Study of the impact of Rhinoplasty on Patient Satisfaction and his respiratory state

Abstract

Background & Aim: To measure patient quality of life after rhinoplasty in regard to nose appearance and function with use of the modern structural and functional surgical approach.

Material  & Methods:We performed a retrospective chart review with prospective follow-up 24 months . All patients with rhinoplasty in the past 5 years by the researcher .we  compare preoperative and postoperative clinical evaluations. Paired t tests were used to evaluate questionnaire scores preoperatively and postoperatively from the nasal obstruction symptom evaluation and rhinoplasty outcome evaluation..

Results:Among 314 patients invited, 113 provided completed questionnaires. Analysis of preoperative and postoperative nasal-obstruction symptom evaluation scores showed a median difference indicating clear improvement (P < .01). Preoperative and postoperative rhinoplasty outcome evaluation scores showed a median difference of indicating improvement (P < .01). Difference in improvement in scores was not significant related for age and gender..

Conclusions:Modern rhinoplasty techniques that depend on a strong structural framework of nasal cartlage  grafts  significantly improve patient quality of life in regard to nose function and appearance..
