Objective: Rhinoplasty is a frequent plastic surgery which has been dramatically increasing In Iran. Some reports presenting the role of the character in making decisions for cosmetic surgeries. Therefore, the present study was aimed to assess the relationship between the character and temperament traits with rhinoplasty surgery in Mashhad, northeast of Iran.

Demographic information was collected and all participants completed the TCI-125 questionnaire (C. Robert Cloninger, 1994). Data were illustrated by parametric and non-parametric comparisons and crosstab test, using SPSS V 16.
Findings: The temperaments of novelty seeking (p<0.001) and harm avoidance (p<0.001) were significantly higher in rhinoplasty subjects than in the control group. Moreover, the characters of cooperativeness (p=0.002) and self-directedness (p<0.001) were significantly lower in cases than in controls. Categorization based on sex indicated similar results. However, males presented differences just in harm avoidance and self-directedness.
