BACKGROUND This study evaluated the efficacy of 3-dimensional (3D) printed facial models in training medical students for cosmetic facial filler applications. A prospective observational study included 40 medical faculty students without prior filler application or surgical training. They received theoretical and practical training using 3D-printed face models, assessed through pre- and post-training surveys. MATERIAL AND METHODS Facial models were designed using SolidWorks and printed with a Mars 2 PRO 3D printer using PLA filament and high-performance silicone. Training comprised in-class instruction, live demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individual guidance. Students' skills were assessed through self-assessments and objective criteria. RESULTS After training, students showed significant improvement in procedural understanding and application locations, with increased confidence and competence (P<0.001). Statistical analysis confirmed these improvements. CONCLUSIONS 3D-printed facial models are valuable for enhancing medical students' skills in cosmetic facial fillers, offering cost-effective and safe simulation. This approach improves practical skills and confidence, benefiting medical education and patient care.
本研究评估了 3 维（3D）打印面部模型在培训医学生进行美容面部填充物应用方面的效果。一项前瞻性观察研究纳入了 40 名没有填充物应用或手术培训经验的医学教师学生。他们使用 3D 打印面部模型接受了理论和实践培训，并通过培训前后的调查进行评估。材料和方法：使用 SolidWorks 设计面部模型，使用 Mars 2 PRO 3D 打印机和 PLA 灯丝以及高性能硅酮进行打印。培训包括课堂教学、现场演示、实践操作和个别指导。学生的技能通过自我评估和客观标准进行评估。结果：培训后，学生在程序理解和应用部位方面表现出显著的改善，并且信心和能力有所提高（P<0.001）。统计分析证实了这些改善。结论：3D 打印面部模型对于提高医学生在美容面部填充物方面的技能非常有价值，提供了具有成本效益和安全性的模拟。这种方法可以提高实践技能和信心，有益于医学教育和患者护理。
