Abstract:
The practice of psychological risk assessment (PRA) is an indispensable component of the screening process for patients seeking elective appearance-altering procedures (AAPs). Despite the need for more literature in PRA, some risk factors for psychological adverse outcomes have been established. Among these risk factors are personality disorders. This article provides some background regarding psychological risk factors associated with personality disorders for patients seeking AAPs and a brief introduction to personality disorders for the surgeons to be better prepared to identify these conditions while conducting a PRA.
