Abstract

Objective: This research aims to determine the Outcome of Patients Undergoing Nasal Plastic Surgery in KSA.

Methods: This study will employ a cross-sectional design to assess the outcomes of patients who have undergone nasal plastic surgery (rhinoplasty) in Saudi Arabia. The study will collect data from patients at a single time to evaluate their post-surgical satisfaction, complications, and quality of life.

Results: The study included 290 participants. The study included 290 participants. The most frequent gender among them was female (n= 196, 58.2%) and male (n= 121, 41.7%).  The most frequent age among study participants was 36-40 years (n= 84, 29%) followed by 25-30 years (n= 64, 22.1%) then more than 40 years and 31-35 years (n=48,16.6%) at least less than 25 years (n=38, 13.1%). The most frequent marital status among study participants was married (n= 129, 44.4%), followed by divorced (n= 87, 30%%), then single (n=87,18.9%).  The participants were asked if they had the surgery, participants most of them didn’t. Their answers were no (n=181, 62.4%) and yes (n=109, 37.5%).  The participants were asked about the reason for undergoing rhinoplasty. The responses were the most frequent reason was for beauty (n=170, 58.6%), followed by insisting on friends and family (n=66, 22.8%), then to show off (n=29, 10%), other reasons (n=15, 5.2%) and to catch up with the mode (n=10, 3.4%).

Conclusion: This study reveals that rhinoplasty is a prevalent procedure in Saudi Arabia, primarily driven by patients' desire for aesthetic enhancement. These results emphasize the importance of thorough medical evaluations and psychological consultations before surgery to ensure alignment between expectations and potential outcomes.
