Abstract

This study evaluates the aesthetic and psychological outcomes of combining rhinoplasty with a lip lift, focusing on facial harmony and patient satisfaction. To assess whether the combined procedure improves facial proportions and satisfaction. We hypothesize significant aesthetic and psychological benefits. A retrospective cohort study of 50 female patients (aged 18–49) was conducted, compliant with STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines. Patients underwent combined rhinoplasty and lip lift between April 2021 and October 2024. Pre/post measurements of upper lip length, nasal length, and nasolabial angle were recorded. Patient satisfaction was evaluated via the Visual Analog Scale and composite score. Ethical approval was obtained from Istanbul Aydın University (approval number: 106/2024). Postoperative reductions in lip (−5.72 mm), nasal lengths (−18.8 mm), and an increase in nasolabial angle (+27.36 degrees), were statistically significant. The satisfaction rate was 96%. The combined procedure significantly enhances facial aesthetics and satisfaction, supporting its role in comprehensive facial cosmetic surgery.
