Abstract
Congenital craniofacial anomalies pose significant challenges not only physically, but also psychosocially for patients. Rhinoplasty, as an integral part of reconstructive surgery, aims to improve not only aesthetic function, but also the psychosocial well-being of affected individuals. The literature shows a variety of studies exploring the psychosocial impact of these interventions, focusing on everything from quality of life to individual and family perceptions. This integrative review covered studies published in specialized journals in English and Portuguese from 2005 to 2024, such as comprehensive reviews, prospective and retrospective studies, as well as qualitative research. A search was made in electronic databases such as PubMed and Scopus and Scielo, using the terms "psychosocial impact", "Rhinoplasty", "Craniofacial abnormalities". The results indicate that rhinoplasty significantly improves patients' self-image and self-esteem, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. The multidisciplinary approach, combining cosmetic surgery and oral rehabilitation, proved crucial in maximizing therapeutic benefits and facilitating social and educational integration. Patient and family satisfaction with the results of the surgeries was high, reinforcing the importance of the positive psychosocial impact. In addition, improvements in social adaptation and stigma reduction were evident in the patients' adult lives. Rhinoplasty emerges not only as an aesthetic intervention, but crucially as a tool to improve psychosocial well-being in patients with congenital craniofacial anomalies. The results of this integrative review highlight the importance of multidisciplinary approaches that consider not only the physical aspects, but also the psychological and social impacts of these interventions. Future research should continue to explore these aspects in order to optimize the results and the psychosocial support offered to these patients.
