What determines whether a patient is happy with the results of a cosmetic procedure? Clearly the skill of the doctor performing the procedure plays a large role. But there are also very important patient factors that come into this equation.
Older patients, patients who are responding to internal rather than external pressures for cosmetic surgery, and patients who have realistic expectations of how cosmetic surgery will affect their lives tend to be more satisfied with cosmetic procedures.
Patients with untreated depression or body dysmorphic disorder are usually not happy with the outcomes of cosmetic procedures.
All factors must be taken into account when determining the fitness of the patient for cosmetic surgery in order to maximize patient satisfaction with the results.
