Abstract (original English)
Background Although many techniques in the secondary rhinoplasty field have been developed in recent years, there are debates regarding achieving results with a high satisfaction rate. We aimed to share the surgical use technique in secondary rhinoplasty patients by enriching the Turkish delight technique with mesenchymal stem cells, which we described as the golden Turkish delight (GTD) technique, and the long-term patient satisfaction results. Methods The study was planned as prospective research, and 30 secondary rhinoplasty patients who presented to our service for rhinoplasty were included. The GTD technique was applied to these patients. The patient's satisfaction with the surgical procedure was evaluated at least 9-12 months after the surgery, and the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) was used as a measurement tool. Results Of the participants, the satisfaction levels of 30 patients were evaluated with a 1-year follow-up on average, and the rate of those who improved was found to be 80% using the GAIS score. The rate of those with high GAIS scores and those with high satisfaction levels was approximately 56%. Twenty percent of the patients were not satisfied with the result. Conclusions When we evaluate the postoperative 1-year results of our patients in terms of satisfaction and complications, we may state that the absorption that may occur in the Turkish deligh
