title: [Methodical approach to studying quality life of patients which underwent plastic operation].
abstract: The obtained results of the study are based on observation of life quality of 98 patients which have undergone traditional and combined operation. The article presents quality life indices of healthy subjects and those operated. Traditionally operated patients were established to have lower quality life indices in 6 years after the operation provided in comparison with healthy subjects. It is explained by not-long lasting cosmetic effect of the face-lifting. Combined cosmetic operation was characterized by considerably higher quality life indices reflecting physical activity as well as social and role-emotional life. These data assure that efficiency of combined operation is higher than a traditional one.
