Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18 years), French-speaking, who had excision of nasal skin cancer followed by surgical reconstruction with a flap or prosthetic rehabilitation between 4 months and 3 years ago and who can give informed consent are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Non-French-speaking patients, those with surgery less than 4 months or more than 3 years ago, patients under anticoagulant/antiplatelet therapy, those under legal protection or with limited capacity, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and patients unlikely to cooperate are not expected to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This non-interventional, multicenter project will translate and culturally adapt selected FACE-Q Aesthetics scales into French and then collect patient-reported responses to test reliability and validity. Adults who had nasal excision for skin cancer followed by reconstructive flap surgery or prosthetic rehabilitation between 4 months and 3 years prior will complete the questionnaires at participating centers. A control group of older adults without prior facial surgery will provide comparative normative data. The goal is to produce a standardized French-language instrument that reliably measures appearance, psychosocial well-being, social function, satisfaction with outcomes, and procedure-related adverse effects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, clinicians and researchers will have a reliable French tool to measure patient satisfaction and quality of life after nasal reconstruction, improving follow-up care and enabling standardized comparisons across studies.
How similar studies have gone: FACE-Q instruments have been successfully translated and validated in other languages and aesthetic/reconstructive settings, so this French nasal reconstruction adaptation follows an established and previously successful approach.
