Data on image backgrounds, makeup differences, geographic region, and time since surgery were recorded. Face size, rotation, and brightness were objectively compared between pre- and postoperative photos. <b>Results:</b> Among the analyzed posts, 66.3% featured smaller postoperative faces (mean decrease of 3.1%, <i>p</i> < 0.001), and 73.7% of postoperative photos displayed upward facial rotation.

(2) Can symptom improvement be predicted with CFD modeling? <b>Methods:</b> Pre/postoperative Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) and visual analog scale (VAS) score were collected for patients undergoing nasal obstruction surgery. Pre/postoperative computed tomography was used to generate patient-specific airway models for CFD simulation at 15 L/min resting inspiration. <b>Results:</b> Ten patients (22-53 years, seven men and three women) underwent septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and/or rhinoplasty. Postoperative NOSE was most correlated with postoperative VAS score from the \"affected\" side (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.59, <i>p</i> < 0.01), and postoperative NOSE was strongly predicted by a two-parameter model using parameters only from the \"affected\" side (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.84, adjusted <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> = 0.80, <i>p</i> < 0.01). <b>Conclusion:</b> The postoperative state of the initially \"affected\" side drives outcomes after nasal obstruction surgery.
