Abstract
Rhinoplasty is a common aesthetic procedure that has been carried out for a long time and becoming popular all around the world. Rhinoplasty occupies a great percentage in the field of facial aesthetic surgery. Health-related quality of life is another popular issue that has not been studied enough. There are a lot of studies about rhinoplasty including technical details, pre-selection criteria and psychological evaluations, but there is little data about health-related quality of life after rhinoplasty. There's a general lack of well-controlled research about the psycho-social outcomes of aesthetic procedures in otola-ryngology. Today, especially in modern medicine, it has been getting more important to evaluate the benefit of any surgical procedure. There is little data about Health-Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL) after those operations.
The aim of this review article is to discuss the health-related quality of life after rhinoplasty with the help of literature.
