In order to evaluate patient satisfaction after surgical correction of prognathism, a questionnaire was sent to 52 patients at one year post surgery. The attitudes of 35 patients were analyzed. Results were as follows. 1. 14 of 35 cases complained of disturbed mastication and the same number of cosmetic dissafisfaction. 2. 29 cases were satisfied with post-surgical cosmetic appearance. 3. 9 of 16 cases noted improvmed pronunciation after surgery. 4. the size of tongue after surgery was not related to lingual movement. 5. Paresthesia was noted in 23 cases. 14 of the 23 cases noted subsequent resolution. Abnormal sensation remained in 9 cases. Symptoms of paresthesia were completely resolved within 6 months in 12 of the 14 cases (85.7%). 6. 17 of 27 cases complained of temporomandibular joint disorders, which do not resolve in 9 of the 17 cases. The other 8 cases showed no symptoms at one year post surgery. 7. 31 of 35 cases (88.6%) complained of some degree of intermaxillary fixation.
