Abstract

Objective

Presenting evidence available on perioperative isotretinoin application in, and benefits for, thick-skinned patients subjected to rhinoplasty.

Methods

Analysis was applied to articles available in the following databases: Cochrane, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scielo. The analyzed corpus comprised studies published from 2004 to 2023 focused on investigating thick-skinned patients subjected to rhinoplasty and treated with isotretinoin. Inappropriate and unrelated methodologies were excluded from the analysis.

Results

Initially, 1,214 articles were collected, but this number dropped to 617 after duplicates’ removal. Twenty (20) articles remained in the corpus after inclusion criteria application, but 10 of them were excluded from the analysis based on exclusion criteria. Finally, 10 articles were selected for review purposes: 1 experience report, 2 case studies, 3 narrative reviews and 4 clinical trials.

Conclusions

The current findings suggested aesthetic improvements in patients treated with isotretinoin, although its long-term benefits remain uncertain. Thus, further research on this topic should be conducted.

期刊介绍： Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology publishes original contributions in otolaryngology and the associated areas (cranio-maxillo-facial surgery and phoniatrics). The aim of this journal is the national and international divulgation of the scientific production interesting to the otolaryngology, as well as the discussion, in editorials, of subjects of scientific, academic and professional relevance. The Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology is born from the Revista Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia, of which it is the English version, created and indexed by MEDLINE in 2005. It is the official scientific publication of the Brazilian Association of Otolaryngology and Cervicofacial Surgery. Its abbreviated title is Braz J Otorhinolaryngol., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
