The cost for Class III underbite surgery, specifically correcting only the lower jaw, can vary widely, but typically ranges from INR 50,000 to INR 2,00,000 or more in India. Recovery time after the surgery is generally 6-12 weeks, with initial healing taking about 6 weeks and full healing potentially taking up to 12 weeks.
