Background and Aim
Today, plastic surgeries are among the most popular types of surgeries worldwide, and Iran is placed as one of the tops on the list of plastic surgeries. Considering these facts, this study was designed to evaluate the volunteer's motivations, their attitudes and informational sources performed in Panzdah Khordad Educational Hospital, in Tehran, during 2005-2006. Materials and Methods
The study was conducted on a cross- sectional basis. All patients undergoing plastic surgeries, and referred to this center during that time, were evaluated and necessary information was recorded. All the findings were evaluated statistically and the results were presented by descriptive and analytical statistics. Results
75 patients were studied in this research. The average age of the participants was 33±13 (minimum of 17 and maximum of 63 years old). Rhinoplasty (52%) and abdominoplasty (8%), were the most and less common surgeries done. The major motivators were friends, relatives and classmates (40%) and the least important ones were magazines and journals (4%). 10.7 percent of the participants described the posture and function of their target organs perfect, but they planned to improve it by the aesthetic surgeries. Conclusion
No relation was found between the motivations and type of the surgeries and educational stand, but the motivations were dependent on patient's occupation, marital status and attitude towards the target organLanguage:
