Selecting appropriate patients for facial cosmetic surgery can reduce patient management problems as well as increase the number of patients satisfied with their treatment and with the aesthetic result. In addition to medical considerations, the psychological make-up of a particular patient should play an important role in the decision to operate. Research with 55 patients undergoing aesthetic regenerative facial surgery has produced data which indicate particular personality characteristics to consider in the selection process. These four characteristics--self-evaluation of attractiveness, anxiety, fear, and expectation--are represented by the acronym SAFE; they are presented in this article along with the techniques for a surgeon to use when evaluating a patient for each characteristic. This method aids in selecting SAFE patients for surgery.
为面部整形手术选择合适的患者，既能减少患者管理问题，又能增加对治疗和美学效果满意的患者数量。除了医学考量外，特定患者的心理构成在手术决策中也应发挥重要作用。对55名接受面部美容再生手术的患者进行的研究得出了一些数据，这些数据表明在选择过程中需要考虑的特定人格特征。这四个特征——吸引力自我评估、焦虑、恐惧和期望——由首字母缩写词SAFE表示；本文将介绍这些特征，以及外科医生在评估患者的每个特征时可使用的技巧。这种方法有助于选择适合手术的SAFE患者。
