Objective: The aim of this study was to compare body image concern in candidates for rhinoplasty and therapeutic surgery. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 212 patients referring to Loghman Hospital of Tehran for rhinoplasty and therapeutic surgery during the period from 2014 through 2016. For each person in a cosmetic surgery group, a person of the same sex and age in a therapeutic surgery group was matched, and the study was conducted on 60 subjects in the rhinoplasty group and 62 patients in the therapeutic surgery group. Then, the Body Image Concern Inventory and demographic data were filled by all patients and the level of body image concern in both groups was compared. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 16, Chi-square test as well as paired-samples t-test. P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In this study, 122 patients (49 males and 73 females) with mean age of 27.1±7.3 between 18 and 55 years of age were investigated. Sixty subjects were candidates for rhinoplasty and 62 subjects for therapeutic surgery. Candidates for rhinoplasty were mostly male (60%) and single (63.3%). Results of the t-test demonstrated that body image concern and body dysmorphic disorder were higher in the rhinoplasty group compared to the therapeutic group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study showed that the frequency of rhinoplasty candidates is higher in single male subjects. In addition, body image concern was higher in rhinoplasty candidates compared to candidates for other surgeries.

Background: Body dysmorphic disorder among patients referring for cosmetic surgeries is a disorder that if not
diagnosed by a physician, can cause irreparable damage to the doctor and the patient.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare body image concern in candidates for rhinoplasty and
therapeutic surgery.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 212 patients referring to Loghman Hospital of Tehran
for rhinoplasty and therapeutic surgery during the period from 2014 through 2016. For each person in a cosmetic
surgery group, a person of the same sex and age in a therapeutic surgery group was matched, and the study was
conducted on 60 subjects in the rhinoplasty group and 62 patients in the therapeutic surgery group. Then, the
Body Image Concern Inventory and demographic data were filled by all patients and the level of body image
concern in both groups was compared. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 16, Chi-square test as well
as paired-samples t-test. P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: In this study, 122 patients (49 males and 73 females) with mean age of 27.1±7.3 between 18 and 55
years of age were investigated. Sixty subjects were candidates for rhinoplasty and 62 subjects for therapeutic
surgery. Candidates for rhinoplasty were mostly male (60%) and single (63.3%). Results of the t-test
demonstrated that body image concern and body dysmorphic disorder were higher in the rhinoplasty group
compared to the therapeutic group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Results of this study showed that the frequency of rhinoplasty candidates is higher in single male
subjects. In addition, body image concern was higher in rhinoplasty candidates compared to candidates for other
surgeries. Visiting and correct interviewing of people who referred for rhinoplasty is very important to measure
their level of body image concern to diagnose any disorders available and to consider required treatments |
