Abstract

Plastic facial surgery is being carried out on children with Down syndrome with the objective of improving these children's physical, personal, and social functioning. This study investigated the effect of such surgery on parents' perceptions, both of the current status of their children's functioning and of changes in this functioning. Perceptions of parents of children who had undergone this surgery in Israel in the years 1982 and 1983 were compared with perceptions of parents of children who had not undergone the operation. This comparison produced little evidence for the positive impact of the surgery on parents' perceptions of their children's physical, personal, and social functioning.
