Association of Dorsal Reduction and Tip Rotation With Social Perception.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Social perception by laypersons of people who have undergone rhinoplasty primarily for cosmetic purposes has not been fully described.

Objective

To evaluate the social perception of patients who have undergone cosmetic rhinoplasty.

Design, setting, and participants

Preoperative images of 4 patients with dorsal hump and tip ptosis were selected using the Delphi method. Computer simulations of dorsal hump reduction and tip rotation, alone or in combination, were performed. Using the Qualtrics internet-based survey platform, laypersons blinded to the purpose of the study viewed randomized original and simulated images and estimated the age, approachability, perceived success, overall health, intelligence, and rated their attractiveness on a visual analog scale
