[The influence of signs of dysmorphophobia on the evaluation of the result of rhinoplasty].

The object of the clinical research was 367 patients after rhinoplasty. All patients before the operation fill in a special questionnaire, allowing to evaluate quantify the signs of dysmorphophobia. Patients with low index of dysmorphophobia (within 5-6 points) adequately estimated the result of the operation because their opinion coincided with the opinion of the doctor and in some cases they didn't notice even insignificant defects the doctor saw. The total number of these results satisfying the patient and the doctor composed 93% (341 patients). The patients who attaches great importance to insignificant defect of their appearance the index of desmorphophobia was high (16 patients - the average index of dysmorphophobia - 15). Questionnaires containing questions that allows to expose the signs of dysmorphophobia may be useful in the time of selection of patients for plastic surgery, in particular rhinoplasty. According to the questionnaire worked out by us, the index of dysmorphophobia of 5 points and below allows to count up on an adequate evaluation. The importance of index from 6 to 10 points may require psychological support of the patient who will much evaluate the result.
