Abstract: | Orthognathic surgery has an undeniable functional effect, but the aesthetic result must not be disregarded, especially since many patients visit the surgeon precisely because of an aesthetic complaint and ignore the practical benefits. The aim of this paper is to discuss about an ideal treatment that combines this functional improvement with facial aesthetics and improves it after the operation. In order to predict which aesthetic deficits may occur, a facial analysis is essential. As precise as the virtual planning may be, there is still no exact predictability of soft tissue behavior. Some non-surgical procedures can help the surgeon achieve a result that better meets the patients’ expectations. Imaging exams, photographs, facial analyzes, and patient complaints are essential to assess the possibility of any postoperative refinement. The entire surgical planning is discussed with the patient; the possibility of refinement must be part of the treatment plan. The surgeon’s focus is on the functional correction of the dentofacial deformity, but the aesthetic outcome is essential for the patient. The results of this study suggest that refinement should be part of the treatment plan. |
