Abstract

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.
