How does Maxillofacial Surgery Work?

Work

Maxillofacial surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is completely comfortable throughout the procedure. Depending on the condition being treated, the surgeon may need to make incisions inside the mouth or along the skin to access the affected area. The surgical process may involve realigning bones, removing damaged tissue, or reconstructing the jaw to restore proper function. Post-surgery, patients are provided with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications.
