“…Perhaps more important is the advent of audiovisual communication that may help detect those who will not be satisfied. While overall satisfaction in this study is comparable to other studies [1,4] This study suggests that male patients are more difficult to please than female patients. The younger the male patient, the greater the likelihood that he may be dissatisfied with his surgery.…”

This retrospect study was conducted to evaluate patients satisfaction following rhinoplasty. Of the 1,062 patients who had undergone rhinoplasty and received a questionnaire, there were 468 respondents. They rated satisfaction with aesthetic and functional results of the surgery. Four groups were created: Group I comprised all the respondents: 468 patients of which there were 381 (81.4%) females and 87 (18.6%) males; 6.2% of this group was dissatisfied. Group II [373 patients: 301 (80.7%) female and 72 (19.3%) male] was composed of patients who underwent a primary rhinoplasty by the lead author, with or without revision of which 7.5% was not satisfied. Group III [95 patients: 80 (84.2%) female and 15 (15.8%) male] comprised those who underwent the initial rhinoplasty by another surgeon and the secondary procedure by the lead author. The surgery failed to satisfy only 1.1% of this group. Group IV [86 patients: 78 (90.7%) female and 8 (9.3%) male male] underwent initial surgery by the lead author and then required revision surgery. This group exhibited the highest dissatisfaction level (13.6%). This article analyzes the results of the questionnaire in detail. In summary, the percentage of dissatisfied patients in the total population was higher among male patients (12.8%) than among female patients (4.6%).

These traits had in close relationship with the high level of preoperative anxiety in the patients.…”
