Background: Double jaw surgeries are performed to correct the deformities that involve both the maxilla and the mandibula. We aim to evaluate the perioperative process with cephalometric measurements regarding their motives and fulfilments following the double jaw surgery. Material and Methods: We evaluated the perioperative process retrospectively in double jaw surgery for dentofacial deformities in the last ten years at Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. The questionnaire of motives for the surgical treatment and the Postsurgical Patient Satisfaction questionnaire (PSPSQ) were investigated. Results: The majority of the patients (88.4 %) reported satisfaction, and 85.9 % reported an increase in their self-confidence following surgery. Both functional and aesthetic motivations were reported successfully satisfied following double jaw surgery. The data from the PSPSQ reported a high degree of post-treatment satisfaction for the patients. The younger patients had an influence on the degree of overall treatment satisfaction for appearance and social motives (p<0.05). The women patients expressed greater value for social and disease prevention motives than men (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Despite the various difficulties of the perioperative process, the patients expressed high levels of satisfaction following surgery. Besides, the increase in self-esteem, the improvement in masticatory functions, and the amelioration in the external appearance are expressed apparently by the female patients.
