They were asked to fill out the Big Five Inventory (abbreviated version), social psychological factors questionnaire before surgery, and the surgical satisfaction scale 2 weeks after surgery. According to the results of surgical satisfaction, they were divided into satisfied group and dissatisfied group. The distribution of personality characteristics and social psychological factors was analyzed, univariate analysis and logistic multiple regression were used to analyze the personality characteristics and social psychological factors affecting the satisfaction result.Results:There were 217 cases, including 9 males and 208 females, aged 18-45 years old with an average age of 26 years old. According to the operation satisfaction survey, 174 cases were satisfied and 43 cases were dissatisfied. Among the personality characteristics of 217 cases, low agreeableness, high responsibility, high extraversion, low openness, and high neuroticism accounted for the majority; there were statistically significant differences in agreeableness, extraversion, openness, and neuroticism between the satisfied group and the dissatisfied group( P<0.05); but in the comparison of responsibility, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Among the psychosocial factors of 217 cases, female, aged 18-28 years, with a bachelor’s degree or above, a vocational student or employee, urban registered residence, with a medium income, with a history of plastic surgery, following the doctor’s advice, moderate expectation, surgery suggestion with family members account for the majority; the results of univariate analysis show that the satisfied group and the dissatisfied group were compared in terms of age, education level, monthly income, surgical cost, previous plastic surgery history, and expected effect, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); however, there was no statistically significant difference in gender, marital status, occupation, nature of household registration, choice of surgery, surgery recommended by family members, and consultation in multiple hospitals ( P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that low agreeableness, low extraversion, high neuroticism, low age, high education level, and high expectation were independent risk factors affecting the surgical satisfaction( P<0.05). Conclusion:Personality characteristics (low agreeableness, low extraversion, high neuroticism) and social psychological factors (low age, high education level, high expectation) are independent risk factors of surgical satisfaction in people undergoing facial cosmetic surgery.
