This study aims to determine patient forehead aesthetics satisfaction after conservative treatment of non-dislocated and dislocated anterior wall frontal sinus fractures. Prospectively, patients older than 15 years age with a fracture, treated conservatively between the period 2010–2020, were analysed. The Face-Q questionnaire was used assess satisfaction, fracture dimensional properties measured using computed tomography. results compared matched non-fractured control group. mean total score 114.77 (SD = 17.38) versus 114.23 15.23) (research-versus group, respectively), difference 0.55 4.85), which not significant (p 0.91). size impression area did appear have linear relationship within entire population 0.87; r 0.00).
