At 6 months, 91.7% of patients reported satisfaction with cosmetic outcomes after facial injury treatment.
The satisfied group had significantly higher Visual Analog Scale scores (8.65) compared to unsatisfied patients (7.20).
Logistic regression identified adherence to silicone therapy and lower Vancouver Scar Scale scores as predictors of patient satisfaction.
This cohort study suggests cosmetic suturing may improve aesthetic outcomes in rural Chinese hospitals but has limitations in sample size and follow-up.
