title: Evaluating patient satisfaction with the face lift, eyelid operation, or both.
abstract: A sampling of the many relationships that were investigated is presented. The study was intended to be descriptive or observational rather than inferential. The data represent a sample of a surgeon's patients who had had the face lift and/or eyelid operation. Hence, perhaps, the major limitation of the study is that all conclusions pertain to only such patients. Although experience and intuition may lead one to suspect that similar results would likely be obtained from a random sampling of similar patients of other plastic surgeons, such inferences cannot be made until further large-scale research is undertaken. In the interim, enough information has been gleaned from the present investigation to permit more effective treatment of future patients-both pre- and postoperatively.
