This discussion explores the relationship between orthognathic surgery and facial beautification, focusing on key aestheti parameters, patient expectations, and surgical strategies to optimize outcomes. Facial beauty is influenced by skeletal structure soft tissue balance, and proportionality. Modern approaches integrate cephalometric analysis, 3D planning, and digital simulations to accurately predict postoperative results. Key principles of facial aesthetics are examined, including the impact of maxillary and mandibular repositioning on symmetry, profile convexity, and lip support Additionally, the role of surgical techniques, such as segmental osteotomies and soft tissue management, is discussed in the context of enhancing facial attractiveness.

A thorough assessment of individual facial characteristics, ethnic variations, and personal preferences is essential to ensuring a natural and harmonious appearance. Psychological and emotional aspects also play a significant role in patient satisfaction emphasizing the need for comprehensive preoperative consultation. By integrating functional correction with aesthetic enhancement, orthognathic surgery has evolved into a powerful tool for improving both health and self-esteem. This discussion provides a comprehensive overview of the interplay between surgical techniques and facial aesthetics, equipping professionals with the knowledge to achieve predictable and refined resul
