“…[59][60][61][62][63] This inventory measures the change in psychological, social, and physical well-being produced by surgical interventions 64 and could be a useful tool in future research. To define patients' expectations and their feasibility, there is a high need of a preoperative questionnaire to measure patients' expectations concerning the surgical and social outcome.…”

This review indicates the possible demographic and psychosocial predictors for an unsatisfactory outcome of facial cosmetic surgery. A brief personality assessment tool that could be used to address predictors preoperatively was not found. The authors suggest use of the Glasgow Benefit Inventory to assess patient satisfaction postoperatively. Further research is being undertaken to develop such an instrument.

“…These papers discuss the effectiveness of the various elements of computer imaging simulations in rhinoplasty, including patients' satisfaction, confidence, and expectations, accuracy of preoperative manipulations compared with postoperative results, medico-legal implications of equipment, and limitations. [3][4][5][6] Despite all benefits, morphing has not yet been fully incorporated into routine rhinoplasty practice. Dissenting perspectives focus on the additional time required, complexity of imaging software, and the potential exposure to increased medico-legal risk.…”

Evolution of Preoperative Rhinoplasty Consult by Computer Imaging

et al. 2016

The preoperative consultation in rhinoplasty involves a multitude of actions that are mandatory for the decision-making process: history taking with attention to the symptoms and specific requests of the patient, clinical evaluation of the aesthetics, the functional status of the nose and the patients' motivation for surgery, and acquisition of standardized preoperative photographs. During the last decade, computer imaging or morphing of the preoperative pictures of the nose has become much more common. This part of the consultation allows the surgeon and patient to reach a mutually agreeable set of expectations by demonstrating the planned outcome of rhinoplasty and describing the objectives of surgery. The evolving literature on computer imaging supports that the benefits for both the patients and surgeons seem to outweigh the risks. Indeed, morphing enables the surgeon to precisely explain to the patients the goal of surgery, and to postpone or even cancel surgery in the group of patients that do not appear satisfied with the proposed changes. In addition, patients may feel more prepared for surgery and have a more realistic view of the outcome of the intervention. Presently, computer imaging is progressing from 2D to 3D models, optimizing the surgeons' capacity to perform morphing in the most advantageous manner for both parties. The current review provides a state-of-the art analysis on morphing in rhinoplasty, putting morphing into a historic and relevant perspective in clinical practice.

“…In the exclusively aesthetic group, there was a 152.7 mean difference. Finally, Sharp et al 20 also reported a successful outcome in rhinoplasty patients. However, their patients were also not a homogenous group, as they had undergone aesthetic 6 functional rhinoplasty.…”
