Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Pharmacology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Rhinoplasty is a common surgical procedure.
  • Postoperative swelling and bruising are common concerns.
  • The psychological impact of rhinoplasty and its recovery is an area of interest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the psychological effects of single-dose corticosteroids in rhinoplasty patients.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone in reducing postoperative edema and ecchymosis.
  • To determine the safety and impact of perioperative dexamethasone on patient well-being.

Main Methods:

  • 30 rhinoplasty patients were randomized into two groups.
  • One group received intravenous dexamethasone 10 mg preoperatively; the control group did not.

  • Psychological assessments (Bech Rafaelsen Mania Scale, Beck Depression Inventory) and physical evaluations (edema, ecchymosis) were performed pre- and postoperatively.

    • Main Results:

    • Dexamethasone did not cause euphoria or depression, with no significant psychological differences between groups.
    • A single dose of dexamethasone significantly reduced periorbital edema for two days and upper eyelid ecchymosis for one day.
    • No significant effect was observed on lower eyelid ecchymosis with dexamethasone administration.

    Conclusions:

    • Single-dose dexamethasone (10 mg) can be safely administered to rhinoplasty patients.
    • Dexamethasone effectively reduces periorbital edema and ecchymosis following rhinoplasty.
    • The psychological well-being of patients is not adversely affected by this perioperative steroid treatment.
