Facial cosmetic procedures, known for their rising popularity, frequently yield high patient satisfaction. However, certain patient characteristics may influence this satisfaction. Additionally, patients' satisfaction can affect their attitudes and preferences toward these procedures and recommendations to others. Our study aimed to assess post-procedure satisfaction among individuals who have undergone cosmetic facial filling procedures at dermatology clinics.
This cross-sectional study targeted the Saudi population who had undergone cosmetic facial filling procedures, excluding individuals under 18, those with a history of mental health disorders, or invasive surgical procedures, as well as those unable or unwilling to provide informed consent. Data were collected using a comprehensive questionnaire covering demographics, procedure details, satisfaction, and future plans. A 5-point Likert scale was used to assess self-perception and satisfaction. The questionnaire was developed after expert consultation and a literature review, with overall satisfaction calculated as the mean of all items.
In this study of 408 participants in Saudi Arabia, predominantly young, unmarried females, high satisfaction levels were observed following cosmetic facial filling procedures, with a mean score of 3.9 for procedure results and 3.8 for meeting expectations. Most participants were Saudi nationals (97.8%), aged below 25 (41.7%), and held Bachelor's degrees (80.6%), with a majority being females (87.7%). Notably, factors significantly affecting overall satisfaction included gender (p = 0.001), marital status (p = 0.023), income (p = 0.031), procedure duration (p = 0.003), and procedure type (p = 0.046). These findings offer crucial insights for enhancing patient experiences and outcomes in cosmetic facial filling procedures.
This study unveiled substantial self-satisfaction levels, particularly regarding appearance and social well-being, emphasizing the significance of informative pre-procedure guidance, while gender, marital status, income, procedure duration, and type significantly impacted satisfaction. Healthcare providers must heed these factors to enhance patient contentment and overall procedure success.
面部美容手术越来越受欢迎，患者满意度通常较高。然而，某些患者特征可能会影响这种满意度。此外，患者的满意度会影响他们对这些手术的态度和偏好以及向他人的推荐。我们的研究旨在评估在皮肤科诊所接受面部美容填充手术的个体术后的满意度。
这项横断面研究针对的是接受过面部美容填充手术的沙特人群，排除18岁以下个体、有精神健康障碍病史或侵入性外科手术史的个体，以及无法或不愿提供知情同意的个体。通过一份涵盖人口统计学、手术细节、满意度和未来计划的综合问卷收集数据。采用5点李克特量表来评估自我认知和满意度。该问卷是在专家咨询和文献综述后制定的，总体满意度以所有项目的平均值计算。
在这项对沙特阿拉伯408名参与者的研究中，主要是年轻未婚女性，面部美容填充手术后观察到较高的满意度水平，手术结果平均得分为3.9分，符合预期平均得分为3.8分。大多数参与者是沙特国民（97.8%），年龄在25岁以下（41.7%），拥有学士学位（80.6%），大多数为女性（87.7%）。值得注意的是，显著影响总体满意度的因素包括性别（p = 0.001）、婚姻状况（p = 0.023）、收入（p = 0.031）、手术持续时间（p = 0.003）和手术类型（p = 0.046）。这些发现为改善面部美容填充手术的患者体验和结果提供了关键见解。
本研究揭示了较高的自我满意度水平，特别是在外观和社会幸福感方面，强调了术前提供信息指导的重要性，同时性别、婚姻状况、收入、手术持续时间和类型显著影响满意度。医疗保健提供者必须关注这些因素，以提高患者满意度和手术总体成功率。
