This presentation provides an in-depth overview detailing the pre-surgical education provided to patients and their parents prior to undergoing orthognathic surgery to help manage expectations, improve compliance, and set realistic expectations of their post-operative course. Following liquid diet compliance is crucial to appropriate healing and an in-depth review of longer-term liquid diet management and ideas is provided by a registered dietitian. Post-surgical pain control, oral care, diet and activity restrictions and management of potential post-surgical complications both in the hospital and at home after discharge will be discussed. This presentation will also discuss suicide screening in the adolescent patient and focus on many of the unique care needs facing the adolescent patients and their family as well as preparing them for the psychosocial challenges they may experience with a complex surgery that will alter their facial aesthetics.
