I had an exceptional experience with Turkey-Health for my eye surgery in Turkey. They offer very competitive prices, and I would especially like to thank Nassim. His professionalism and availability were remarkable, and he brilliantly corrected the mistakes of his predecessor. I highly recommend their services!

I would like to thank all the staff at this hospital for their excellent welcome and impeccable care. A special thank you to Emily, who demonstrated great efficiency, genuine understanding, and immense availability. She listened attentively and supported us from beginning to end; she is a truly lovely woman. Don't hesitate to trust them; you will be in good hands!

Go there with your eyes closed, stop listening to what they tell you in France. The service is so impeccable, not a single misstep, from the airport pick-up upon arrival in Turkey to the return to the airport after the operation. The medical staff is very kind, the surgeon is extremely competent, a brand new 4-star hotel with a Turkish breakfast. A 24-hour translator, a rate two and a half times cheaper than in France... I'll stop there, no need to go any further.

Fatou Niare

10/11/2025

I went there for the medical checkup and I would say everyone there was very nice, but even with a translator there is still a bit of an English barrier. I feel like I had a lot of questions that I wanted to ask the doctor but a little overwhelmed to ask with everything. ANOTHER THING IS IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS IN ENGLISH, it has been 2 weeks and counting.

Orthognathic surgery : What is it ?

Jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, is a procedure to correct jaw misalignments, whether skeletal or dental in origin.

Orthognathic surgery is indicated for:

Misaligned jaws: Whether your upper jaw is too far back or too far forward, surgery can reposition it to restore a harmonious profile.
Missing teeth: The inability to fully close the mouth can be corrected by precise realignment of the jaws.
Protruding lower jaw: A forward chin can be moved back to improve facial balance and make chewing easier.

Because each case is unique, the type of procedure varies according to the patient's specific needs. One or both jaws may be moved forward, backward, upward, or downward.

Depending on the individual case, the surgeon may adjust the size, position, and angle of the jaws to restore facial harmony and correct dental occlusion. These changes not only improve the aesthetics of the smile and face, but also correct functional problems such as difficulty chewing, breathing, or pronouncing certain sounds.

Jaw surgery techniques

Jaw surgery is based on several different techniques:

Mandibular osteotomy: This procedure changes the size and position of the lower jaw to correct a sunken chin, protruding jaw, or other misalignment.
Maxillary osteotomy: By acting on the upper jaw, this technique can correct bite problems, reduce a protruding upper jaw, or change the shape of the face.
Genioplasty (chin surgery): This procedure is used to reshape the chin. The chin can be strengthened, reduced, or reshaped to harmonize the overall facial profile.

Preoperative phase for jaw surgery

Orthognathic surgery is a personalized procedure that requires careful preparation. Before surgery, you will benefit from a thorough consultation with your surgeon. Together, you'll discuss your expectations, concerns, and the different surgical options available for your situation.

Using advanced diagnostic tools (x-rays, dental impressions, 3D simulations),your surgeon will work with your orthodontist to develop a customized treatment plan. This multidisciplinary approach guarantees optimal results, both functionally and aesthetically.

During this consultation, you'll have the opportunity to visualize the expected results through simulations and get answers to all your questions. Our goal is to assist you throughout the process so that you feel confident and informed.

Orthognathic surgery process in Turkey

On the big day, you'll be met at one of our partner hospitals in Turkey. After general anesthesia, you won't feel a thing during the surgery.

In most cases, the incisions are made inside the mouth to limit visible scarring. Thin titanium plates or screws may be used to hold the new bone in place during the healing period. These biocompatible medical devices ensure good bone consolidation.

Because each case is unique, your surgeon can tailor the procedure to your specific needs. Depending on your situation, he or she may add additional bone grafts or adjustments to achieve optimal results.

To harmonize your profile and optimize the final result, your surgeon may also perform chin surgery at the same time as your jaw surgery.

Orthognathic surgery process in Turkey 2026

Recovery from jaw surgery

Recovering from orthognathic surgery requires patience and discipline. By following the advice of your medical team, you will quickly regain your comfort and quality of life.

The first few weeks

The first few weeks after jaw surgery are characterized by :

Swelling and pain: Facial swelling and moderate pain are common. The use of a cooling mask (or ice packs) will help reduce swelling.
Numbness: A sensation of numbness around the lower lip and chin is common. This will gradually disappear.
Nutrition: For the first few weeks, your diet will be liquid, then gradually more substantial. Food supplements will be prescribed to provide you with the necessary nutrients.
Elastic bands and physiotherapy: Wearing an orthotic brace and undergoing physical therapy are essential for a good recovery.

Bone consolidation

For approximately six weeks, the patient must avoid impact and follow the prescribed treatment regimen closely.

Once bone consolidation is complete, orthodontic finishing touches are required to refine the result.

Convalescence period

Convalescence requires that you adjust your lifestyle. It's important to rest and follow the advice of your surgeon and physical therapist.

If necessary, psychological support may be offered.

Regular check-ups will allow you to monitor the progress of your recovery.

Results of orthognathic surgery

Orthognathic surgery offers transformative results, both aesthetically and functionally.
Immediately after surgery, the alignment of the teeth is significantly improved, making chewing and speaking easier.

Over the first few weeks, the facial edema gradually disappears and the contours of the new face are revealed.

By the 6th month, the aesthetic result is optimal, with a harmonious profile and a radiant smile. In the long term, the stability of the dental occlusion and the full recovery of oral function ensure a significantly improved quality of life.

Although the post-operative period requires patience and care, the lasting benefits of this surgery make it a valuable investment in health and well-being.
