Case Overview

This case showcases the dual benefit of orthognathic double jaw surgery: airway improvement alongside aesthetic facial enhancement. The patient presented with obstructive airway caused by retrognathic jaw positioning. By surgically advancing both jaws, the airway volume was significantly increased — resolving breathing difficulties and improving sleep quality — while simultaneously creating better facial proportions and profile aesthetics.

Key Outcomes

01Airway volume significantly increased post-surgery
02Breathing and sleep quality improved
03Facial profile aesthetics enhanced simultaneously
04Single procedure addresses both function and form
