Can a TMJ arthroscopy, lip reduction and otoplasty be completed in one session?

Asked By:Neat594389 in Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Due to birth trauma, I have a sever TMJ problem. My joint clicks and hurts so bad that I cannot bear it. I've tried therapy for the joint and it does not seem to work. Moreover, I was told that my lip and my ears are asymmetrical because of the birth trauma. Is it possible to have these 3 issues corrected in the same procedure?
