  • Plastic Surgery
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) affects 1% of the general population.
  • BDD prevalence is significantly higher (6-16 times) in individuals seeking plastic surgery.

Observation:

  • Plastic surgery clinics see a disproportionately high number of patients with BDD.
  • Identifying BDD in these patients is essential for appropriate management.

Findings:

  • The article reviews methods for identifying BDD in plastic surgery candidates.
  • It explores treatment options for BDD patients, including surgical considerations.
  • Referral guidelines for psychologic or psychiatric counseling are discussed.

Implications:

  • Improved diagnostic skills for plastic surgeons can lead to better patient outcomes.
  • Appropriate management of BDD can prevent unnecessary surgeries and improve mental health.
  • Timely psychiatric referral ensures patients receive necessary mental health support.
