About Distraction Osteogenesis
Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) is a modern surgical technique used to correct bone deformities, lengthen bones, and reshape facial structures. It works by gradually stretching a surgically divided bone, allowing new bone and soft tissue to form in the created space. This method is highly effective for treating conditions like jaw discrepancies, facial asymmetry, congenital deformities, or post-traumatic defects.
At Dr. Prem Anand’s Clinic in Bangalore, we specialize in advanced distraction osteogenesis procedures to restore function, aesthetics, and symmetry in patients with facial or jawbone deformities.

How Distraction Osteogenesis Works in Bangalore
Gradual Bone Lengthening for Safe & Effective Results
The procedure begins with a surgical cut in the bone (osteotomy). A specialized device called a distractor is placed, which gradually moves the two bone segments apart. As the gap increases slowly (usually 1 mm per day), new bone naturally forms in the space, along with the adaptation of surrounding soft tissues like skin, muscles, and nerves.
At Dr. Prem Anand’s Clinic, distraction osteogenesis is planned with precision using advanced imaging and 3D planning tools to ensure accurate, safe, and aesthetically pleasing results.
