Abstract
The literature on the psychiatric aspects of cosmetic rhinoplasty is reviewed, and 45 patients who complained about the appearance of their noses were studied. They were found to be psychologically disturbed as a group but no relationship was found between the degree of deformity and the amount of psychological disturbance.Keywords
