Summary

Question 1: A 26-year-old model presents to your clinic with concerns that her nose has grown bigger and become unsightly. This concern began after she was involved in an accident and was hit on the nose three months ago.

It distresses her and leads her to wear a mask to cover her face, affecting her work as a model. What is the diagnosis?
