The secondary objective was to assess changes in patients’ self-perception and aesthetic expectations regarding surgical outcomes following preoperative consultation with the surgeon.  \nMaterials and methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 56 adult patients seeking primary aesthetic rhinoplasty at a tertiary care center were included. Each participant completed a 10-item anatomical evaluation form. An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon independently evaluated the same parameters. Additionally, participants completed a two-item visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire both before and after the preoperative consultation.  \nResults: Patients most frequently reported a nasal hump (91%), nasal deviation (89%), and a drooping nasal tip (77%) as their primary concerns. The surgeon most commonly identified a nasal hump (98%), tip ptosis (61%), and nasal deviation (59%) . A significant discrepancy was observed between patient and surgeon evaluations of nasal deviation (p \u003C 0.01), as well as in the recognition of extranasal aesthetic regions, particularly the cheek–midface (p = 0.04) and forehead–glabella (p \u003C 0.01) areas. VAS scores for nasal appearance and expected surgical outcomes showed no significant change after the consultation (p = 0.184, p = 0.243) .  \nConclusion: Although there was general agreement between patients and the surgeon regarding nasal deformities, patient awareness of adjacent facial regions remained limited. Furthermore, preoperative counseling alone was insufficient to alter patients’ self-perception or aesthetic expectations, highlighting the need for enhanced educational strategies in rhinoplasty planning.  \nKey words: Rhinoplasty, patient, facial aesthetics, self-perception, awareness  \n1.
