title: Patient dissatisfaction with results of technically satisfactory surgery.
abstract: In many instances, successful cosmetic surgery may be followed by dissatisfaction by the patient. This results from many factors, broadly classified into three categories: those attributable to the patient; those attributable to the surgeon; and those resulting from interaction between the surgeon and the patient. Careful preoperative evaluation and detailed explanations of sequelae and expected results can help avoid some of these problems.
