Surgical Procedure: The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and can involve repositioning the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.
Post-Surgery Recovery: Initial recovery takes about 6 weeks, while complete healing may take several months. During this period, patients will follow specific dietary and care guidelines.
