Two-jaw surgery
Two-jaw revision surgery
VIEW's two-jaw revision is for patients who have had jaw surgery before but whose appearance or bite function was not fully corrected. The team analyses the case in detail before planning a correction using the VIEW Double Jaw Revision System, with surgery taking about 2 hours under general anaesthesia.
Who it suits
- A previous jaw surgery that did not fully resolve appearance or bite issues
- Bite or facial balance still uneven after a first surgery
- Want correction from a surgeon experienced specifically in facial bone structure and revision cases
Technique highlights
- An individualised plan follows detailed consultation and diagnosis of both appearance and function issues
- Precise bone and soft-tissue cutting techniques minimise nerve damage and bleeding
- The VIEW Double Jaw Revision System guides safe incision and bone fixation
- Backed by a patented contouring technique and bone-specific ultrasonic cutting tools
Surgical steps
- Detailed consultation and diagnosis identify remaining appearance and function issues from the previous surgery
- An individualised surgical plan is created based on the detected facial bone structure
- Bone is cut and fixed safely to resolve issues remaining from the original surgery
Recovery & aftercare
- About 2 days of initial recovery
- A specialist team schedules swelling treatments per individual recovery, such as anti-swelling injections and laser therapy
- Sutures removed and progress checked over the first 2 weeks
- Follow-up CT and X-ray checks within 1-6 months
Risks & things to consider
- Separating soft tissue from bone reshaped by a prior surgery is more difficult than in first-time cases
- Requires a surgeon with in-depth understanding of facial bone structure and function
- Circulation issues, infection or inflammation are possible, and results vary by individual
Frequently asked questions
Why does jaw revision surgery need a more detailed plan than usual?
Because bone and tissue from the earlier surgery may have healed in an irregular shape, separating them is harder than usual; VIEW uses its Double Jaw Revision System to analyse and individually plan each case before the actual operation.
Does jaw revision take longer to recover from than a first-time surgery?
Initial recovery is generally similar to a first-time jaw surgery, around 2 days, though soft tissue may take slightly longer to settle given the prior tissue condition, so ongoing follow-up with the surgeon is important.
Where should I go for revision of a jaw surgery I'm unhappy with?
Choose a team with direct experience specifically in jaw revision cases, since it requires deep understanding of both the structure and function of facial bone; VIEW uses individualised diagnosis and planning designed specifically for revision cases.
