Acknowledgement
I am very happy to submit my paper to "Maxillofacial Plastic and Reconsturctive Surgery." The title of my manuscript is "3-Dimensional Analysis of Skeletal Stability after 2-Jaw Surgery via Surgery-first Approach in Facial Asymmetry Patients." This study investigates the skeletal stability after 2-jaw surgery via surgery-first approach in facial asymmetry patients. In this study, we found that orthognathic surgery through the surgery-first approach showed similar results in terms of postoperative skeletal stability as the traditional method that is used after orthodontic treatment, but a significant lateral variation of the upper midline was observed. In addition, a shorter average treatment duration was observed. All of the authors including the corresponding author have read and approved the final manuscript. None of the authors had a personal or financial conflict of interest. This manuscript or any portion of this manuscript has not been previously published before and has not been submitted for publication elsewhere while under consideration for "MPRS." The paper has been written according to the guidelines provided by "MPRS." I would appreciate very much if you could review it for publication. We thank you in advance for your concern. Yours sincerely.
