Background: Knowledge is scarce about the role of massive weight loss in facial age perception. The aim of this study was to verify whether there is a change in the perception of facial age when comparing people with morbid obesity before surgery and 1 year after the procedure.
Methods: Patients with morbid obesity have been analyzed, through a prospective cohort, before and 1 year after undergoing bariatric surgery.
Importance: Within cosmetic facial plastic surgery, there is considerable difficulty in producing high-quality scientific publications because of the lack of scientific tools that serve to transform sensations, such as more beautiful or rejuvenated, into numbers capable of being used in statistical analysis.
Objective: To validate an objective evaluation method that can be used to define the perception of facial age in scientific studies.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This is a cross-sectional, observational study of evaluation by plastic surgeons of 70 photographs of patients from a private care hospital performed from March 1, 2015, through April 30, 2016.
