Predicting Patient Satisfaction with Bimaxillary Surgery Outcomes: A Functional MRI Study of Neural Responses to Self-Images
Distinct neural activation patterns were observed when viewing preoperative and postoperative self-images, suggesting that fMRI could serve as a potential tool for predicting patient satisfaction with surgical outcomes. The activated brain regions may represent sites of esthetic satisfaction, aligning with patients' self-reported satisfaction levels.
