About Orthognathic at Kayakriti

Orthognathic surgery in Lucknow corrects skeletal problems of the upper jaw, lower jaw or both, when teeth alone cannot solve the bite. Patients seek it for chewing difficulty, sleep-disordered breathing, speech challenges and the visible effects of jaw discrepancies on the face. At Kayakriti, our planning combines facial photography, dental impressions, cephalometric analysis and CT-based 3D models so each move of bone is rehearsed virtually before theatre. This precision improves predictability and shortens operating time.

Facial alignment surgery is rarely performed in isolation. Most patients undergo a phase of pre-surgical orthodontics, often seven to twelve months long, to position the teeth correctly within each jaw. A second post-surgical phase fine-tunes the bite once the bones have healed. Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, coordinates with your orthodontist throughout, sharing imaging, surgical plans and post-operative timelines so the journey is one continuous plan rather than two parallel ones.

Bite correction surgery is highly individual. Some patients need only the upper jaw repositioned (LeFort osteotomy), some only the lower (BSSO), and others benefit from a combined two-jaw or bi-jaw approach. Genioplasty, where the chin is reshaped, is often added for facial balance. We never recommend a more extensive operation than the diagnosis supports, and second opinions are welcomed. The aim is a stable bite, an open airway and a face that looks naturally yours.

Maxillofacial surgery in Lucknow at Kayakriti is delivered in fully equipped theatres with experienced anaesthetic support. Hospital stay is typically two to three nights, followed by a recovery period during which we guide diet progression, oral hygiene and gentle jaw exercises. Privacy is paramount: photographs, scans and personal records remain confidential, and consultations are held in private rooms. Patients travelling from across Uttar Pradesh and beyond receive coordinated scheduling for surgery and follow-up reviews.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Who is a candidate for orthognathic surgery?
Patients with skeletal jaw discrepancies that cause bite, breathing or speech issues, or visible facial imbalance, are typical candidates. Skeletal growth should be complete, usually around 16 in girls and 18 in boys. Dr. Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh, reviews imaging, dental status and medical history to confirm whether surgery is the right step or whether orthodontics alone will suffice.
Is corrective jaw surgery safe?
Modern orthognathic surgery is well established and safe in trained hands. At Kayakriti, planning uses 3D imaging, surgery is performed in fully equipped theatres with senior anaesthetic cover, and complications such as bleeding or numbness are uncommon. Detailed risk discussion is part of every consultation, and we share both the benefits and the limitations of surgery before consent.
How long is the recovery?
Hospital stay is typically two to three nights. Most patients return to office work in three to four weeks, with a soft diet for six weeks while bones consolidate. Swelling improves visibly across the first month and continues to refine for several months. Post-surgical orthodontics often runs for a further six to nine months to settle the bite.
What does orthognathic surgery cost in Lucknow?
Cost depends on whether one or both jaws are operated on, hospital category, anaesthesia time and any added procedures such as genioplasty. We share a transparent written estimate that covers surgery, theatre, hospital stay and post-operative reviews. Insurance may cover medically indicated cases; we help with documentation where appropriate during the consultation.
Will my face look very different afterwards?
The aim is balance, not transformation into someone else. By aligning the jaws into their ideal position, we improve the bite, airway and facial proportions, often softening features patients have long disliked. Detailed simulations during planning let you see expected changes before surgery, so there are no surprises about how your face will look.
