Abstract Purpose The aim of this study is to review the aesthetic and functional outcomes of septorhinoplasty using questionnaires that have never been collectively used, as well as surgeons’ evaluation. Materials and methods Our study was conducted prospectively among 100 patients who underwent septorhinoplasty operation. We evaluated the effects of septorhinoplasty’s functional and aesthetic outcomes on patients’ emotional status using a combination of NOSE, ROE, DAS-24, and GBI questionnaires as well as surgeons’ evaluations. Results Our study did not detect any significant difference between preoperative and postoperative levels of patient satisfaction with regard to age, sex, and surgery type and the number of surgeries. Our study, on the other hand, revealed significantly higher postoperative GBI scores among patients with higher preoperative DAS-24 and NOSE scores. However, we showed no significant difference between the preoperative ROE score and postoperative GBI score Conclusion This study demonstrated that septorhinoplasty can not only significantly alter a nose’s functional and aesthetic appearance, but it can also boost patient satisfaction. Keywords Septorhinoplasty · DAS-modified 24 · GBI · ROE · NOSE
Introduction Septorhinoplasty is one of the most common cosmetic and functional surgeries performed to face. The surgery may be carried out for functional purpose alone, for aesthetic purpose, or both functional and aesthetic purposes.

improvement in the quality of life and increased psychological well-being after septorhinoplasty [2, 3]. Patients’ level of satisfaction depends on their character, job, social needs, and psychological state. The goal of septorhinoplasty is to ensure nose/face harmony while providing normal aeration. There are various scales to measure the nose’s aeration function and aesthetic outcomes. Despite being subjective in nature, evaluation of aesthetic outcome is the key point of surgical success.
