Patients with nasal deformity undergoing rhinoplasty do not experience more interpersonal relationship difficulties than those undergoing septoplasty. This suggests that improved interpersonal function is not a primary driver for seeking rhinoplasty surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Psychology
  • Social Science

Background:

  • Facial plastic surgery outcomes are linked to psychological well-being and improved self-perception.
  • Negative body image, particularly concerning nasal deformity, may impact interpersonal relationships.
  • The role of interpersonal relationship challenges in the decision for rhinoplasty requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether patients with nasal deformity report more difficulties in interpersonal relationships compared to those without.
  • To test the hypothesis that preoperative negative body image associated with nasal deformity leads to interpersonal relationship problems.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective trial comparing 27 rhinoplasty patients (with nasal deformity) and 16 septoplasty patients (control group, without nasal deformity).

  • Utilized the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-32 (IIP-32) to assess interpersonal relationship difficulties.
  • Statistical analysis to compare IIP-32 scores between the two groups.

    • Main Results:

    • The study found no statistically significant difference in interpersonal relationship difficulties between rhinoplasty and septoplasty patients.
    • The null hypothesis, stating both groups originate from the same population regarding interpersonal problems, could not be rejected (total mean score 0.753).
    • Patients with nasal deformity did not exhibit greater challenges in their interpersonal relationships.

    Conclusions:

    • Nasal deformity does not appear to be associated with increased interpersonal relationship difficulties.
    • Interpersonal relationship issues may not be a primary justification for undergoing rhinoplasty surgery.
    • The psychological benefits of rhinoplasty may stem from enhanced self-perception rather than improved social interactions.
