Long-face Surgery Guide

For long face surgery, you should choose the surgical method with an ideal facial ratio. If the lower jaw is only long and the face looks longer, it can be improved by a simpler operation, but if it is accompanied by a functional problem, the fundamental solution must be made through double-jaw surgery. In addition, surgery plans require cooperation of oral surgery and correctional departments.
