic Surgery

* Lefort I Osteomy : The LeFort 1 osteotomy is a procedure used by maxillofacial surgeons to correct a wide range of dentofacial deformities. Because of its versatility and simplicity, it has gained popularity for a wide range of uses. The osteotomy can be performed quickly and efficiently if appropriate preoperative and intraoperative preparations are followed. The complication profile of this procedure is well established and should be understood prior to execution. Recent studies have focused on the reliability of maxillary movements as it relates to long-term stability and relapse. Overall, the LeFort 1 osteotomy is a common, predictable, and safe orthognathic intervention with reliable long-term results.

* BSSO: Orthognathic surgery involves the surgical correction of the components of the facial skeleton to restore the proper anatomical and functional relationship in patients with dentofacial skeletal abnormalities. An important component of orthognathic surgery is the bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO), which is the most commonly performed jaw surgery, either with or without upper jaw surgery. Indications for a bilateral sagittal split include horizontal mandibular excess, deficiency, and/or asymmetry. It is the most commonly performed procedure for mandibular advancement and can also be utilized for a mandibular setback of small to moderate magnitude. More than 7 to 8 mm of posterior repositioning of the mandible with a BSSO can be difficult, and consideration should be given to an inverted “L” osteotomy or intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO).1 Asymmetry cases require careful workup and planning, but can be easily addressed with a BSSO. Cases requiring large advancements, patients with poor soft tissue envelopes, and skeletally immature mandibles are better addressed with mandibular distraction osteogenesis.2 The bilateral sagittal split osteotomy is an indispensable surgical procedure for the correction of mandibular deformities. Undertaking the correction of these deformities requires a thorough knowledge of the indications, technique, and complications of the sagittal split osteotomy.

Finding a Good Surgeon

* You should find a licensed maxillofacial surgeon for this procedure. Ask dentist/orthodontist for a recommendation

* This website is also very helpful.

Before and After

* 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (mandibular advancement), 6, front view correcting assymetry, 7 (helpful information, simulation video and more), 8
Its pretty short i suppose but i didnt want to make it too intimidating for low iq people and normies.



BlackPill: IF THIS PROCEDURE GOES WRONG YOU ARE FUCKED. DO NOT SKIP OUT ON FINDING A TOP SURGEON. GET THE BEST YOU CAN. IF THIS MESSES UP NOT ONLY WILL YOU BE IN AGONIZING PAIN YOU WILL BE EVEN MORE SUBHUMAN
Honestly just look at the pictures kek

THanks bro. The pictures are really the most interesting. Theres a lot that can be done with jaw surgery especially bone sliding procedures. It can save subhumans

btw you can embed images by downloading them on your computer and directly uploading
 
I would add a blackpill disclaimer at the end about expectations, because some people think they will become slayers from a surgery and end up crying. The pictures are probably some of the best results. So adding pics/description on how they can go wrong is helpful as well.
Nice guide.

Yeah this surgery is usually not needed unless you have significant recession.

The general idea is still good though. Some of these results have had massive success. But usually involve bone grafting. I think, in the future, surgeons will start bone grafting chad tier jaws for aesthetic purposes.
