dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to compare the relationship between social appearance anxiety, self-esteem, eating behavior, and body perception in individuals who applied to the Ear, Nose and Throat outpatient clinic for rhinoplasty and septoplasty. A total of 93 people were included, 44 patients in the rhinoplasty group and 49 patients in the septoplasty group. Social Appearance Anxiety Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), and Stunkard Scale (Body Image Scale) were applied to the individuals. The researchers took measurements of the participants' body weight (kg) and height (cm). The data obtained were analyzed using the statistical package program (SPSS). Rhinoplasty patients were found to have higher social appearance anxiety and lower self-esteem compared to septoplasty patients (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in Stunkard body dissatisfaction and DEBQ scores (external, emotional, and restrained eating) between groups (p>0.05). In both groups, a negative correlation was found between self-esteem and social appearance anxiety. However, this relationship was stronger in rhinoplasty patients (r=-0.579) compared to septoplasty patients (r=-0.331) (p<0.05). In both groups, restrictive eating and negative body image were positively correlated with BMI (p<0.05). A significant relationship was also found between BMI and emotional eating in the septoplasty group (r=0.474, p<0.05). Our study has shown that females who want to have rhinoplasty have higher social appearance anxiety and lower self-esteem. These findings demonstrated that comprehensive psychological assessment is important to improve both the mental health and overall outcomes of patients undergoing nasal surgery.
