An important aesthetic goal in orthognathic planning is to improve facial balance, harmony, volume, and symmetry. It is therefore logical that adjunctive aesthetic procedures become a part of the overall orthognathic treatment plan and that their possibilities are discussed with orthognathic candidates. Such procedures help to improve the final outcome of the orthognathic treatment and enhance patient satisfaction. Training and experience are of utmost importance when offering and performing aesthetic facial surgery. This article discusses various facial aesthetic procedures that can be combined with orthognathic surgery, to the patient's benefit, to help them become the most beautiful version of themselves.
