Psychometric validation of the FACE-Q Aesthetics Satisfaction with Temples scale in individuals seeking minimally invasive treatment to improve temple hollowing. J Cosmet Dermatol 2024. [PMID: 39101674 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.16450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The FACE-Q Aesthetics is used extensively to measure patient reported outcomes for minimally invasive and surgical facial aesthetic treatments. We recently developed a new FACE-Q scale to assess satisfaction with the appearance of the temples. AIM The aim of this study was to field test the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Temples scale to examine its psychometric properties. METHODS The FACE-Q Satisfaction with Temples scale was administered to 171 adults (22 years or older) seeking minimally invasive treatment to improve temple hollowing as part of a clinical trial. The severity of temple hollowing was established through the clinician-reported Allergan Temple Hollowing scale (clinician-rated). The psychometric properties of the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Temples scale were established by testing Rasch Measurement Theory (RMT) assumptions and model fit; unidimensionality by principal component analysis; and construct validity by hypothesis testing. RESULTS The study sample consisted of 171 adults (mean age 54.7 ± 9.9, range, 25-82 years). RMT analysis provided evidence for the scientific soundness of a 12-item Satisfaction with Temples scale. The data fit the Rasch model (χ2 = 20.47, df = 24, p = 0.67), all items had ordered thresholds, and good item fit. Scale reliability was high, with Person Separation Index and Cronbach alpha values with and without extremes ≥0.93. Principal component analysis revealed a single component with high factor coefficients. Construct validity was established as scores for the Satisfaction with Temples and Face Overall scales were correlated (r = 0.623, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The FACE-Q Satisfaction with Temples scale is a reliable and valid measure that can be used in clinical practice and research to measure outcomes following treatment for temple hollowing.

J Cosmet Dermatol 2021; 21:608-614. [PMID: 34921494 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.14672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2021] [Revised: 11/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have started investigating the safety of temporal rejuvenation using soft tissue fillers. However, as the temporal region is highly vascularized, adverse events due to intravascular injection are of primary concern. The scarcity of treatment guidelines to date have focused primarily on avoiding the superficial and middle temporal arteries. The aim of the present anatomical study was to describe the topography of the deep temporal arteries (DTAs) with reference to superficial landmarks, to aid clinicians who perform temporal injections. METHODS The tissue layers of eight fresh-frozen cephalic cadavers were dissected and assessed, bilaterally in the temporal region (N = 16). Distance (D) of the anterior (D1 and D3) and posterior (D2 and D4) arteries was measured from (i) the zygomaticofrontal suture line at the lateral orbital rim (D1 and D2) and (ii) the junction of the superior border of the zygomatic arch and lateral orbital rim (D3 and D4). The distance between the anterior and posterior DTAs was also recorded, at the two regions (D5). RESULTS Bifurcations of the DTAs were observed in 18.75% (3/16) and 12.5% (2/16) of cases, for the anterior and posterior branches, respectively. On average [mean (standard deviation)], D1 (anterior DTA to the zygomaticofrontal suture line at the lateral orbital rim) = 1.56 cm (0.59); D2 (posterior DTA to the zygomaticofrontal suture line at the lateral orbital rim) = 2.98 cm (0.70); D3 (anterior DTA to the junction of the superior border of the zygomatic arch and lateral orbital rim) = 1.14 cm (0.63); D4 (posterior DTA to the junction of the superior border of the zygomatic arch and lateral orbital rim) = 2.37 cm (0.62); and D5 (distance between the anterior and posterior DTAs) = 1.54 cm (0.68). CONCLUSION To help avoid vascular adverse events while performing temporal injections, aesthetic clinicians should be conscientious of safety implications related to the anatomical location of the DTAs and their ramifications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hollowing of the temple area is an early sign of aging that is often overlooked, but when corrected, can lead to significant subject and physician satisfaction. AIMS To assess physician and subject awareness of the impact of temporal hollowing on appearance and to evaluate treatment satisfaction following injection of calcium hydroxylapatite with integral lidocaine (CaHA(+)). PATIENTS/METHODS Subjects with temporal depression grade ≥2 on a validated Temple Hollowing Scale were recruited. CaHA(+) was injected supraperiosteally using a bolus technique. Photographs were taken prior to treatment and 30 days, and graded by three evaluating physicians using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and Temple Hollowing Scale. The same physicians estimated subjects' age before and after treatment. Photographs were graded by patients as part of a satisfaction questionnaire. RESULTS The study enrolled 10 subjects aged 32-68 years old. Physician GAIS scores of subject appearance at 1 month were rated as "very much improved" in 80% and "much improved" in 20% of subjects. Temple hollows were graded as 1 after treatment in 90% of subjects. Following blinded review of patients' true ages, estimates for subjects' perceived age were on average 4 years younger than their actual age. Most subjects had not been aware of temple hollowing prior to treatment, but nine out of 10 were very to extremely satisfied with results, and all were willing to repeat treatment. No treatment complications were observed. CONCLUSION Treatment of the temple area can have a dramatic aesthetic effect and should not be neglected when addressing facial rejuvenation. CaHA(+) is an effective and well-tolerated product for use in the temple area and is associated with a high degree of subject and physician satisfaction.

