Objective: Psychiatric suitability is an important parameter that is evaluated together with anatomical suitability when deciding on rhinoplasty surgery. There is no matter how successful the treatment or surgery is, the results are not satisfactory for individuals with psychiatric symptoms. To make a broader assessment of psychiatric suitability, we aimed to evaluate body perception, disability, depression and social phobia in individuals who underwent for rhinoplasty surgery. Method: In this study, patients who applied to the Mustafa Kemal University Hospital Otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic between 1/1/2019 and 1/1/2020 were included. Among the patients, 50 volunteers who applied for complaints of dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of the nose were included in the case group. In the control group, 50 patients who applied to the Otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic, had any complaints other than nasal deformity and were not planning for any other aesthetic operation were included. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in terms of body image, disability, depression and social phobia. Conclusion: It has been confirmed that depression and body image do not show significant changes in patients who will undergo septorhinoplasty, and the information that disability and social phobia are not effective has been brought to the literature. Further studies with larger samples are needed on preoperative psychiatric evaluation.
