This study was to test the validity of patients' opinions and provide a more accurate method than previously reported of assessing the specific psycho-social effects of orthognathic surgery. Questionnaires were used preoperatively and postoperatively providing a longitudinal sample, while those patients who only completed questionnaires either before or after surgery provided cross-sectional samples. Different questionnaires were used to provide data on a 'Body Satisfaction Scale', 'Fear of Negative Evaluation', 'Social Avoidance and Distress', and a 'General Health Questionnaire'. The results indicate that surgery produced an improvement in body image, particularly in the evaluation of facial attractiveness.
本研究旨在检验患者意见的有效性，并提供一种比先前报道更准确的方法来评估正颌手术的具体心理社会影响。术前和术后均使用问卷以提供纵向样本，而那些仅在手术前或手术后完成问卷的患者则提供横断面样本。使用不同的问卷来提供关于“身体满意度量表”、“对负面评价的恐惧”、“社交回避与苦恼”以及“一般健康问卷”的数据。结果表明，手术改善了身体形象，尤其是在面部吸引力的评价方面。
