Posteriorly, in depth interviews and focus groups with plastic surgeons and patients subjected to plastic surgery procedures were performed. With this information, a conceptual framework was established to devise the instrument. Results: Sixteen patients and five plastic surgeons participated in the interviews and focus groups.
