Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Patient Psychology

Background:

  • Patient motivations and expectations are crucial for assessing orthognathic surgery outcomes.
  • Understanding these factors can significantly influence patient satisfaction post-surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore pre-operative motivations and post-operative reflections of patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
  • To identify key themes influencing patient satisfaction with surgical results.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative study involving consecutive patients undergoing orthognathic surgery.
  • Two structured interviews were conducted: pre-operatively and post-operatively.
  • Verbatim interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.

Main Results:

  • Pre-operative themes included hopes for aesthetic, socio-emotional, and functional improvements, alongside fears of surgical risks and recovery.
  • Post-operative themes highlighted a challenging recovery but also reported functional, aesthetic, and socio-emotional improvements.
  • Seven patients completed post-operative interviews, with no reported regrets.

Conclusions:

  • Orthognathic surgery patients are primarily motivated by desires for improved aesthetics, function, and socio-emotional well-being.
  • Despite recovery challenges, patients generally experience positive outcomes and satisfaction after orthognathic surgery.
