Abstract
Background Rhinoplasty is a common and complex plastic surgery procedure. The evaluation of surgical success in rhinoplasty is primarily based on patient satisfaction. The purpose of the study is to assess the characteristics of patients who underwent rhinoplasty and their satisfaction using the FACE-Q questionnaire. Methodology This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study of patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, or a revision rhinoplasty from 2010 to 2020 at a single center. Patients were asked to complete the FACE-Q nose score pre and postoperatively. Patients also provided information on their sociodemographic characteristics, smoking status, alcohol consumption, number of rhinoplasty procedures, cause of revision, and respiratory symptoms before rhinoplasty. Results This study included 183 patients who underwent rhinoplasty between 2010 and 2020. The mean (SD) age of patients at surgery was 25.92 (8.69) years. There were 156 female respondents (85.2%) and 27 male respondents (14.8%). FACE-Q nose satisfaction scores increased significantly after surgery with a mean of 67.21 ± 22.3 (p = 0.000). The most common reason for revision surgery was tip dissatisfaction. Conclusions The findings of this study show that ethnic rhinoplasty, although a complex procedure, can lead to aesthetically pleasing outcomes in a complex population such as the Middle Eastern population.

Ethnic, Asian, Middle Eastern, African and Latino rhinoplasty
The nose in front of the surgeon decides the operation, not the patient's ancestry: skin thickness, cartilage strength and existing dorsal height set the limits of what any technique can deliver, and planning every nose toward one Caucasian ideal is the error the comparative data now names.
Outcomes, satisfaction and psychology
Rhinoplasty is measured with ten different questionnaires, none of which covers both the way the nose looks and the way it breathes, and the best-developed one has no airway questions at all.
