Dr. Nelson Leon

Surgical Strategies to Achieve Esthetics in Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS)

FRIDAY 30TH JANUARY TIME: 15:45 - 17:00

AboutThe Speaker

Dr. Nelson Leon has redefined the modern approach to jaw surgery. As a specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, he has built a private practice exclusively dedicated to minimally invasive orthognathic surgery (MIOS) and dental implants, helping patients achieve not only functional balance but also natural facial harmony.

Educated in Caracas, Venezuela, first at Santa María University and then at the Hospital General del Oeste, Dr. Leon transformed his vision into reality: to make jaw surgery less traumatic, more precise, and deeply aligned with the principles of facial aesthetics.

His mission is simple yet profound: to transform lives through surgical excellence. By combining advanced techniques with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics, he delivers results that go beyond structural correction, restoring confidence and redefining identity.

Abstract

This lecture presents a modern approach to orthognathic surgery, focusing on how minimally invasive techniques can dramatically enhance facial and dental esthetics. By reducing surgical trauma through limited dissection and digital planning, MIOS offers faster recovery and refined outcomes.

Designed for dental professionals, the presentation highlights the role of jaw repositioning in optimizing smile design, incisal display, and facial balance. With clinical cases and interdisciplinary insights, Dr. Leon will demonstrate how MIOS aligns surgical precision with esthetic goals reshaping the future of functional and cosmetic dentistry.

LearningAims & Objectives

Aims

To present a modern, aesthetically driven approach to orthognathic surgery using Minimally Invasive Orthognathic Surgery (MIOS) principles.
To demonstrate how surgical strategies can harmonize skeletal corrections with facial and dental aesthetics.
To inspire a shift toward less invasive, more refined techniques that preserve anatomy, accelerate recovery, and elevate aesthetic outcomes.

Objectives

Understand the core principles of MIOS, including soft tissue preservation, skeletal movement control, and a faster recovery process.
Identify key aesthetic landmarks and their influence on facial perception in orthognathic planning.
Apply surgical strategies that balance function and esthetics with minimal invasiveness.
Integrate MIOS techniques into interdisciplinary treatment plans, particularly in collaboration with aesthetic dentistry.
Evaluate outcomes through the lens of facial harmony, symmetry, and patient satisfaction.
