Birbe Clinic, specialists in orthognathic surgery for facial asymmetry in Barcelona
At our clinic, we have been carrying out treatments such as orthognathic surgery for facial asymmetry in Barcelona for many years, an intervention that corrects problems or malformations, such as an asymmetrical face, which some people suffer from for different reasons. If this is your case, and you want to know more about facial asymmetry and its treatments, read on!
Facial asymmetry is an alteration that a person can suffer from when their 2 sides of the face, right and left, look disharmonious. Although nobody is 100% symmetrical, there are cases in which this asymmetry is clear, with one of the two sides of the face being unbalanced. This does not mean that all patients who are facially asymmetrical are real candidates for our hands. Therefore, a prior study will be necessary to assess the case.
Normally, asymmetry manifests itself in the lower third of the face, that is to say, in the jaw and chin. This is not in vain, as these are the bones that provide skeletal support and, moreover, have a long history of development and growth. But what causes it? Well, this problem is generally linked to others, such as dental malocclusion.
Facial asymmetry: causes of not having a symmetrical face
Like some diseases related to malocclusion, the causes of malocclusion tend to be separated into three main groups: genetic, environmental and developmental. The first of these, genetics, is that which, due to family traits or congenital anomalies, causes such asymmetry.
On the other hand, due to facial trauma, fractures, diseases such as arthritis or facial pathologies or tumors, these difficulties can become a facial alteration. And, finally, causes linked to the development of the person, such as digital suction, the habit of chewing on one side only or dental extractions, can cause this issue.
Birbe Clinic: orthognathic treatment for facial asymmetry
At Birbe Clinic, we treat both people with severe asymmetry and milder cases. Clearly, in both cases the treatment will be different. For this reason, our specialists will carry out a rigorous and individualized diagnosis to determine which process should be carried out. In milder cases, with a minor surgical intervention, the facial alteration can be solved.
But what happens in more serious cases? Well, our professionals will have to carry out a more complex surgical intervention, bimax orthognathic surgery. With this treatment, aimed at the mandible and upper jaw, the mid-facial line will be harmonized with the dental line, to level the maxilla and mandible (canting correction) and adapt the occlusal plane. Asymmetries of the chin will also be corrected in this procedure using a mentoplasty.
At Birbe Clinic, technology and innovative treatments make us stand out from the competition. In this type of operation, we carry out a virtual planning of the intervention to know precisely the ideal position of the jaws in each face. This study is reproduced using CAD CAM surgical splints that have been printed before the surgery following the indications of the virtual planning.

What are the consequences of not having facial symmetry?
Patients with this problem often suffer from dental malocclusion, midline deviation and canting of the occlusal plane (asymmetrical growth of the craniofacial structures). There is an accelerated wear of the teeth, TMJ and tendency to gum recession. This causes long term tooth extractions.Also name the psychological concerns associated with self-esteem that may arise as a result of facial asymmetry.
What is facial asymmetry; surgery and its other treatments?
Orthognathic surgery is performed when a patient suffers from facial asymmetry. In this way, at Birbe Clinic we can intervene on the mandibular and maxillary bone (bimaxillary surgery) or only on one of the two skeletal structures (monomaxillary surgery). Through this intervention, we aim to correct the facial midline with the dental midline, level the maxilla and mandible and adapt the occlusal plane. During this process, we will also study the asymmetries of the gonial angles, cheek bones, chin and correct them, if necessary, with a genioplasty.
How is surgical camouflage and orthognathic surgery for facial asymmetry performed in Barcelona?
Patients may suffer from a milder or more severe asymmetry. Through a rigorous diagnosis, the professional will decide which treatment is the most appropriate for each case. In the case of facial asymmetries with good dental occlusion, surgical camouflage can be carried out, for example, through a genioplasty, or placement of facial implants or lipofilling. On the other hand, patients who suffer not only from an aesthetic problem, but also from the consequences of malocclusion, should undergo orthognathic surgery to correct the size and position of the facial bones and the inclination of the teeth.
