| (1) Evaluation items and their rationale It is necessary to evaluate the impact of medical makeup on patient psychology from various aspects, and we selected existing reliable evaluation methods for self-denial and self-affirmation as evaluation items. Depression coefficient was adopted as an evaluation item of self-denial. This coefficient is known to show a high value in patients suffering from Visible Difference. Therefore, the effect of medical makeup can be measured by improving the depression coefficient. Self-awareness scale, self-esteem scale, and self-efficacy scale were adopted as scales for evaluating self-affirmation. These are assumed to be low in patients suffering from Visible Diffrence, and if improvement is obtained by medical makeup, it will be possible to measure the effect of supporting the patient's positive feelings. In addition, for cleft lip CLEFT-Q is currently used worldwide and can assess psychological, school, and social function. Currently, the Japanese version is also published, and we have already obtained permission to use it. (2) Evaluation period An important point of view is whether the effect will end in the short term or will extend over the medium to long term. For this reason, we set six months, which is a relatively medium- to long-term period, instead of just before the operation, immediately after the operation, and one month after the operation. | — |

| In this study, the medical makeup treatment background, that is, the makeup artist and the number of treatments cannot be unified. Therefore, the makeup artist and the number of treatments are also evaluated as factors that affect the effect. At the same time, a psychologist who attends the make-up artist conducts descriptive analysis and records the words and actions of the makeup artist during the treatment. In addition, we will examine whether the effect of medical makeup is affected by the research subject's background, and consider the application of appropriate medical makeup. | — |
