Abstract

[OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS] The aim of the present study is to assess the long-term effect of classic rhinoplasty on patients' quality of life.

[STUDY DESIGN] Outcomes research.

[METHODS] The study included 100 operated patients; there were 34 males and 66 females. The ages ranged between 23 and 57 years old, with a mean of 36.4 years. A minimum of 3 years between the operation and the study was selected to assess the long-term effect of the operation on the patients' quality of life and exclude any short-term impressions. The time elapsed between surgery and the time of the study ranged from 3 to 13 years, with a mean of 6.8 years. Patients were assessed using the Glasgow Benefit Inventory, which has been proven valid and reliable in ear, nose, and throat interventions.

[RESULTS] From the 100 patients included in the study, 92 reported improvement in their quality of life due to the operation and only eight worsening. In the social support subscale, 97 patients reported better quality of life, and only three patients reported worse quality of life. The patients' overall life markedly improved, reaching a mean of 80% in the Glasgow Benefit Inventory.

[CONCLUSIONS] The present long-term study using a validated and reliable instrument concludes that rhinoplasty improves the quality of life of patients in all sectors.
