Abstract
Background: There are several factors affecting the results of rhinoplasty, and the predictability of outcomes still remains insufficient. Objective: To associate the rhinoplasty results with patients' age by anthropometric measurements. Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients undergoing rhinoplasty who were divided into decades of age. Anthropometric measurements were carried out using Rhinobase® Software. Wilcoxon t test was used for the postoperative 3 months and 2 years analysis. p values of <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 243 patients (median age: 37.1; M:F = 68:175) were included in the study: group I (19-29 years) n: 80; group II (30-39 years) n:71; group III (40-49 years) n: 48; and group IV (50-61 years) n: 44. In group IV, the highest value of difference (Δ) was seen in the midfacial height with the number of 5.5 ± 1.1 (mm) (<0.001). The values of nasal length, tip projection, and midfacial height parameters showed significant differences in both group III and group IV. Conclusions: Unfavorable age-related changes in long-term postoperative period following rhinoplasty can occur in patients above 40 years of age.
