چکیده    Background: despite the great number of cosmetic rhinoplasties, there are few studies on the improvement of self-concept and patient satisfaction with nose fitness. objectives: this study attempted to examine the variability of self-concept and patient satisfaction with nose fitness before and after cosmetic rhinoplasty through three to six months of follow-up. materials and methods: under a pretest-posttest single-group design, a total of 100 women and men applying for cosmetic rhinoplasty at the academic clinics in guilan were selected though convenience sampling. the participants’ age ranged from 17-47 years old and each of them responded to the beck self- concept test (bsct) and satisfaction visual analogue scale (s-vas) before and three to six months after the cosmetic surgery. the data were analyzed through the independent t-test and univariate analysis of covariance (uniancova) under a 2×2 factorial design, after controlling for the two variables of age and marital status. results: the mean age of patients was 26.85±6.60 years. we found that the self-concept in patients post-surgery had not improved compared with presurgery (p>0.05). however, the patients’ satisfaction with nose fitness significantly increased after surgery (f=70.10, p<0.0001). there was no significant difference between the female and male groups in terms of selfconcept and satisfaction with nose fitness (p>0.05). conclusion: although many rhinoplasty applicants were satisfied about the changes in their facial features, rhinoplasty seems to have failed to improve the patients’ self-concept, the implications of which are discussed.
