FOE Scale: Comprehensive Facial Surgery Outcome Evaluation Measure
The Facial Outcome Evaluation (FOE) scale is a comprehensive patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) used to assess the results of a wide range of facial surgical procedures. It is designed to capture the patient's unique perspective on the success of their surgery by evaluating critical aspects such as overall aesthetic improvement, the naturalness of the result, facial harmony, and psychosocial well-being, including self-confidence and social comfort. The FOE scale translates subjective experiences into quantitative data, offering a structured framework for patients and surgeons to measure and discuss the multifaceted impact of facial surgery.
