Orthognathic surgery frequently causes postoperative edema, pain, and trismus. The study compares two adjunctive therapies: kinesio taping and hilotherapy. Forty-four patients without systemic disease, undergoing Le Fort I + BSSRO, will be randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 will receive kinesio taping for 5 days. Group 2 will undergo hilotherapy for 48 hours. Pain (VAS), trismus (mouth opening), and edema (measured by both tape and 3D scanner) will be assessed at multiple postoperative time points. The goal is to determine the more effective intervention for postoperative recovery.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Elastic kinesio tape applied postoperatively to the facial region and left in place for 5 days.
A polyurethane facial mask delivering continuous +17°C water cooling for 48 hours post-surgery.
Time frame: Baseline (Post-op 1.hour) and Post-op Days 1, 2, 5, 10, and 30
Facial edema will be measured using both linear tape-based anthropometric measurements and 3D facial scanning at specified time points. Measurements will include tragus-to-ala, tragus-to-pogonion, and other standard facial distances.
Time frame: Baseline(Post-op 1.hour) and Post-op Days 1, 2, 5, 10, and 30 |
Pain will be assessed using a 10-point Visual Analog Scale (VAS), with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst imaginable pain.
Time frame: Baseline(Post-op 1.hour) and Post-op Days 1, 2, 5, 10, and 30
Trismus will be assessed by measuring maximum interincisal distance using a millimeter ruler.
