Normative Values for Adolescent Quality of Life in Plastic Surgery: A Longitudinal, Cohort Study

Conclusions: Adolescence is a challenging time, on which plastic surgery-related concerns are superimposed. Our findings suggest that girls may be more at risk for developing psychosocial deficits that worsen over adolescence and young adulthood. This observation is critical for the interpretation and contextualization of health-related quality of life in adolescent plastic surgery patients.
