  • Patient-reported outcomes measured using FACE-Q Skin Cancer module at least one year postoperatively.
  • High satisfaction levels were observed across all reconstruction techniques regarding scar appraisal and facial appearance.
  • Significant difference in 'Cancer Worry' (p = 0.008), with skin graft patients exhibiting higher anxiety about recurrence.
