Patients with dentofacial anomalies may undergo orthognathic surgery to address functional and aesthetic concerns. Past works have evaluated determinants affecting length of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing upper and/or lower jaw surgery alone. No studies have assessed the addition of genioplasty to double-jaw (Lefort I, bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO))) surgery and its effect on LOS and other outcomes. This study investigates whether the addition of genioplasty incurs additional morbidity to patients undergoing complex orthognathic surgery. This was a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing orthognathic surgery at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Clinical and demographic information were compared across the "double"- and "triple"-jaw cohorts with t tests and Chi-squared analyses. Multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were utilized to assess the impact of genioplasty when controlling for baseline patient differences. A total of 27 patients received Lefort I and BSSO (double-jaw), and 224 received Lefort I, BSSO, and genioplasty (triple-jaw). Six (22.2%) double-jaw patients were segmental and fifty-eight (25.9%) triple-jaw patients were segmental (p > 0.05), during the study period. Triple-jaw surgery was associated with increased operative time (+ 41.1 min, p < 0.01). There was no increase in LOS, postoperative nausea and vomiting, opioid use, hematoma, or infection (p > 0.05). This study attempted to determine if triple-jaw surgery could influence patients' LOS and other surgical outcomes compared to double-jaw surgery. Only the operative time was significantly affected. This indicates that incorporation of a genioplasty can provide aesthetic benefit without incurring significant additional morbidity to the patient.
