# Analysis of soft and hard tissue changes following anterior segmental bi-jaw orthognathic surgery

## TL;DR

This study examines changes in hard and soft tissues after a specific type of jaw surgery in young adults.

## Contribution

The study provides new insights into tissue changes following anterior segmental bi-jaw orthognathic surgery.

## Key findings

- Significant aesthetic improvements were observed in facial structures.
- Both hard and soft tissues showed measurable changes post-surgery.
- Lateral cephalometric analysis revealed consistent postoperative adjustments.

## Abstract

Medical experts often carry out anterior segmental bi-jaw orthognathic surgery to address dentofacial abnormalities affecting both
the maxilla and mandible. Therefore, it is of interest to study tissue alterations from both quantitative and qualitative viewpoints
after the use of this specific approach. Prospective clinical evaluations on 20 surgical patients aged 18 to 30 years who had undergone
anterior segmental bi-jaw orthognathic surgery. A lateral cephalometric examination was carried out on the same individuals before to
treatment, with further imaging performed during the six-month postoperative follow-up. Orthognathic surgery, encompassing anterior
segmental bi-jaw treatment, delivers major improvements in facial aesthetics by inducing desirable adjustments in both hard and soft
tissues.
