VIII. CONCLUSIONS

Rhinoplasty has the remarkable ability to make people feel better about themselves. Indeed, it is indisputable that rhinoplasty is a positive experience for the vast majority of patients. Many studies show that the great majority of rhinoplasty patients benefit psychologi­cally from the operation.

But, why is rhinoplasty successful? In other words, why does it produce positive psychological benefits?

Many complex psychological explanations have been suggested for this, but one thinker on the sub­ject maintained a more concrete opinion: "We should not underrate the importance of actual beauty … in human life."

This philosopher went on to say: "Beauty can be a promise of complete satisfaction … our own beauty [or lack of it] will not only figure in the image we get about ourselves, but will also figure in the image others build up about us and which will be taken back again into ourselves. The body image is the result of social life."
