Keywords:
Plastic surgery, maxilla, mandible, postoperative complications, dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgeryAbstract
Plastic surgery of the upper (maxillary) and lower (mandibular) jaws is aimed at improving facial aesthetics and restoring essential functions such as chewing, speech, and breathing. Despite a high success rate (90–95%), postoperative complications may occur, including aesthetic, functional, surgical-technical, infectious, neurological, vascular, and psychological issues. This thesis summarizes the main complications and their impact on patient quality of life and dental rehabilitation.
