Abstract

To know the psychological effect of two-jaw surgery, we evaluated patients' reaction to the result of the surgery which were performed to them retrospectively with questionnaire by mail. Twenty-seven out of 44 (61.4%) patients, we operated between 1990 and 1991, responded to a questionnaire and most of them rated the result as satisfactory, but some shows mild disappointment especially in elder patient or big changed case. Two jaw surgery changing face significantly for adult patient is an important consideration.
