JAWLINE · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Double-Jaw Surgery (Both Jaws Forward): before & after and recovery stages
Compare upper and lower jaws moving forward together through early fullness and a later profile view.
SUMMARY
What this example shows
A fixed fictional retruded upper-and-lower-jaw profile supplies the reference. Upper and lower lip regions and the chin move forward together, with early swelling settling separately. Compare this direction with upper-forward/lower-back surgery. This outer-face example does not reconstruct bone cuts, rotations, dental bite or breathing outcomes.
STAGE BY STAGE
Double-Jaw Surgery (Both Jaws Forward) recovery stages
Before treatment
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
First few days: Fullness obscures the profile
Cheek and lip swelling overlap the illustrated jaw movement.
Initial swelling is often prominent over the first few days.
Around 2 weeks: Less color, residual fullness
Bruising is lighter, while cheek and lip fullness still hides part of the contour.
Visible color and swelling can settle at different rates.
Around 6 weeks: Profile easier to compare
Less temporary fullness reveals the retained forward or backward movement.
A clearer outline does not establish normal sensation or bone healing.
Around 6 months: Later surface comparison
The same illustrated movement remains with little early swelling.
This is a comparison point, not a personal recovery deadline.
TIMELINE
Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model
The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
The changed profile is partly hidden by temporary swelling.
Broad cheek and lip fullness overlaps the jaw movement example.
Early swelling still obscures the underlying profile.
Color and fullness start easing at different rates.
Less discoloration reveals a profile that still has residual fullness.
Visible swelling is reduced, while subtle fullness remains.
The example contour is easier to compare; this does not show bone healing.
A small amount of illustrative fullness remains.
This display endpoint does not establish bite, sensation or bone union.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
Both movements share one fictional retruded profile. This differs from upper-forward/lower-back surgery and does not predict rotations, dental alignment or breathing.
Longer term
The MMA source describes overall final condition over nine to twelve months; the six-month picture is an intermediate comparison. Jaw position, bite and sensation need separate follow-up, and this outer surface cannot assess bone union or breathing.
EVIDENCE NOTES
Sources and limitations
- Cambridge University Hospitals NHS: Upper-jaw osteotomy
Upper-jaw repositioning, facial swelling strongest around 48 hours, bruising over the first weeks and possible residual swelling for months. These phases do not calibrate the display offsets or dates.
- Cambridge University Hospitals NHS: Lower-jaw osteotomy
Lower-jaw repositioning with temporary facial fullness and bruising, limited mouth opening and a separate course for altered sensation. It does not predict a movement distance, bite or breathing outcome.
- Mayo Clinic: Maxillomandibular advancement (2018)
Describes repositioning both jaws and variable facial appearance after MMA, with overall final condition over nine to twelve months. Its sleep-apnea outcomes do not calibrate this outer-face example or predict breathing.
