Caring for Patients With Body Dysmorphic Disorder Seeking to Undergo Plastic Surgery and/or Aesthetic Interventions.

In the field of medical aesthetics and plastic surgery, it is not uncommon to interact with clients who never seem to be satisfied, regardless of the success of an intervention. Medical professionals may attribute this to the patient having an overly critical nature; however, this continual dissatisfaction could also be the result of a mental health disorder known as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) that is significantly underdiagnosed and prevalent within the plastic surgery and aesthetic patient population. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013), BDD is defined as, "a preoccupation with one or more perceived defects or flaws in physical appearance that are not observable or appear slight to others" (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2016, Table 23). Having the ability to identify the signs of BDD, utilize appropriate communication skills with individuals who may have BDD, and understand the implications of providing additional aesthetic treatments for patients who present with BDD allows aesthetic practitioners to prioritize and promote patient safety, well-being, and satisfaction.

Investigating the prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder among Jordanian adults with dermatologic and cosmetic concerns: a case-control study.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is an underexplored psychiatric condition in Middle Eastern countries, particularly in patients with dermatologic concerns, where alterations in appearance may elevate the risk of BDD. We studied patients at Jordan University Hospital's general dermatology and cosmetic clinics from July to September 2022, comparing them to healthy controls. Patients with dermatologic conditions were evaluated per the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) criteria by trained dermatologists. All participants completed the Dysmorphic Concerns Questionnaire (DCQ), Perceived Stress Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-2, General Anxiety Disorder Assessment tool-2. We assessed BDD prevalence using four DCQ cutoffs: 9, 11, 14, and 17, reporting effect sizes as odds ratios (OR). Our study involved 1500 participants, with an average age of 29.3 (± 14.8) years and a female-to-male ratio of 3.15-to-1. At the 9, 11, 14, and 17 DCQ cutoffs, BDD prevalence was 78.2%, 54.2%, 26.5%, and 11.7%, respectively. Patients with dermatologic concerns were more likely to exhibit clinical BDD symptoms than controls at the 11-cutoff (OR: 1.26; 95% CI 1.01-1.58; p < 0.05). Conversely, those with cosmetic concerns were more prone to clinical BDD than controls at cutoffs 9 (OR: 2.26; 95% CI 1.28-3.97; p < 0.05) and 11 (OR: 1.50; 95% CI 1.03-2.20; p < 0.05). Our logistic regression revealed consistent associations between higher DCQ scores and elevated anxiety, depression, perceived skin disease-related stigma, and reduced quality of life (p < 0.05). In conclusion, patients with dermatologic issues and those seeking cosmetic procedures are at significant risk of developing BDD, necessitating proactive screening and referrals for specialized care by dermatologists due to the associated psychological distress and unproductive consultations. Providing specialized training for healthcare professionals to establish an integrated care approach to address the needs of patients with BDD should be the focus of future research projects.

"Tattoo Characteristics and Testing for Body Dysmorphic Disorder: An Internet-based Self-questionnaire Survey of 4,809 Individuals with Tattoos".

Tattoos have become very popular worldwide in recent years. The aim of this study was to analyse a group of people interested in having tattoos, and screen them for body image disturbances. This cross-sectional self-administered internet-based survey included 4,809 individuals interesting in having tattoos. The majority of the study population were female (79.1%). The survey was conducted using a self-created questionnaire and the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire - Dermatology version. Most tattoos in the study group were located on the forearms and hands (28.1%). The most popular motifs were plants (17.5%) and animals (16.9%). Out of 4,809 individuals, 19.9% had problems with acceptance of some parts of their body and 9.8% were screened for body dysmorphic disorder with the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire - Dermatology version. Four percent of individuals reported that tattoos helped to improve their own perception of the appearance of their body by distracting attention from the other problems. Limitations of this study include possible participant selection bias and the overrepresentation of women. In conclusion, clinicians may expect to see more patients with tattoos and, of these, approximately 10% may be screened for body dysmorphic disorder.

Psychometric evaluation of the appearance anxiety inventory in adolescents with body dysmorphic disorder.

The Appearance Anxiety Inventory (AAI) is a self-report measure assessing the typical cognitions and behaviours of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Despite its use in research and clinical settings, its psychometric properties have not been evaluated in young people with BDD. We examined the factor structure, reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change of the AAI in 182 youths with BDD (82.9% girls; Mage = 15.56, SD = 1.37) consecutively referred to two specialist outpatient clinics in Stockholm, Sweden (n = 97) and London, England (n = 85). An exploratory factor analysis identified three factors, namely "threat monitoring", "camouflaging", and "avoidance", explaining 48.15% of the variance. The scale showed good internal consistency (McDonalds omega = 0.83) and adequate convergent validity with the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale Modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder for Adolescents (BDD-YBOCS-A; rs = 0.42) and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale (rs = 0.32). Sensitivity to change was adequate, with AAI total scores and individual factor scores significantly decreasing over time in the subgroup of participants receiving multimodal treatment for BDD (n = 79). Change of AAI scores over treatment showed a positive statistically significant moderate-to-good correlation (r = 0.55) with changes in BDD symptom severity, measured by the BDD-YBOCS-A. The study provides empirical support for the use of the AAI in young people with BDD in clinical settings.

