“…Having an oral and maxillofacial problem may result in negative psychological consequences such as low self-esteem and self-concept, having beliefs of worthlessness, lack of love and helplessness, anxiety, stress, fantasies about the surgery, depressive symptoms, self-disqualification due to divergence between the real body image and the desired one, not present a culturally expected facial beauty model. Due to the complexity of the clinical condition and the different biopsychosocial variables involved, a multidisciplinary approach is of great importance (Zane, Tavano and Peres, 2002;Vicentini, 2020;Frid, Baker & Johnsen, 2022).…”

“…Recent works point out the importance of the interaction between Psychologist and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, (Burden et al, 2010, Basso et cols, 2022. Many patients with surgical needs and candidates for surgical intervention have high levels of perfectionism, low self-esteem, feelings of being less attractive, insecure, especially for Class III patients, (Gerzanic, Jagsch and Watzke, 2002;Venete et al, 2017), and, for some patients, psychotherapeutic care is imperative before surgical intervention (Frid, Baker & Johnsen, 2022) Carvalho et al (2012 draw attention to the psychosocial characteristics of patients that contribute to orthosurgical treatment, such as psychological support for the prevention of risk factors for psychological distress. One cannot dispense with psychotherapeutic care in the presence of psychopathological conditions such as fear, panic, depression, stress, OCD, OPD, body image disorder.…”

“…For this, it is necessary to plan and prepare the patient's prior and postsurgical psychological preparation, as this will offer the patient a better quality of life in aesthetic, functional and psychosocial aspects. (Guimarães Filho et al, 2014;Frid, Baker & Johnsen, 2022) It is estimated that 1/5 of the population has dentofacial deformities that lead to corrective surgery (Gonçalves, 2017). These are people who exhibit changes in the facial profile, chin, positioning of the maxilla and mandible with class I, II and III, among other oral and maxillofacial needs (Ambrizzi, et al, 2005) and, in view of this, patients face a series of existential difficulties.…”

This article addresses the need to build an interprofessional dialogue between Psychology and oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, having as a reading point the Body Image (CI) and the socio-emotional aspects of patients with dentofacial deformities undergoing orthognathic surgery. Two health professionals were interviewed (an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and a Hospital Psychologist). It was observed that there are patients, after the surgical intervention, who have difficulties in dealing with the new Body Image. Most manifest satisfaction, improved quality of life, however some have difficulties in dealing with the new Body Image, showing surprise and psychic suffering. The team must deal with expectations, beliefs, feelings and emotions before the surgery and also in the post-surgical period. In addition, the importance of a multidisciplinary team for the planning, execution and post-surgical intervention was noticed. Orthognathic surgery is a considerable option in the treatment of dentofacial deformities and their aggravations, however, given the plurality of results and reactions, the importance of psychological follow-up before and after surgery and also of better dialogue between the professional fields is noted.
