Simultaneous mobilization of maxilla and mandible (Le Fort-I Osteotomy+ Sagittal Splitting Osteotomy) was performed to flatten occlusal plane and after 6 months Genioplasty was done to correct remaining facial asymmetry.Although minimum skeletal relapse occurred quite early after the first operation, desired facial symmetry was acquired.