Going deeper into eating and body image pathology in males: Prevalence of muscle dysmorphia and eating disorders in a university representative sample.

Disorders associated with body dissatisfaction such eating disorders (ED) and muscle dysmorphia (MD) in males are understudied and surrounded by controversy regarding their nosological aspects. The current study examined the prevalence rates of clinical cases of ED and MD through a two-phase study with gold standard clinical interview in a representative sample of 850 Spanish undergraduate men, of whom 141 were interviewed. Levels of body dissatisfaction, compulsive exercise, anxious-depressive symptoms and the amount of physical activity were also explored. A prevalence rate for ED of 1.4% and 1.3% for MD was found. No differences were observed between the clinical groups on scales related to body image, supporting the current perspective that MD as well as ED and Body Dysmorphic Disorder could be clustered in a new spectrum of body image disorders, where the behaviours performed to achieve body change could range from restriction or muscularity-oriented eating alterations to pathological exercise or cosmetic surgery. The usefulness of the cut-off points of the screening questionnaires in MD and ED in males are discussed.

Psychological evaluation of Asian female patients with rhinoplasty.

BACKGROUND: Patients requiring plastic surgery exhibit more abnormal psychological trends (e.g., body dysmorphic disorder [BDD], depression, and anxiety) than those requiring other surgeries. However, there are only a few domestic studies on the psychological aspects of the population requiring plastic surgery. Therefore, we analyzed the psychological characteristics and psychological impact of rhinoplasty in female patients. METHODS: In this study, patients were classified into 2 groups: 151 males and 60 females. The self-rating scale of body image (SSBI), self-rating anxiety scale, self-rating depression scale, and postoperative satisfaction questionnaire were used to examine the patients before and after surgery. The results were analyzed using t-test, analysis of variance, chi-square test, paired rank sum test, and Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS: The total prevalence of BDD in female patients who underwent rhinoplasty was 7.3%. The prevalence of anxiety disorders was 31.8% and that of depression was 45.0%. Female patients with BDD were more likely to exhibit depression (55.5%) and anxiety (36.4%). The SSBI score was related to marital status (p = 0.001) and history of rhinoplasty (p = 0.000). Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation between preoperative BDD score and postoperative satisfaction (r = -0.392, p = 0.002) as well as between the previous history of rhinoplasty and postoperative satisfaction (r = -0.603, p = 0.000). CONCLUSION: Pathological psychologies such as anxiety, depression, and BDD are common in patients scheduled to undergo rhinoplasty, and BDD is more likely to be associated with depression. Rhinoplasty has little psychological impact on patients, i.e., it neither causes improvement nor deterioration. Female patients who have undergone rhinoplasty should be considered to a have high risk of BDD. Although the outcomes of surgery are generally quite positive, patients diagnosed with BDD are more likely to be dissatisfied.

PREVALENCE OF BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER AMONG ATTENDANCES SEEKING FACIAL COSMETIC PROCEDURES IN BAGHDAD.

OBJECTIVE: Aim: To find out the prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder among patients seeking facial cosmetic procedures, find out association of social demographic (age, gender, occupation, marital status, friends relationship, and dating status) ampatientsient with body dysmorphic disorder. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 100 patients from Al-waste Hospital and Ghazy Al-Hariri Hospital for surgical specialties in Baghdad by using a body dysmorphic disorder questionnaire to diagnose a probable case and then a semi-structured questionnaire based on DSM5 criteria to diagnose body dysmorphic disorder during the period extended from beginning of January 2019 to the end of April 2019. RESULTS: Results: The chi-square test proved the association between female gender and body dysmorphic disorder is significant P=0.026. Significant associations were also noticed between single patients and body dysmorphic disorder 76.8% in comparison with married 37.8, and divorced or widowed 42.9% (P=0.001). It was found that 68.6% of unemployed patients think that they need to correct their body dysmorphic disorder so they attended the hospital while only 40% of employed persons did so P=0.008. The mean age of patients exposed to a second operation was significantly higher than the mean age of other patients P=0.022. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: High prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder among patients seeking plastic surgery which is about 60%. Body dysmorphic disorder is more common among single and unemployment and among young adults and gender female. There is no significant association between the mean age of male and female patients of body dysmorphic disorder group.

The heart of it all: Body dysmorphic disorder in cosmetic surgery.

