Post-rhinoplasty acne is common, particularly in younger patients. Psychological stress appears to be a significant factor, suggesting the need for mental health support to improve surgical outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Plastic Surgery
- Psychology
Background:
- Acne is a frequent concern for patients undergoing rhinoplasty.
- Rhinoplasty impacts appearance, making acne a significant post-operative issue.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the incidence of acne after rhinoplasty.
- To identify potential contributing factors to post-rhinoplasty acne.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 152 rhinoplasty patients.
- Dermatological assessment using the Global Acne Grading System.
- Evaluation of psychological status via stress and anxiety/depression scales.
Main Results:
- Acne incidence varied post-surgery: 36.1% (7 days), 42.8% (30 days), 23% (90 days).
- Acne developed in 14.9% of patients without prior acne history.
- Higher stress and anxiety/depression levels correlated with post-surgical acne.
Conclusions:
- Psychological stress is a key factor in post-rhinoplasty acne development.
- Referral to psychologists is recommended for better patient outcomes and reduced complications.
