为了支持面部美容领域新技术和新技术的发展，需要采用复杂的方法来衡量结果。这项研究的目的是开发一套患者报告结果(PRO)量表的内容，用于面部美容患者。通过文献综述、患者访谈和面部美容患者专家的意见，为面部美容患者的治疗结果建立了一个概念性框架，并构建了条目和一套初步的PRO量表。概念框架包括以下主题：对面部外观的满意度；与健康相关的生活质量；康复、早期生活影响和不良影响；以及对护理过程的满意度。脸部的各个部位(如鼻子、耳朵、额头、脸颊等)都有不同的鳞片。而不是特定的面部手术。这种新的PRO仪器名为Face-Q，包含多个独立记分量表，包括手术前和术后版本。一旦完成心理测量评估，Face-Q将为研究人员和医生提供必要的工具，从患者的角度衡量面部美容手术的影响和有效性。Face-Q有可能支持倡导、质量指标和以证据为基础的面部美容实践方法。
To support the development of new techniques and technology in facial aesthetics, sophisticated ways of measuring outcomes are needed. The objective of this study was to develop the content of a set of patient-reported outcome (PRO) scales for use with facial aesthetic patients. A literature review, patient interviews, and input from experts working with facial aesthetic patients were used to develop a conceptual framework for the outcomes deemed important to facial aesthetic patients and to construct items and a set of preliminary PRO scales. The conceptual framework includes the following themes: satisfaction with facial appearance; health-related quality of life; recovery, early life impact, and adverse effects; and satisfaction with process of care. Separate scales were developed for all parts of the face (e. g., nose, ears, forehead, cheeks, etc.) rather than for particular facial procedures. This new PRO instrument, called the FACE-Q, contains multiple independently scoreable scales with preoperative and postoperative versions. Once psychometric evaluation is completed, the FACE-Q will provide researchers and physicians with the necessary tools to measure the impact and effectiveness of facial aesthetic procedures from the patients' perspective. The FACE-Q has the potential to support advocacy, quality metrics, and an evidence-based approach to facial aesthetic practice.
