다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background and Objectives The demand for rhinoplasty has been high for both men andwomen over the years; recently, however, it is rapidly increasing for men as their interest in aestheticshas heightened. This study investigated the psychological characteristics of male patientswho underwent rhinoplasty through questionnaire-guided consultation. In addition, weinvestigated the difference between patients and surgeons regarding their aesthetic concernsfor rhinoplasty.
Subjects and Method Of the male patients who underwent rhinoplasty from January 2006to December 2012, 124 patients who had completed the questionnaires were included. Thequestionnaire for rhinoplasty asked about the basic personality traits of patients, patients’complaints about their nose, reasons for receiving the operation and expectation for postoperativechange.
Results Patients responded most to the item, “I have high expectations for the surgery” forthe question regarding personality characteristics, followed by the response, “I am concernedabout my health.” Regarding questions about reasons for rhinoplasty, complaints about theirdorsum were high; among these patients, they were most concerned about the appearance ofthe ‘crooked nose’ when viewed from the front. On the other hand, the concern for the ‘poorlydefined nasal tip’ was not high, whereas it was defined as one of the problems mentioned bythe surgeons.
Conclusion These results show differences regarding aesthetic concerns between the patientsand the surgeon, especially regarding the nasal tip. It would be helpful for both patientand surgen to plan the surgery after careful consultation based on the questionnaire, accurateunderstanding of the patients’ complaints and expectations to obtain satisfactory results forboth.
