Abstract
There is a strong association between nose morphology and personal identity.

The authors exhamine the psychological aspects of rhinoplastic: expectations and motivations; the body image disorder; the minimal defect; short-term and long-term outcome of rhinoplasty for medical or cosmetc indications; psychosocial outcomes for patients seeking cosmetic surgery.File in questo prodotto:
