Abstract
Background: The purpose was to assess the impact of septorhinoplasty on psychopathology and well-being and to demonstrate the effectiveness of septorhinoplasty and emphasize the importance of considering psychopathological status when selecting patients.
Methods: Seventy patients scheduled for septorhinoplasty were evaluated prospectively. Following patient selection, participants were asked to complete a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Beck Depression Inventory, the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation Scale (NOSE), the Short Form-36 (SF-36), and the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation Questionnaire (ROE) preoperatively and at 6 months postoperatively.
Results: The mean age in the study was calculated as 26.14 Å} 6.80. The postoperative NOSE and BAI scores of the patients decrease, while ROE score increases (P < .05). An increase in physical role, physical function, general health, and social functioning scores was also found in SF-36 subscales (P < .05). There was an inverse correlation between preoperative depression levels and postoperative satisfaction.
Conclusion: Septorhinoplasty has a positive effect on quality of life and anxiety. When selecting a patient, attention should be paid to the level of depression.
