Objectives:
The aim of this study was to translate the FACE-Q "Rhinoplasty" module into French and validate its use for the French-speaking population.
Design:
"Satisfaction with the nose" and "Satisfaction with nostrils" questionnaires were used and translated.
Settings:
We were granted permission to use the FACE-Q rhinoplasty module by the development team. These two questionnaires constitute the rhinoplasty module of the FACE-Q questionnaire. ISPOR and WHO recommendations were used to complete the translation process from English into French in six steps.
Main Outcome Measurement:
Our goal was to obtain, not a literal translation, but rather a translation of the idea or concept.
Results:
Each step allowed us to make changes to achieve a conceptual translation equivalent to the original version.
Conclusion:
The FACE-Q questionnaire is a reference in the field of cosmetic surgery outcome evaluation. The use of two validated translation recommendations, with a six-step translation-back translation process, leads to a French version corresponding to the original. This version is usable in a French-speaking population.
