Background: Rhinoplasty is a popular surgical procedure aimed at enhancing nasal aesthetics and functionality. Evaluating patient and surgeon satisfaction with rhinoplasty outcomes is crucial for assessing the procedure’s success. Factors influencing satisfaction and potential disparities between patients and surgeons need investigation to improve surgical techniques and patient experiences. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at Patna Medical College and Hospital, Patna. Participants met inclusion criteria (age 18-35, no prior rhinoplasty, no major health or psychological issues). Standardized questionnaires collected data on demographics and satisfaction. Data analysis used SPSS 18.0, with significance set at 0.05. Results: Gender impacted patient satisfaction with nostril outcomes one month after rhinoplasty (female: 29%, male: 17%). Younger patients (<25 years) expressed higher satisfaction with nasal width (56%) and general satisfaction (50%) than older patients (32%) three months post-surgery. Single patients showed greater satisfaction (80%) with middle-lower nose display than married patients (60%) three months after surgery. Patients without a high school diploma reported higher satisfaction one month post-rhinoplasty, especially regarding nasal hump, middle-lower nose display, nose proportions, and general satisfaction. Surgeon satisfaction increased after three months, while patients reported elevated satisfaction, particularly regarding aesthetic factors, but lower general satisfaction compared to surgeons. Conclusion: Rhinoplasty outcomes vary by gender, age, marital status, and educational level. Tailored care strategies are needed to enhance patient experiences and satisfaction. Recommendations: Surgeons should consider demographic factors when discussing rhinoplasty outcomes with patients. Preoperative counseling and managing expectations can improve patient satisfaction. Further research can explore additional variables influencing rhinoplasty satisfaction.
