Analysis of Determinants of Postoperative Satisfaction After Rhinoplasty

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Objectives/Hypothesis

To analyze different variables that influence postrhinoplasty quality of life outcomes to ascertain the determinants of postoperative satisfaction.

Study Design

Prospective, observational study.

Methods

This was a prospective, observational study where patients were divided into two groups based on the postoperative Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) score: high satisfaction group, when postoperative ROE scores were >50, and low satisfaction group, when postoperative ROE scores were ≤50. Patients' general characteristics, Portuguese version of the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE-p) score, the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Examination, nasal angles, and measures from the esthetic facial analysis of postoperative photographs were compared between the groups.

Results

Seventy-eight patients were included: 19 in the low satisfaction group and 58 in the high satisfaction group. The median reduction in the NOSE-p score was −45 (interquartile range [IIQ] −20 to −60) (P < .001) in the high satisfaction group and −10 (IIQ −10 to −30) in the low satisfaction group (P = .053). The high satisfaction group had a significantly higher reduction in NOSE-p scores. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the analyzed facial parameters, although a significant difference was found when comparing them with the ones established in the literature as a pattern. Previous rhinoplasty, preoperative crooked nose, and higher NOSE-p scores were significantly associated with lower ROE scores (P < .05) in the robust Poisson regression model.

Conclusion

Functional results play an important role in satisfaction after rhinoplasty. Neoclassical canons were not fulfilled even in a group of patients with a high postoperative satisfaction evaluation.
