Such unparalleled precision and accuracy ensure that surrounding soft tissues are left untouched, contributing to the exemplary safety profile of the procedure and reducing the risk of postoperative complications and side effects. -
The realm of Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS), characterised by judiciously diminished approaches and the employment of sophisticated techniques alongside specialised instruments, yields markedly abbreviated recovery durations in comparison to conventional orthognathic surgery.
Through the adept application of these avant-garde methodologies, a solitary night of hospital sojourn suffices to ensure ample repose post-intervention, facilitated by intravenous administration of pain-alleviating and anti-inflammatory medications.
Immediate Recovery

In the immediate convalescence period, we emphasise four pivotal tenets: assiduous management of discomfort and inflammation through medication, coupled with compression and lymphatic drainage; adherence to a regimen of wholesome nutrition; meticulous hygiene practices; and the prompt initiation of recuperative physiotherapy.
To mitigate the reintegration stress into your professional endeavours, we advocate a hiatus of a couple or three weeks from work.
In 10 days after the surger, we orchestrate alternating consultations with your orthodontist, who shall recommence the fine-tuning of dental occlusion.
Gradually, as autonomy burgeons, the resumption of your quotidian life, including work and physical exercise, becomes a possibility contingent upon your individual progression. Typically, a convalescence period of 4-6 weeks is advised.
Long-Term Recovery
The convalescent trajectory endures beyond a year, demanding a composed demeanor as the structural metamorphosis evolves gradually. In the grand tapestry of this protracted journey, the surgical interlude represents a fleeting 15-day episode, etching itself into the annals as an anecdotal chapter of the newfound you sought.
Our postoperative division remains attuned and accessible through electronic channels. Optionally, comprehensive evaluations may be orchestrated at intervals of one month, three months, six months, and a year, facilitating a sagacious evaluation of the transformation, punctuated by substantial settling.

Surgery, conjoined with general anaesthesia, inherently ushers in potential complexities meticulously outlined in the exhaustive informed consents meticulously provided to our esteemed patients.
In Orthognathics, a culmination of years of expertise and a trajectory towards Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS), a commendable testament to our proficiency is the minimal incidence of complications, standing at an enviable rate of less than a mere 2%. Our revision rate stands at approximately 1%.
Postoperatively, the imperative task of optimising occlusion and dental positioning falls under the purview of your orthodontist, executed under the vigilant supervision of your surgical team. In the immediate postoperative phase, a meticulous evaluation through a new CAT scan ensures the precise execution of the planned interventions.
While conceivable, post-surgical minor adversities, including swelling, bleeding, and bruising, are scrupulously managed through prompt medical interventions. Transient numbness and other minor sequelae of the surgical endeavour gradually wane over time.
Predominant complications, albeit infrequent, include nerve paresthesia (transient: >6 weeks, 20-25%; definitive: >2 years without change, <1%), palpable steps in the mandibular profile (5%), intolerance to osteosynthesis materials (miniplates and screws, <5%), surgical wound superinfection (1%), and reintervention (<1%).
The customary window for complication detection spans the initial post-surgery week. For your tranquillity, we seamlessly extend comprehensive medical insurance coverage, adeptly addressing unforeseen medical exigencies in Barcelona/Marbella.
