feature of the face. Anthropometry of facial symmetry and proportions is regarded as a factor of beauty in a
particular population.
Aims & Objectives: To compare preoperative and postoperative anthropometric measurements based on an
adult patient life-size photograph and subjective satisfaction using Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation score
(ROE) preoperatively and postoperatively in adult patients undergoing Primary Rhinoplasty in north Indian
population.
Materials: The study was comprised of patients aged 18 years or above with cosmetic and/or functional
disorders requiring primary rhinoplasty and the sample size was 20 patients.
Result: According to the Rhinoplasty outcome evaluation score, 17 patients had excellent satisfaction, 2
patients had good satisfaction and 1 patient had acceptable satisfaction.
Conclusion: Patients belonging to lower socioeconomic background had less surgical expectations and were
highly satisfied with the outcomes. According to our research, females had higher satisfaction than male after
