Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about maxillofacial surgery
Is maxillofacial surgery painful?
All procedures are performed under appropriate anesthesia (local, sedation, or general), so you won't feel pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort varies depending on the procedure but is well-managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe recovery as more comfortable than expected. We provide detailed pain management plans and support throughout your recovery.
How long is recovery after jaw surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. Wisdom tooth extraction typically requires 3-7 days off work. Orthognathic (jaw) surgery requires 2-3 weeks for initial recovery, with gradual return to normal activities over 6-8 weeks. Complete bone healing takes 3-6 months. Dr. Atif provides personalized recovery timelines and detailed aftercare instructions to optimize healing.
Will I need to stay in the hospital?
Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you go home the same day. However, more extensive surgeries like orthognathic surgery or major trauma reconstruction may require a 1-2 night hospital stay for observation and optimal post-op care. Dr. Atif will discuss what to expect based on your specific procedure.
Will my insurance cover maxillofacial surgery?
Many maxillofacial procedures are medically necessary and covered by insurance, including wisdom tooth extraction, jaw surgery for functional problems, TMJ treatment, trauma repair, and tumor removal. Coverage varies by insurance plan and medical necessity. Our team works with your insurance provider to maximize coverage and will provide cost estimates before treatment.
What are the risks of maxillofacial surgery?
Like all surgery, maxillofacial procedures carry some risks including infection, bleeding, nerve injury, and anesthesia complications. However, these risks are minimal when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Atif. We take extensive precautions, use proven techniques, and provide comprehensive pre-operative evaluation to minimize risks and ensure the safest possible outcomes.
How do I prepare for maxillofacial surgery?
Preparation depends on the procedure. Generally, you'll need to fast before surgery, arrange transportation home, stop certain medications, and avoid smoking. For jaw surgery, you may work with an orthodontist beforehand. Dr. Atif provides detailed pre-operative instructions including diet modifications, medication guidelines, and what to expect on surgery day. Following these instructions carefully ensures optimal outcomes.
