Yunes wanted surgery to eliminate his gummy smile. When he learned he likely suffered from sleep apnea, it was clear to him that orthognathic surgery was the best option to correct both problems.
At our center, Prof. Hernández Alfaro performed orthofacial surgery that consisted of:
- Impaction and leveling of the maxilla to correct his gummy smile
- Mandibular advancement, centering, and counterclockwise rotation to expand his airway and harmonize the length of his face
- Advancement mentoplasty to achieve a well-balanced profile
- Septoplasty to correct some breathing problems
Now, both Yunes's breathing function and appearance have improved significantly, and he is very happy with his results.
