Meeting the psychological needs of patients with facial disfigurement
Abstract
Those with congenital or acquired disfigurement are faced with the challenges of social reactions and their own psychological responses to looking different. There is no simple linear relation between the degree of disfigurement and the degree of experienced distress. Factors that influence an individual's ability to cope include the social meaning of the disfigurement, life history, social and family support, and developmental stage. Decision-making about surgery, including that for those seeking aesthetic surgery, should take account of these complex factors to understand the patient's needs, ensure informed consent, and avoid unnecessary or ill-timed surgery. All those working with patients with disfigurement should have an understanding of their psychosocial needs, and there should be access to an identified member of staff such as a clinical nurse specialist with counselling skills, and a recognised referral route to a psychologist or liaison psychiatrist.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
