This can occur for a range of reasons: <strong>surgical relapse<\/strong>, where the jaw gradually returns toward its original position; inadequate bone movement during the first procedure; post-surgical complications such as <strong>condylar resorption<\/strong> or hardware failure; or changes in skeletal structure due to ongoing growth or trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike primary <strong>corrective jaw surgery<\/strong>, revision procedures must account for the presence of scar tissue, previously placed fixation hardware, altered bone density, and modified soft tissue anatomy \u2014 all of which significantly increase surgical complexity.
