Psychological investigations in cosmetic surgery: a look back and a look ahead.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 1998 April
This article reviews the history of psychological investigations of cosmetic surgery patients.

We discuss the relationship between body image and cosmetic surgery and pose several relevant questions for future research.
