A jaw surgeon has stunned social media users after revealing the dramatic transformation of a patient just 20 days after undergoing a series of corrective jaw procedures.
Dr. Narmin Gurbanova, an Azerbaijani specialist known for her work in orthognathic surgery, shared before-and-after images of the patient on Instagram, showing the noticeable changes in the woman’s facial profile following a carefully planned combination of jaw and chin procedures.
The images quickly attracted attention online, with many people amazed by how much the patient’s facial balance had changed in such a short period of time.
A Complex Surgical Plan Behind the Transformation
According to Dr. Gurbanova, the patient’s journey began with orthodontic preparation before the surgical phase. Orthodontic treatment is often an important step before corrective jaw surgery because it helps properly align the teeth and prepare the jaws for repositioning.
After this preparation, the patient underwent three major procedures:
- Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO) — a surgery that allows surgeons to reposition the lower jaw to improve alignment and facial balance.
- Le Fort I Osteotomy — a procedure that adjusts the position of the upper jaw.
- Genioplasty — a chin surgery designed to reshape or reposition the chin.
Together, these procedures can dramatically improve the relationship between the upper jaw, lower jaw, chin, and facial features.
Sharing the results online, Dr. Gurbanova explained that the improvement was already visible only a few weeks after the operation.
“The transformation achieved is already clearly evident just 20 days after the surgery. Noticeable improvements are observed in the facial profile, dental occlusion, and smile aesthetics.”
She also highlighted the importance of teamwork between the medical team and the patient throughout the process.
“This result is the fruit of strong teamwork, precise planning, and patient cooperation.”
More Than Just an Appearance Change
While many people online focused on the visible facial transformation, orthognathic surgery is typically performed for reasons that go beyond aesthetics.
Corrective jaw procedures can help patients with issues related to jaw misalignment, bite problems, difficulty chewing, speech concerns, and facial asymmetry.
By carefully moving the upper jaw, lower jaw, and chin into improved positions, surgeons can create better facial harmony while also improving important daily functions.
The field of orthognathic surgery has grown significantly in recent years, with more patients seeking treatment for both functional and confidence-related reasons.
Dr. Gurbanova has performed hundreds of corrective jaw procedures throughout her career and continues to share educational examples of how advanced surgical techniques can transform patients’ lives.
Social Media Reacts to the Dramatic Results
After the images were posted online, thousands of users shared their thoughts about the patient’s transformation.
Many praised the results, describing the surgery as an example of how modern medicine can make a meaningful difference.
One person commented:
“This is amazing and the type of surgery that’s worth it!”
Another user wrote:
“This is what those surgeries are made for. Not for celebrities to make cosmetic adjustments that they’ll never be happy with.”
The post also sparked conversations about the purpose of facial surgery, with some users pointing out that procedures like these are often about improving health, comfort, and quality of life rather than simply changing someone’s appearance.
For many patients, the goal of orthognathic surgery is not only a different look, but a better balance between function, confidence, and overall well-being.
This patient’s transformation, visible just 20 days after surgery, highlights how careful planning and modern surgical techniques can create remarkable changes in facial structure and jaw function.
