Objective: Patients presenting for corrective facial surgery may have ideals that are not congruent with their surgeon's expectations for surgical outcomes. To identify and reduce disparities in expectations, the Facial Appearance as Core Expression Scale (FACES) was developed to assess the extent to which individuals identify their own faces as representing their ideal self.
Method: In Study 1, 504 healthy young adult participants answered online questions about their own faces.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the connection between psychiatric illness and postoperative complications in patients undergoing outpatient oral and maxillofacial surgeries.
- It analyzed data from 3,874 patients in 2018, revealing that about 21.37% had a psychiatric diagnosis, but these conditions did not significantly relate to postoperative complications, which occurred in 11.33% of patients.
- Factors like sex, type of surgery, and anesthetic technique were statistically significant in influencing postoperative outcomes, while psychiatric history was not.
