Personality traits and general health significantly influence rhinoplasty decisions and satisfaction. Higher neuroticism and anxiety decrease surgery likelihood, while neuroticism negatively impacts post-operative satisfaction, highlighting the need for psychological screening.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Psychology
- Health Sciences
Background:
- Cosmetic surgery satisfaction is influenced by expectations and potential complications.
- Understanding the psychological factors behind rhinoplasty decisions is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between personality patterns and general health in rhinoplasty applicants.
- To determine the impact of these factors on post-operative satisfaction.
Main Methods:
- Cross-sectional study comparing 57 rhinoplasty applicants with 57 matched controls.
- Utilized General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) and NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI).
- Analyzed data using SPSS.24 with a significance level of 0.05.
Main Results:
- Increased agreeableness decreased rhinoplasty odds (OR: 0.741), while neuroticism (OR: 1.523) and extraversion (OR: 1.291) increased them.
- Higher neuroticism was associated with significantly lower rhinoplasty satisfaction (P < 0.001).
- Anxiety also decreased the odds of undergoing rhinoplasty (OR: 0.823).
Conclusions:
- Personality dimensions and general health status significantly affect the propensity for rhinoplasty.
- Pre-operative psychological assessment and psychiatric consultations are recommended to prevent unnecessary surgeries.
