Rhinoplasty and the 'Big Five' Model: The Impact of Patients' Personality Traits on Post-surgical Satisfaction Outcomes.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe nose plays a central role in facial aesthetics and perceptions of beauty. While personality influences the quality of life and self-perception, its effect on post-rhinoplasty satisfaction remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between personality traits and satisfaction with rhinoplasty outcomes.
methodsA comparative analysis was conducted between rhinoplasty patients and the general population, assessing personality traits and nasal perceptions using the Rhinoplasty Health Inventory and Nasal Outcomes (RHINO) scale pre and post-surgery, along with the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) for personality structure profiling based on the Big Five model.
resultsA total of 117 rhinoplasty patients and 95 controls participated. Rhinoplasty patients, especially females, showed lower neuroticism and agreeableness but higher conscientiousness than controls. Female rhinoplasty patients had reduced negative affect and self-reproach, while males exhibited lower positive affect relative to controls. RHINO scale scores indicated post-surgery improvement in all aesthetic and functional domains. As for the relationship between personality traits and rhinoplasty satisfaction scores, significant correlations emerged between neuroticism and aesthetic satisfaction, while conscientiousness showed an inverse association with satisfaction among females.
conclusionThese findings suggest distinct personality patterns among rhinoplasty candidates compared to the general population, with specific traits linked to postoperative satisfaction. We recommend using the NEO-FFI as a preoperative screening tool to identify patients at risk of dissatisfaction and encourage further research across diverse populations to validate these findings.
