Orthognathic Surgery or Double Jaw Surgery in Tijuana stands out for correcting misalignments and the position of the jaw when there has been an excess or lack of growth of the mandibular bone. With the experience and knowledge of a maxillofacial surgeon, this procedure not only addresses functional issues but also aesthetic ones, such as prognathism, bite, and other dental-facial deformities or asymmetries.
Types of Orthognathic Surgery or Malocclusions:
Class III Double Jaw Surgery
Also called mandibular prognathism, this malocclusion occurs when the lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw, creating an appearance of "large or forward jaw" and often associated with functional difficulties as well as aesthetic ones.
Class II Double Jaw Surgery
Known as mandibular retrognathism, this malocclusion is characterized by a lower jaw positioned behind the upper jaw, which can lead to bite problems and facial aesthetic issues.
Double Jaw (Bimaxillary) Surgery
The double jaw surgery (bimaxillary) in Tijuana is a maxillofacial procedure that, unlike the traditional technique, simultaneously repositions both the upper jaw and the lower jaw, ensuring a perfect bite, improving breathing, and achieving completely natural facial harmony.
As this is a major procedure that requires millimeter-level precision, extended operating room time, and detailed planning, the cost of double jaw (bimaxillary) surgery typically ranges between $12,000 and $15,000 USD, which is approximately equivalent to 209,000 to 261,000 Mexican pesos, depending on the anatomical complexity and the specific surgical requirements of each patient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jaw Surgery
How Long Do I Need to Stay in Tijuana After Jaw Surgery?
We generally recommend staying in Tijuana for 1 to 2 days after surgery, for your immediate post-operative check-up and to make sure everything is in order before traveling back home.
How Painful Is Jaw Surgery, and How Long Does Recovery Take?
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, so there is no pain during the surgery itself, and post-operative discomfort is managed with prescription medication. Initial swelling noticeably improves within the first 2-3 weeks, although full recovery and the final aesthetic result can take 3 to 6 months.
Do I Need Orthodontic Treatment (Braces) Before and After Jaw Surgery?
It depends on the specific case. Some patients need orthodontic treatment before surgery, followed by a final adjustment afterward. Others go through orthodontics at the same time as the surgery, and some don't need it at all to be eligible. This is determined through diagnostic studies and an individual evaluation by the maxillofacial surgeon. We can coordinate directly with you and your orthodontist, even if they're based in the United States.
Do You Treat Patients From the United States?
Yes, we regularly treat patients from San Diego, Los Angeles, and other cities in California, as well as from other parts of the United States. We coordinate the entire process with you, from your first consultation through post-operative follow-up, so that your experience crossing the border for your surgery is as smooth as possible.
What Can I Eat After Surgery?
The liquid diet lasts between 5 days and 4 weeks after surgery, depending on the type of procedure. For cases involving only jaw repositioning or a mentoplasty (chin surgery), the liquid diet (smoothies, strained soups, juices) lasts approximately 5 days. Double jaw (bimaxillary) surgery, being a more extensive procedure, requires approximately 4 weeks on this diet. In both cases, solid foods are gradually reintroduced under medical supervision.
Is Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery) Safe in Mexico?
Yes, it is safe. Dr. Jorge Rodríguez Cisneros is certified by the Mexican Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Consejo Mexicano de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial, A.C.), with over 35 years of experience. The procedure is performed in an operating room under the same safety, anesthesia, and sterilization standards used in the United States, while offering significant savings on the total cost.
