Current rhinoplasty trends favor structural and preservation techniques for improved patient safety and functional outcomes. A global safety culture requires empathy and collaboration, not just standardized operative methods.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Otolaryngology
- Aesthetic Medicine
Background:
- Rhinoplasty practices are evolving globally.
- Emphasis is shifting towards patient safety and functional preservation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an integrated, evidence-based overview of contemporary rhinoplasty.
- Highlighting patient safety, functional outcomes, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Main Methods:
- Literature review (2019-2025) including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and ISAPS documents.
- Analysis of pre-, intra-, and postoperative phases for safety and satisfaction links.
Main Results:
- Shift from reductive to structural/preservation rhinoplasty techniques observed.
- Evidence supports team planning, psychological screening, and standardized protocols for complication reduction.
- Technological advancements enhance predictability and surgical training, yet technique variability persists.
Conclusions:
- Rhinoplasty must balance esthetic goals with nasal function and ethical considerations.
- A global safety culture necessitates empathy, collaboration, and surgeon mediation.
- Focus on standardized perioperative workflows and outcome assessment is crucial.
