Background: In all areas of life including health, choices have widely increased andconcerns over getting hold of further choices have made trust a necessary element. Thisstudy, taking into consideration the interconnection of three concepts of trust, risk, andbody, aims at describing and interpreting different types of trust experienced in a riskymedical operation (cosmetic surgery). Materials and Methods: To achieve the givenpurpose, within interpretative paradigm and employing qualitative method, in‑depthphenomenological interviews were conducted with 26 people who volunteered to havea cosmetic surgery. Participants, who have been selected through purposive samplingtechniques, were fully aware of their participation in the study and were insured that thedata would be confidential and would be used only for the purpose of the study. Datawere gathered within a one‑year period of the study, from February 20, 2012 to February20, 2013. Results of three‑phase interviews were validated against participatory feedbackand researchers’ triangulation and were further analyzed by means of seven‑stageColaizzi method. Findings: Consequently, five main themes, namely, vicarious trust, trustwithin the reach, institutionalized trust, criterion trust, and wrapped trust were extracted.Conclusion: Apart from existing differences among these five themes (e.g. degree of thesubjectivity and objectivity in the patient), they can be regarded comparable in terms ofbeing single‑sided (from the patient’s side).In other words, in all experiences, participants,having considered “the necessity of gaining trust” as a presupposition, have made aunilateral effort in creating the aforementioned phenomenon.
