Area of Science:

Psychology

Medical Aesthetics

Background:

Cosmetic surgery, including rhinoplasty, can lead to unexpected psychological reactions post-operation.
Post-rhinoplasty depression is a recognized adverse psychological outcome following cosmetic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and evaluate the occurrence of postoperative depression in psychologically stable patients after rhinoplasty.
To improve understanding of mood and psychological changes in patients undergoing rhinoplasty.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of existing literature.
Focus on patients who underwent rhinoplasty and were psychologically stable pre-operatively.

Main Results:

Successful rhinoplasty outcomes do not always guarantee patient satisfaction or prevent depression.
Preoperative psychological assessments may not reliably predict postoperative mood changes.
Patients may experience depression despite positive surgical results.

Conclusions:

Cosmetic surgeons must be prepared to manage adverse psychological responses like depression.
Effective patient counseling and clear expectation management are crucial for candidate selection.
Proactive psychological support can help mitigate post-rhinoplasty depression and anxiety.
