Skin problems following septorhinoplasty.

Abstract

Septorhinoplasty is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in the world. Studies on septorhinoplasty in the literature mainly focus on the surgical procedures and their outcomes, but the general appearance of the nose and nasal skin following surgery is also very important. Case-control study examining 30 septorhinoplasty patients and 20 septoplasty patients for postoperative skin conditions. There were significant differences identified between the septorhinoplasty group and the septoplasty group with respect to their mean preoperative Global Acne Grading System, Seborrheic Dermatitis Area Severity Index, and visual analog scores (acne, seborrhea, and ecchymosis). The aim of study was to identify and evaluate postoperative skin conditions among septorhinoplasty patients, as well as the progression and duration of treatment of these conditions. 3b.
