Will my face change much after orthognathic surgery?

Yes, there will be a visible change in your face, as the position of the jaw directly affects the overall symmetry and profile of the face. Correcting whether the lower jaw is protruding or recessed will result in a more balanced face, harmonious lips, and a more aesthetically pleasing smile. However, this change creates a natural appearance; it won’t create an exaggerated or artificial expression. Most patients don’t experience a “new face,” but rather a “more balanced and flattering facial feature.”
