Yes, oral surgery can improve facial aesthetics in certain cases. Some oral surgery procedures directly impact the appearance of the face by addressing structural irregularities or enhancing facial features.
Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, can significantly improve facial aesthetics by repositioning the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. This surgery can correct underbites, overbites, or crossbites, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious facial profile.
In addition to corrective jaw surgery, other procedures such as chin augmentation or reduction, genioplasty, and lip augmentation can be performed to enhance facial aesthetics. These procedures are typically performed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons who specialize in both functional and aesthetic aspects of the face.
It's important to consult with an experienced oral surgeon to discuss specific concerns and goals related to facial aesthetics. The surgeon can evaluate the individual's unique situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.
