Please explain what happens to people after lobotomy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lobotomy: It depends on what the lobotomy is being done for - if for tumor and localized to one lobe the outcome can be quite tolerable. The frontal lobotomy done for psychiatric issues has not been done in years due to the improvement in medications which have replaced this technique.
