[Rhinoplasty: psychological aspects. Psychiatrist/surgeon collaboration. Apropos of 207 patients surgically treated 1...

This study emphasizes motivations and psychological consequences of rhinoplasty on a sample of 207 patients operated by the same surgeon. Four dissatisfaction risk factors that are rather independent from personality are defined to help the surgeon on his decision making. Psychiatrist/surgeon joint working is envisaged in a triangular relation with the patient under risk in order to tackle causes of misfit somehow. The main benefit from this working together is at increasing surgeon's protection within his operating act.
