Rhinoplasty also popularly known among people as plastic surgery performed on nose.it is the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures for both functional and aesthetic purposes according to the statistics of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons [1]. This study is aimed to investigate the changes in the psychological impact of rhinoplasty on day-to-day life & on quality of life after the rhinoplasty surgery.

This study contained a total of 19 (15 men and 4 women) between 16 and 35 years old (mean, 24.8). The study used ROE questionnaire, a simple, reliable, validated, and widely used inventory. For statistical analysis, paired Student’s t test and the Mann-Whitney test were applied. Student’s t test was used to compare preoperative and postoperative scores.

The scores of both the cosmetic and the post-traumatic patients were significantly improved by rhinoplasty (p < 0.0001). There was no significant difference when the authors compared the improvement scores of subgroups ranged by age, sex, primary versus secondary rhinoplasty, time between first consultation and surgery, posttraumatic versus non–posttraumatic patients, and functional versus nonfunctional indications.

With rhinoplasty being one of the most complex aesthetic procedures, it is crucial to measure outcomes from the patient’s perspective to determine surgical success. Rhinoplasty is a beneficial procedure since the majority of patients showed greater satisfaction with appearance, treatment outcome, and quality-of-life postoperatively. These factors can be used during pre- operative management of outcome expectations.
