Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to reveal the profiles of patients who underwent aesthetic procedures with out-of-pocket payments (public sales tariffs) between 2020 and 2023 at a public hospital in Samsun. Method: This descriptive study included 525 patients who underwent aesthetic surgery with out-of-pocket payments between 2020 and 2023 in a public hospital in Samsun. In the present study, the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients and the aesthetic procedures they underwent were analyzed. Results: In 2020-2023, 49,638 patients were admitted to the Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery outpatient clinic. Surgical procedures were performed on 4,960 of these patients. Of the patients who underwent surgical procedures, 525 patients underwent invasive aesthetic procedures with out-of-pocket payments out of medical necessity. The mean age of the patients was 32.31±11.87 years, and 83.60% were female. 98% of patients are of Turkish origin. International patients came from Iraq, Azerbaijan and Germany. The most common aesthetic procedures performed were rhinoplasty, breast aesthetics and eyelid aesthetics. All the international patients had breast aesthetics. Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the majority of those who underwent aesthetic procedures were young women. The most common aesthetic procedures were rhinoplasty and breast surgery. According to these results, it may be recommended that women who undergo plastic surgery be investigated in a larger population.
