What is it about?

We aimed to investigate the relationship between the number of visits to different physicians and postoperative satisfaction in patients undergoing primary septorhinoplasty by using the ROE survey.

Why is it important?

Patient selection is as important as the ability and experience of the surgeon, that surgeons may not have enough time and training for patient selection, and that patient selection is important for both surgeons’ and patients’ postoperative satisfaction in all esthetic operations, especially in rhinoplasty. We think we have obtained practical knowledge that will help to guide surgeons. It is a very simple, but not the only determinant way to patients that might be problematic after surgery. But it is appropriate for patients who visit many surgeons to be evaluated more carefully and psychologically examined.

Perspectives

We think that it is more appropriate for patients who visit many surgeons to be evaluated more carefully and to be psychologically examined.
