The nose is one of the most prominent parts of the face and plays a significant role in peoples' self-satisfaction as well as quality of life. Rhinoplasty is considered as one of the most numerous and delicate cosmetic surgeries all around the world that can be performed for functional issues, esthetic issues, or both. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the dissatisfaction of patients who had undergone rhinoplasty surgery and inform the surgeons to improve the surgical techniques to prevent probable future complaints.
This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to report various aspects of dissatisfaction of patients following rhinoplasty. All available files in the Fars Forensic Medicine Department between 2011 and 2020 were reviewed, and the required information was extracted.
Out of 117 patients, 68.4% were females and 31.6% were males. Most of the patients were in the age range of 30-34 years. In terms of educational attainment, the highest frequency is associated with academically educated patients and the lowest with a diploma. The majority of cases filed for litigation less than 6 months after their rhinoplasty. The first rank among the factors of dissatisfaction with surgeries belonged to "respiratory problems" (36.8%) followed by "dissatisfaction with the general shape of the nose" (34.2%).
Our study shows that middle-aged female patients may be more difficult to satisfy. In general, at younger ages, patients complain about esthetics, and with aging, most patients feel dissatisfied with nasal function.
鼻子是面部最突出的部位之一，在人们的自我满意度和生活质量方面起着重要作用。隆鼻术被认为是全球开展数量最多且精细的整形手术之一，可用于解决功能问题、美学问题或两者兼顾。在本研究中，我们旨在评估接受隆鼻手术患者的不满之处，并告知外科医生改进手术技术，以预防未来可能出现的投诉。
本回顾性横断面研究旨在报告隆鼻术后患者不满的各个方面。对2011年至2020年法尔斯法医部门所有可用档案进行了审查，并提取了所需信息。
在117名患者中，68.4%为女性，31.6%为男性。大多数患者年龄在30 - 34岁之间。在教育程度方面，学历最高的患者投诉频率最高，文凭学历的患者投诉频率最低。大多数诉讼案件是在隆鼻术后不到6个月提起的。手术不满因素中，“呼吸问题”占首位（36.8%），其次是“对鼻子整体形状不满意”（34.2%）。
我们的研究表明，中年女性患者可能更难满足。一般来说，年轻时患者抱怨美学问题，随着年龄增长，大多数患者对鼻腔功能感到不满。
