Abstract
Feminizing rhinoplasty, as part of facial feminization surgery (FFS), aims to align nasal appearance with gender identity. While nasal obstruction is a known complication of rhinoplasty, its impact on feminizing rhinoplasty is unclear.This study investigates if feminizing rhinoplasty causes nasal obstruction secondary to structural modifications.Prospective cohort study.IRB-approved study included males and females undergoing cosmetic rhinoplasty and transgender females undergoing feminizing rhinoplasty at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Nasal obstruction was assessed using the nasal obstruction and symptom evaluation (NOSE) survey preoperatively and 3-, 6-, and 12-months postoperatively, analyzed with a t-test.NOSE scores significantly decreased in all groups, with transgender females showing a 78, 84, and 77% reduction at 3-, 6-, and 12-months. No significant difference was found between cosmetic rhinoplasty and FFS groups postoperatively.Decreases in average NOSE scores across groups suggest that feminizing rhinoplasty does not worsen nasal obstruction and may improve functional outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Facial Plastic Surgery is a journal that publishes topic-specific issues covering areas of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery as it relates to the head, neck, and face. The journal''s scope includes issues devoted to scar revision, periorbital and mid-face rejuvenation, facial trauma, facial implants, rhinoplasty, neck reconstruction, cleft palate, face lifts, as well as various other emerging minimally invasive procedures.
Authors provide a global perspective on each topic, critically evaluate recent works in the field, and apply it to clinical practice.
