Objective: To assess patients’ satisfaction about cosmetic and functional outcomes of uncomplicated rhinoplasty and the
consequent psychological impact.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study carried out among patients aged ≥20 years, who underwent primary functional and/
or cosmetic rhino plastic surgery at Al-Mashfa Hospital, Jeddah before January 2015 (1 year of postoperative follow-up). A
total 200 patients were randomly selected from the hospital database and contacted for an anonymous telephone interview
using a validated, semi-structured questionnaire investigating 7 postoperative satisfaction parameters. e questionnaire was
completed by 3 additional items scoring from 0-100, the overall nose function, appearance and patients’ mood before and a er
rhinoplasty; answers were analyzed as continuous variables
Results: We included patients who underwent functional (13.5%), cosmetic (20.5%) or both functional and cosmetic (66.0%)
rhinoplasty. Satisfaction parameters showed highest satisfaction score for nose breathing followed by family and friends’
satisfaction about nose appearance, while willingness to change appearance through a new surgery had the lowest satisfaction
score as 51.0% of the patients answered that they will undergo a new rhinoplasty for that purpose. Female, divorced and
unemployed patients had lower scores regarding satisfaction parameters, respectively, while no di erence was observed by
indication or educational level. Linear regression showed positive correlation of change in mood with both change in nose
function and appearance.
Conclusions: Patients who underwent primary uncomplicated rhinoplasty have fair satisfaction about functional long-term
outcomes but remain relatively dissatis ed esthetically especially female, divorced and unemployed patients. e extent of
functional and cosmetic improvements has positive impact on the patient’s mood.
