Background:
Patient satisfaction with rhinoplasty results is evaluated in a manner of subjective and qualitative values, and to a certain degree, it can indicate successful outcomes in rhinoplasty.
Methods:
The present study was a descriptive study that assessed the rhinoplasty outcome of adult patients who underwent septorhinoplasty between January 2015 and August 2023 at a single center in Saudi Arabia utilizing Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation scores and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scores pre-operatively, postoperatively, and postoperatively with showing the patients their photo before surgery.
Results:
The comparison of Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation scores and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scores showed statistically significant with P value of 0.000 when comparing these scores pre-operatively, postoperatively, and postoperatively with showing the patient their photos before surgery.
Conclusion:
Presenting patients with pre-operative images may help them recognize changes in their clinical appearance and, consequently, score higher on the postoperative satisfaction scale. It can help the surgeon to increase patient satisfaction postoperatively.
