Evaluation of Post-Operative Patient Satisfaction and Rhinoplasty Decision Based on Pre-and PostOperative Images on Social Media.

Objective: The novel objective of this research was to evaluate post-operative patient satisfaction among Turkish patients who decided to have rhinoplasty by seeing their pre-operative and post-operative images on social media. Method: This research compared and evaluated the collected data from three patient groups, namely Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 to investigate the satisfaction level of the patients after the first year of the surgery. Result: The study found that the number of patients who decided to get rhinoplasty done after looking at images from social media were similar to other groups according to surgeon's scores. However, it was determined that the patient satisfaction of those who came after looking at images from social media was lower by a large margin and their expectations were not met by rhinoplasty. Conclusion: This research presented a novel theoretical implication that was not determined and evaluated by other studies in prior studies. The contribution of this research has reliable justification to improve patient satisfaction based on their health behavior to improve their level of satisfaction with rhinoplasty.
