Abstract
There are several congenital facial deformities of such severity that the victims look grotesque. Many of these patients have been labelled mentally defective without justification. Their appearance has caused them to grow up severely handicapped socially and psychologically. It is becoming technically possible to utilize major facial and cranial osteotomies to reposition and correct these hideous deformities.
