The lion's share of the research on facial aesthetic procedures focuses on visual results and patient satisfaction.
To characterize treated and untreated potential patients and the identification of determinants that influence the decision making as well as the impact of such treatments on patients' self-perception.
A cross-sectional, propensity-score-matched study on minimally invasive aesthetic procedures was performed through a survey comprising elements regarding demographics, conduct toward minimally invasive facial plastic interventions, as well as psychological well-being and social self-esteem domains of the validated Face-Q module.
Complete data were collected from 598 participants. Among those, 88% ( = 529) were females and 12% ( = 69) were males. Forty-six percent ( = 277) of the participants were below the age of 30, and 39% ( = 233) were between 30 and 45 years of age. Of the 598 participants, 22% ( = 134) of the participants had undergone a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure of botulinum toxin and/or hyaluronic acid injection, and 78% ( = 464) of the participants had never received any aesthetic treatment. Female gender, 30 to 45 years of age, self-employment, and an income over 75,000€ were significant predictors of undergoing minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. Among treated participants, the overall FACE-Q score as well as the scores for the social esteem and the psychological well-being domains improved significantly with the aesthetic treatment.
This study highlights the major role of healthcare providers in better informing patients and the positive impact of facial aesthetic treatments on patients' appearance as well as on psychological well-being and self-esteem.
对面部美容手术的研究主要集中在视觉效果和患者满意度上。
描述接受和未接受治疗的潜在患者特征，确定影响决策的因素以及此类治疗对患者自我认知的影响。
通过一项调查进行了一项关于微创美容手术的横断面、倾向得分匹配研究，该调查包括有关人口统计学、对微创面部整形干预的态度以及经过验证的面部质量（Face-Q）模块的心理健康和社会自尊领域的内容。
从598名参与者中收集了完整数据。其中，88%（n = 529）为女性，12%（n = 69）为男性。46%（n = 277）的参与者年龄在30岁以下，39%（n = 233）的参与者年龄在30至45岁之间。在598名参与者中，22%（n = 134）的参与者接受过肉毒杆菌毒素和/或透明质酸注射的微创美容手术，78%（n = 464）的参与者从未接受过任何美容治疗。女性、30至45岁、自营职业以及收入超过75000欧元是接受微创美容手术的显著预测因素。在接受治疗的参与者中，美容治疗后整体面部质量（FACE-Q）得分以及社会自尊和心理健康领域的得分均有显著提高。
本研究强调了医疗保健提供者在更好地告知患者方面的主要作用，以及面部美容治疗对患者外貌、心理健康和自尊的积极影响。
