ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, estetik cerrahi operasyonu olan bireylerin sosyal görünüş kaygılarını ve temel kişilik özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı olarak Mayıs-Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında, estetik cerrahi operasyonu olan bireylerle yapılmıştır. Çalışmada örneklem seçimine gidilmeyip, seçim kriterlerine uyan 267 birey örneklemi oluşturmuştur. Veriler tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Sosyal Görünüş Kaygısı Ölçeği ve Temel Kişilik Özellikleri Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılıma uygunluğu Shapiro-Wilk analizi ile değerlendirildi. Veriler normal dağılıma uyduğu için bağımsız örnekler t-testi ve Pearson korelasyon analizleri kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Kadın olan, bekâr olan, bir işte çalışan ve burun estetiği nedeniyle estetik cerrahi operasyonu olan bireylerin sosyal görünüş kaygısının daha fazla olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Cinsiyet, medeni durum, gelir durumu ile Temel Kişilik Özellikleri Ölçeği arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Temel Kişilik Özellikleri Ölçeği'nin duygusal tutarsızlık ve olumsuz değer alt boyutları ile sosyal görünüş kaygı düzeyi arasında pozitif yönde yüksek düzey bir ilişki (r: 0,606, 0,642; p<0,05); dışa dönüklük, deneyime açıklık ve uyumluluk alt boyutları ile sosyal görünüş kaygı düzeyi arasında negatif yönde orta düzey bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r: -0,491, - 0,473, -0,557; p<0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmada, estetik cerrahi operasyonu olan bireylerin yüksek sosyal görünüş kaygısına sahip olduğu, sosyodemografik özellikler ile temel kişilik özelliklerinin alt boyutları arasında bir fark olduğu ve sosyal görünüş kaygısı ile temel kişilik özellikleri arasında bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur.
