If a patient expects a drastic and unrealistic change, he or she is likely to be dissatisfied with the actual results of the procedure.

Patients who feel satisfied with the change achieved are more likely to experience an increase in confidence and self-esteem, which translates into a positive self-perception and greater inner harmony.
