Although the psychological aspects of rhinoplasty have been fully investigated in the medical literature, the religiosity of rhinoplasty candidates has not been taken into consideration.
In this cross-sectional study, the religious attitudes of 157 rhinoplasty candidates were compared with those of 74 subjects who had not requested rhinoplasty. A domestic validated reliable questionnaire was completed by all subjects to classify them with respect to religious attitude. Other factors such as age, sex and economic and educational status were also taken into consideration. From the surgeon's perspective, subjects were put into three categories: subjects who had a relative indication for rhinoplasty (Category.1), subjects with a well-defined nose based on accepted standards of facial aesthetic analysis (Category.2) and finally subjects with a severely deformed nose, such as deviated nose or nasal cleft lip deformity (Category.3).
The mean age among subjects was 28.63 ± 7.05 years, and the majority were female (87%). The two groups of participants (those who did and did not express a desire for rhinoplasty) were analyzed from the point view of age, sex, economic and educational status. The economic and educational status of the two groups did not differ significantly (P>0.05). The religious score showed a significant difference between those who were interested in rhinoplasty (122.75±23.49) and those were not interested (138.78±21.85; P<0.001).
Religion may affect a patient's decision to undergo rhinoplasty surgery, such that persons with a higher religious attitude tend to undertake it less often. However, individuals with major nasal deformities tend to decide undertake the surgery, irrespective of religious beliefs.
尽管隆鼻手术的心理方面在医学文献中已得到充分研究，但隆鼻手术候选人的宗教信仰尚未得到考虑。
在这项横断面研究中，将157名隆鼻手术候选人的宗教态度与74名未要求进行隆鼻手术的受试者的宗教态度进行了比较。所有受试者均完成了一份经国内验证的可靠问卷，以根据宗教态度对他们进行分类。还考虑了年龄、性别以及经济和教育状况等其他因素。从外科医生的角度来看，受试者被分为三类：有隆鼻相对适应症的受试者（第1类）、根据面部美学分析公认标准鼻子形态良好的受试者（第2类），最后是鼻子严重畸形的受试者，如鼻偏曲或鼻唇裂畸形（第3类）。
受试者的平均年龄为28.63±7.05岁，大多数为女性（87%）。从年龄、性别、经济和教育状况的角度对两组参与者（有和没有隆鼻意愿的人）进行了分析。两组的经济和教育状况没有显著差异（P>0.05）。宗教得分在对隆鼻感兴趣的人（122.75±23.49）和不感兴趣的人（138.78±21.85；P<0.0o1）之间存在显著差异。
宗教可能会影响患者接受隆鼻手术的决定，宗教态度较高的人往往较少接受该手术。然而，无论宗教信仰如何，有严重鼻畸形的个体往往倾向于决定接受手术。
