摘要
In a survey carried out on 229 subjects who had undergone an augmentative mammaplasty it was possible to verify a postoperative increase in weight in 25 cases, four of which were clearly anorexic. We hypothesized that a change in perception of one's body proportions after the insertion of implants. might have been a determinant in blocking the mechanism leading to anorexia, or at least in the continuation of the recovering process. The aim of this article is obviously not to state that augmentative mammaplasty can be a kind of therapy for anorexia. Instead, we want to underline how a more pleasant contour of some body areas can have a role in solving deeper psychological problems.
