Crooked Nose: Aesthetic and Functional Outcomes.

To highlight a detailed analysis of aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty outcomes utilizing the most recent highly validated Standardized Cosmesis Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS) for Middle Eastern crooked nose patients. A longitudinal cohort study scrutinizing preoperative rhinoplasty patients' satisfaction retrospectively and their postoperative outcomes prospectively. The patients fulfilled the Arabic SCHNOS during postoperative follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative responses were recorded and then reviewed and analyzed. This study included 41 patients with a mean age of 27.8 years. Females represented 41.5% of patients. About 73% of patients had a history of trauma. 90% of patients underwent primary procedures for crooked nose correction. Twelve patients (29.3%) underwent surgery for functional reasons, and twenty-six (63.4%) had it for both aesthetic and functional issues. There was a statistically significant difference regarding changes in SCHNOS regarding nasal obstruction scores (SCHNOS-O) and nasal cosmesis scores (SCHNOS-C) ( A thorough knowledge of three-dimensional pathology and time-associated changes is required to achieve optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes for crooked nose patients. The use of highly validated questionnaires like SCHNOS in clinical practice is highly encouraged to modify and trace surgical techniques to the most appropriate and successful ones for the patients.
