A Retrospective Analysis of Patient Satisfaction With a Graft-Based Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Procedure Using a Modified Surgical Rhinoplasty Module

Le résumé fourni par la source

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as liquid or injection rhinoplasty, utilizes hyaluronic acid-based fillers to offer a minimally invasive alternative to surgical rhinoplasty. Patient goals for injection rhinoplasty include improving various aspects of their nose, including the bridge of the nose, tip of the nose, shape of the nose in profile, and how well the nose suits the face. The purpose of this study is to use a modified surgical rhinoplasty questionnaire to analyze patient satisfaction and adverse complication rates of the authors' non-surgical injection rhinoplasty technique using a hyaluronic acid-based filler. A retrospective data analysis of 56 patients who had received a graft-based non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure between January 2019 and December 2019 was conducted. All procedures were performed at a single center by the primary investigator. Participants completed a questionnaire to assess for preoperative and postoperative satisfaction with their nose using a visual analog scale and modified "FACE-Q" module. Two-tailed paired t-tests and confidence intervals were calculated using bootstrapping/resampling techniques. Visual analog scale results depict a paired median difference of 4, yielding a P-value of 0.00001. Results illustrate that using a graft-based non-surgical rhinoplasty technique presents a promising alternative to surgical rhinoplasty that significantly improves patient satisfaction with their nose while ensuring minimal complication rates. Over 98% of patients indicated feeling "somewhat" or "very likely" to repeat the procedure. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(1):1292-1296. doi:10.36849/JDD.7073.
