Medical and psychological reasons for getting aesthetic rhinoplasty

Abstract

The original desire of all people is the desire to look more attractive by improving their appearance and the most advanced direction, in achieving aesthetic superiority, cosmetic surgical interventions have been and remain. The leading place in the patient’s desires is occupied by aesthetic facial surgery, where the most popular and not always justified is the change in the shape of the external nose. To date, the techniques and techniques for performing aesthetic rhinoplasty have reached their perfection. But at the stage of selecting patients for aesthetic surgery on the external nose, doctors always face certain difficulties. The most common problems for plastic surgeons are created by patients with dysmorphophobia where, for example, the main motive for persons with dysmorphomania to make rhinoplasty is dissatisfaction with the size and shape of their own nose, which, in their opinion, prevents them from achieving success in their personal life, building a career, etc. Other patients with dysmorphophobic syndrome have low self-esteem, in their opinion, the ugly shape of the nose prevents marriage etc. In this context, an unsuccessful example of performing aesthetic rhinoplasty for a patient whose anamnesis was aggravated by polypous rhinosinusitis and bronchial asthma with an uncontrolled course is given. A brief review of the literature and presented clinical examples substantiate the need to address a number of important questions at the stages of selection and planning of aesthetic rhinoplasty: does the patient have mental disorders; what are the true reasons motivating the patient for surgery; whether there are any diseases of the upper respiratory tract, violations of the architectonics of the deep sections of the nasal cavity, preventing operations, etc.