Abstract
LEARNING OBJECTIVES After reading this article and watching the accompanying videos, the participant should be able to: 1. Assess patients seeking facial volumization and correlate volume deficiencies anatomically. 2. Identify appropriate fillers based on rheologic properties and anatomical needs. 3. Recognize poor candidates for facial volumization. 4. Recognize and treat filler-related side effects and complications. SUMMARY Facial volumization is widely applied for minimally invasive facial rejuvenation both as a solitary means and in conjunction with surgical correction. Appropriate facial volumization is dependent on patient characteristics, consistent longitudinal anatomical changes, and qualities of fillers available. In this article, anatomical changes seen with aging are illustrated, appropriate techniques for facial volumization are described in the setting of correct filler selection, and potential complications are addressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A validated scale is needed for objective and reproducible comparisons of temple appearance before and after aesthetic treatment in practice and clinical studies. OBJECTIVE To describe the development and validation of the 5-point photonumeric Allergan Temple Hollowing Scale. METHODS The scale was developed to include an assessment guide, verbal descriptors, morphed images, and real subject images for each grade. The clinical significance of a 1-point score difference was evaluated in a review of image pairs representing varying differences in severity. Interrater and intrarater reliability was evaluated in a live-subject validation study (N = 298) completed during 2 sessions occurring 3 weeks apart. RESULTS A score difference of ≥1 point was shown to reflect a clinically significant difference (mean [95% confidence interval] absolute score difference, 1.1 [0.94-1.26] for clinically different image pairs and 0.67 [0.51-0.83] for not clinically different pairs). Intrarater agreement between the 2 validation sessions was almost perfect (mean weighted kappa = 0.86). Interrater agreement was almost perfect during the second session (0.81, primary endpoint). CONCLUSION The Allergan Temple Hollowing Scale is a validated and reliable scale for physician rating of temple volume deficit.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Botulinum toxin (BTX) and dermal fillers (DFs) are considered as quick and effective non-surgical solutions for enhancing facial appearance. OBJECTIVE To evaluate dentists' knowledge and attitude towards using Botulinum toxin and DFs in dental treatment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. METHODS Five hundred questionnaires were distributed in Riyadh city to government and private sectors to determine awareness and attitude towards using Botulinum toxin and DFs in dental clinics for therapeutic and aesthetics uses. RESULTS Botulinum toxin: A total of 1.2% is practising it. Only 34.8% could recognise its composition. Use of Botulinum toxin in wrinkle reduction was the most reported (73.7%). A total of 81.1% believed that Botulinum toxin has side effects; allergic reaction was the most reported (57.5%). A total of 47.8% reported that higher doses are more toxic, and that males need higher doses than females (10.2%). Dermal fillers: A total of 0.9% is practising it. The most reported type (47.8%) was Fat transfer. Filling of wrinkles was the most reported use (57.8%). A total of 69% believed that DFs has side effects; allergic reaction was the most reported (53.4%). Attitude: A total of 37.8% would like to practise Botulinum toxin/DFs, mostly for aesthetic dental reason. However, 60.2% rejected the idea, mainly due to lack of knowledge and experience (44%). CONCLUSION Limited knowledge regarding Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers is found among dentists in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the long-term results of the treatment of oculofacial asymmetries using a combined injection schedule for injections of hyaluronic acid, with a specific micro cannula and botulinum toxin. METHOD A retrospective study was conducted from January 2009 to January 2010. Patients were treated in the Alcazar Eye Clinic and Oculoplastic Department in Princess Grace Hospital, Monaco. We selected patients complaining of asymmetrical periorbital features who received treatment with hyalurostructure and botulinum toxin injection in one or more sessions. Nine patients were selected and presented with the following symptoms: asymmetry of eyebrow position (2 patients), superior orbital hollow (2 patients), tear trough (2 patients) and orbital volume (ocular prosthesis) (3 patients). The objective was to evaluate the efficiency of combined treatment in one or more sessions on these oculofacial asymmetries. Hyaluronic acid injections were done using hyalurostructure. Hyaluronic acid gel (Restylane Lidocaine) was used with a 25 gauge reinforced micro-cannula (pix'l +, Thiebaud). This was combined with injections of botulinum toxin (azzalure*) to areas of muscular hyperaction. Follow-up was done at 1 year by clinical examination, photography and patient satisfaction. Complications of this combined treatment have been identified. RESULTS At 1-year follow-up, 88% of patients were satisfied or very satisfied with their results. There were no more complications secondary to both treatments in the same session. It was not noticed more hematomas and bruises than in classical injection method. The action of toxin is constant over time despite the association of hyaluronic acid injections. CONCLUSION Combined treatments with toxin and hyaluronic acid in oculofacial asymmetries are efficient and can be proposed in the same session. These treatments must be repeated to maintain and optimize muscle contraction and volume loss. Use of hyalurostructure and botulinum toxin treatment in the same session is effective and safe.
