Abstract

Objective: Psychiatric suitability is an important parameter that is evaluated together with anatomical suitability when deciding on rhinoplasty surgery. There is no matter how successful the treatment or surgery is, the results are not satisfactory in individuals with psychiatric symptoms. In order to make a broader assessment to determine psychiatric suitability, we aimed to evaluate the body perception, disability, depression and social phobia in individuals who applied for rhinoplasty surgery.

Method: In this study, patients were planned to be included who applied to …………………… University Hospital Otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic between 1/1/2019 - 1/1/2020. Among the patients, 50 volunteers who applied with the complaints of dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of the nose and underwent septorhinoplasty were included in the case group. In the control group, 50 patients who applied to the Otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic and had any complaints other than nasal deformity and were not planned for aesthetic any other operation were included.

Results: There was no statistically significant difference found in terms of body image, disability, depression and social phobia.

Conclusion: It has been confirmed that depression and body image do not show significant changes in patients who will undergo septorhinoplasty, and the information that disability and social phobia are not effective has been brought to the literature. Further studies with larger samples are needed on preoperative psychiatric evaluation.
