“…In addition, the timeline of the follow-up is a relevant aspect in the analysis of the PROMs. The positive change in bodily and mental perception and the quality of life is especially obvious in the first 12 months after surgery [149]. A meta-analysis performed by Yang et al in 2018 verified this in a review of all rhino-specific PROMs and confirmed the improved quality of life, in particular in the first 12 months and in young patients [150].…”

ZusAmmenfAssungIn kaum einem anderen Bereich ist das Ergebnis so offensichtlich, wie bei der plastisch-ästhetischen Nasenchirurgie. Umsomehr spielen sowohl die Qualität des Eingriffs und im Bereich der Ästhetik die Qualität des Ergebnisses eine herausragende Rolle. Hierbei sind die Erwartungen und der Anspruch des Operateurs nicht immer deckungsgleich mit der des Patienten. Des Weiteren haben Kostenträger, im Falle von Kombinationsoperationen, einen eigenen Fokus zum Thema Qualität, der häufig mit Wirtschaftlichkeit verwechselt wird. Objektive Kriterien spielen für den Arzt eine wesentliche Rolle, wobei für die Patienten sehr häufig weiche Kriterien von wesentlicher Bedeutung sind. Dies ist umso diffiziler, da Schönheit im Auge des Betrachters liegt und mit funktionellen Kriterien, wie Atmung und Riechen vereinbar sein müssen. In der Vielzahl von Qualitätskriterien fällt es dem Laien schwer die richtige Arztwahl zu treffen, insbesondere angesichts unzähliger Siegel, Zertifkate und des Einflusses des Internets bzw. von Social Media. Aber auch der Chirurg muss aus einer Vielzahl von Kongressen, Kursen und Symposien herausfinden, welche dieser Veranstaltungen eine bestimmte Mindestqualität garantiert. Trotz einer enormen Veränderung und Verfeinerung der rhinochirurgischen OP-Techniken im Rahmen der letzten Jahrzehnte, wird die Ergebnisqualität seitens der Patienten konstant vor die Prozedurqualität gestellt. Dieses Referat versucht eine Standortbestimmung möglichst objektivierbarer Qualitätsindikatoren in Kombination mit unterschiedlichen Anforderungen und Standpunkten zum Thema Qualität -aus Sicht des Arztes, des Patienten und des Kostenträgers -zu beleuchten und diese im Spiegel sich verändernder OP-Techniken der plastisch-ästhetischen Nasenchirurgie zu betrachten. AbstrActIn hardly any other field outcome is more obvious as in plasticaesthetic nasal surgery. Both the quality of the procedure and the quality of the result play an outstanding role in the arena of aesthetics. Expectations and interests of the surgeon are not always congruent with those of the patient. Furthermore, payers, in the case of combination surgery, have their own focus on quality, which is often confused with economy. Objective criteria play an essential role for the physician, with soft criteria being very important for patients. This is much more difficult because beauty is in the eye of the beholder and must be compatible with functional conditions such as breathing and smelling. In the variety of quality standards, it is difficult to make the right choice of surgeon for the non-professional, especially in the face of countless seals, certificates and the influence of the internet and social media. But even the surgeon has to ascertain a minimum level of quality from a large number of congresses, courses, and symposia. Despite a tremendous change and refinement of the rhinosurgical techniques over the past decades, quality of the outcome is constantly being prioritized for process quality by the patients. This paper attempts to define mo...

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to verify the relationship between the level of neuroticism and selected aspects of life satisfaction in women undergoing breast augmentation surgery.MethodsThe study group included 109 women, aged 18–46 years, who completed the self-developed survey measuring selected psychological traits before and after (1 year) surgery. Four questions in this survey were related to the level of neuroticism and two pertained to the self-assessment of leading character traits and the level of life satisfaction. Three questions made up the lie scale.ResultsThe studied women were constant in their truthfulness. No statistically significant difference in the level of neuroticism before and after surgery was noticed. However, an increase in the subjective life satisfaction after surgery was highly significant (p < 0.001). Statistically significant negative correlations of neuroticism level with the self-assessment of positive character traits (rs = − 0.236; p = 0.013) and life satisfaction (rs = − 0.277; p = 0.004) were found before surgery. Also, a significant positive correlation was observed between neuroticism and the change in life satisfaction 1 year after surgery (rs = 0.302; p = 0.001).ConclusionsBreast augmentation surgery did not affect neuroticism level, which proves that constitutional personality traits in women undergoing such operations are not significantly influenced by a surgical intervention. However, neuroticism may play the role of a modulator of the psychological changes in women after breast augmentation (e.g., an increased postsurgical life satisfaction). The preliminary results obtained in our study should be confirmed on a larger sample size in the future.Level of Evidence IVThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
