“…For subjective outcome assessment, data obtained from the Utrecht Questionnaire (UQ) were used. 6 The UQ is a short, validated, and practical questionnaire to assess changes in subjective perception of nasal appearance in patients before and after rhinoplastic surgery; it is routinely offered to our rhinoplasty patients. The UQ contains a visual analogue scale (VAS) and five simple 5-point Likert scale questions to evaluate subjective body image and quality of life in relation to nasal appearance (Table I).…”

“…Change in subjective body image in relation to nasal appearance and change in nasal airway patency were endpoints for aesthetic and functional success of TIG, respectively. Data were collected before and after surgery using a short, practical questionnaire that we previously validated . The methodology in this study has been previously applied to evaluate the aesthetic and functional success of the “split hump” technique used to correct the over projected nasal dorsum…”

“…A VAS is known to be a quick, reliable, and valid instrument for specific and practical use in a rhinoplasty population. 19,20 It is simple to use, and perhaps most important, is more sensitive to small changes than simple descriptive ordinal scales, which is particularly important to detect differences such as the ones founded in our study.…”

Objective Assess the aesthetic and functional outcomes of the first 100 patients who underwent reduction rhinoplasty with the spare roof technique (SRT). Methods Prospective, interventional, and longitudinal study performed on consecutive patients undergoing primary rhinoplasty by SRT. All the surgical procedures were performed by the surgeon who first described this technique. The validated Portuguese version of the Utrecht Questionnaire for Outcome Assessment in Aesthetic Rhinoplasty was used. Patients completed the questionnaire presurgery and again 3 and 12 months postsurgery. In addition, a visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to score nasal patency for both sides. Results The study population included 100 Caucasian Mediterranean patients (33 males; 67 females). Mean age at surgery was 32.8 years. Analysis of the preoperative and postoperative mean aesthetic VAS scores showed a significant improvement from 3.67 to 8.1 (P < 0.001) and 8.44 (P < 0.001), respectively, 3 and 12 months postsurgery. Analysis of the five aesthetic Likert scale questions all showed a highly significant improvement after rhinoplasty. The mean preoperative aesthetic sum score was 13.9, which improved to 8.26 and 7.08, respectively, 3 and 12 months postsurgery (P < 0.001), indicating a significant improvement of subjective body image in relation to nasal appearance. Analysis of the preoperative and postoperative mean functional VAS score showed a significant improvement on both sides. Conclusion This prospective statistical study confirms that SRT significantly improved patient quality of life regarding nose function and appearance. It is a reliable technique that can help deliver consistently good results in reduction rhinoplasty in Caucasian patients with dorsal hump seeking rhinoplasty.

IMPORTANCE Dermatography (medical tattooing) is often overlooked as an adjuvant procedure to improve color mismatch in the head and neck area, and its effect on patient satisfaction and quality of life has not been evaluated, to our knowledge. OBJECTIVE To analyze the effect of dermatography on the subjective perception of the appearance of scars and skin grafts and the quality of life in head and neck patients.
