Blepharoplasty is a common surgical technique performed in individuals seeking aesthetic enhancement. Thus, it is essential to investigate the factors influencing postoperative satisfaction from the patient's perspective. In this study, patient-rated outcome measure questionnaires were used to identify the factors affecting patient satisfaction after full-incision upper blepharoplasty.
This retrospective study analyzed patients who underwent full-incision upper blepharoplasty at an outpatient clinic in China. The questionnaire responses were collected by telephone, text messaging, or email at 6 and 12 months postoperatively.
In total, 149 questionnaires were collected. After a mean follow-up of 23.23 months, the patients' overall satisfaction rate was 89.43%. The factors that significantly affected postoperative satisfaction were the patient's education level, the source of referral to the surgeon, the patient's understanding of the surgical risks, application of a cold compress after surgery as recommended, unsatisfactory postoperative double-eyelid width, postoperative bilateral asymmetry, apparent postoperative cicatrices, and postoperative caterpillar-like appearance of the double eyelids. Education level, apparent postoperative cicatrices, and postoperative bilateral asymmetry influenced the patient's satisfaction with the surgical outcome. The patient's understanding of the surgical risks, unsatisfactory postoperative double-eyelid width, postoperative bilateral asymmetry, apparent postoperative cicatrices, and postoperative caterpillar-like appearance influenced the satisfaction of the patient's family and friends.
Postoperative bilateral asymmetry, apparent postoperative cicatrices, and a low education level of the patient are independent factors that negatively affect patient satisfaction with the outcome of double-eyelid blepharoplasty.

重睑术是一种常见的整形手术，旨在改善美容效果。因此，从患者的角度出发，探讨影响术后满意度的因素至关重要。本研究通过患者自评量表评估影响重睑术后满意度的因素。
本回顾性研究分析了在中国某门诊接受全切口上睑成形术的患者。术后 6 个月和 12 个月，通过电话、短信或电子邮件收集问卷回复。
共收集了 149 份问卷。平均随访 23.23 个月后，患者总体满意度为 89.43%。显著影响术后满意度的因素包括患者的受教育程度、向医生转诊的来源、患者对手术风险的理解、按建议术后冷敷、术后双眼皮宽度不满意、术后双侧不对称、明显的术后瘢痕、术后双眼皮呈毛毛虫样外观。受教育程度、明显的术后瘢痕和双侧术后不对称影响了患者对手术结果的满意度。患者对手术风险的理解、术后双眼皮宽度不满意、双侧术后不对称、明显的术后瘢痕和术后双眼皮呈毛毛虫样外观影响了患者家属和朋友的满意度。
术后双侧不对称、明显的术后瘢痕和患者受教育程度低是影响重睑术术后满意度的独立因素。
