Rhinoplasty is known to increase attractiveness; however, the influence of observer age and gender are largely undetermined.

This retrospective cross-sectional study included 20 women who underwent cosmetic rhinoplasty between January 1st, 2012, and December 31st, 2019.

A total of 4 surveys were constructed with 10 sets of photographs each (5 preoperative and 5 postoperative).

Surveys were designed such that photographs of the same patient were not placed in the same survey to avoid recall bias.

Each of these surveys were then sent to at least 30 lay people via a web-based survey tool. Anonymous blinded respondents used a 7-point Likert scale to rate their perception of each patient’s aggressiveness, likeability, sociability, trustworthiness, attractiveness, femininity, intelligence and confidence.

A multivariate linear mixed effect model was applied to analyze the overall patient trait data as well as to assess age and gender differences.