BACKGROUND: Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) represents a prevalent mental health condition characterized by distress arising from self-perceived physical imperfections. BDD serves as a contraindication to aesthetic surgery. Recognizing BDD holds paramount importance for plastic surgeons, as it is instrumental in averting the exacerbation of this condition while ensuring appropriate referrals. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of BDD in cosmetic surgery patients and to pinpoint key characteristics associated with BDD. This information provides plastic surgeons with specific factors to consider during preoperative evaluations. METHODS: We employed TriNetX database to identify patients with BDD who underwent cosmetic surgery identified by Current Procedural Terminology codes. Demographics and patient characteristics were identified using the International Classification of Diseases 10 codes. We calculated odds ratios (OR) by using chi-squared tests to assess risk factors among patients with BDD. RESULTS: Of 226,374 patients who underwent plastic surgery between August 2002 and August 2022, fewer than 0.1% were diagnosed with BDD. Of the BDD patients, 52.1% were diagnosed after cosmetic surgery. Compared with the control group, BDD patients were more likely to undergo rhinoplasty (OR=1.784, p = 0.004) and nonlocalized lipectomy (OR=1.448, p = 0.021) and less likely to undergo blepharoplasty (OR=0.451, p = 0.002). Findings indicated a strong association between BDD patients undergoing cosmetic procedures and comorbid psychiatric conditions such as depression (OR=4.279, p < 0.05), anxiety (OR=5.490, p < 0.05), and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (OR=3.993, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These findings underscore the ongoing significance of BDD in the context of cosmetic surgery, potentially indicating a lower surgery rate among BDD patients compared with previous estimates. Nevertheless, avenues for further improvement persist. Our data affirm the noteworthy occurrence of postsurgery BDD development, thereby highlighting the ongoing necessity for psychiatric evaluation in surgical patients.

Development of a body dysmorphic disorder screener for DSM-5 (BDDS-5).

Early identification of individuals with Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is essential to direct them to appropriate care and to reduce the chance of developing or maintaining comorbid psychiatric disorders (like an eating disorder (ED)). The present study aimed to develop a simple screener, the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Screener for DSM-5 (BDDS-5), to overcome existing screeners' limitations and test its psychometric properties. The BDDS-5 consists of 12 statements with dichotomous answer options. Specific attention is paid to the readability of the screener for those with lower reading skills. Additional eating disorder screening questions (S section) were added to investigate whether these questions are necessary for detecting potential BDD cases. Finally, the factor structure, internal consistency, and validity of the BDDS-5 were examined within populations with a high risk of screening positive for BDD or ED. Principal axis factor analysis showed that two factors accounted for 63.5% of the variance. The factor analysis was based on polychoric correlation. Based on the BDDS-5, 33 persons (14% of N = 235) were screened as likely BDD cases. Nineteen persons were excluded as potential BDD cases based on the eating disorder related question (question D). Based on the S-section, this turned out to be largely correct for the majority, however, in 8% (n = 4) of the cases BDD was probably missed. The convergent validity appeared to be high (r > 0.80) with three other BDD measures. The BDDS-5 is a valid and widely applicable screener for BDD that may help in the early detection of BDD. The BDDS-5 uses simple wording and is thus suitable for people 8 years and older.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Self-esteem in Adolescents and Young Adults with Acne Vulgaris.

Body dysmorphic disorder is a mental health disorder characterized by a preoccupation with a perceived flaw, which is commonly seen among dermatology patients. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of body dysmorphic disorder and assess self-esteem among a clinical sample of adolescents and young adults being managed for acne vulgaris. A total of 105 patients, age range 13-24 years, receiving acne treatment at 1 of 2 dermatology outpatient clinic were included. A self-report questionnaire was used, which included a body dysmorphic disorder screening tool (based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). Acne was graded with the Cook's acne grading scale. Out of 105 adolescents and young adults visiting a dermatologist due to acne, 13 (12.4%) screened positive for body dysmorphic disorder (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 6.8-20.2%). Patients with body dysmorphic disorder were more likely to have female gender (p = 0.020) and had lower self-esteem (RSES 15.8 vs 20.5, respectively, p = 0.013) compared with patients without body dysmorphic disorder. No differences were found in the frequency of body dysmorphic disorder with DSM-IV or DSM-5 criteria. This is the first study to report on the frequency of body dysmorphic disorder and self-esteem in adolescents and young adults with acne. Ultimately, more awareness of body dysmorphic disorder among adolescents and young adults presenting with dermatological disorders could lead to more rapid recognition and referral to psychiatric units.

Food insecurity is associated with muscle dysmorphia symptomatology among a sample of Canadian adolescents and young adults.

Prior research has documented the association between food insecurity and eating disorders, disordered eating behaviors, and body dissatisfaction. No known research has investigated whether food insecurity is associated with muscle dysmorphia symptomatology, which was the aim of this study. Data from 912 adolescents and young adults in Canada were analyzed. Linear regression analyses were used to determine the association between experiencing past year food insecurity and current muscle dysmorphia symptomatology. Among the sample, 15.7% reported experiencing any food insecurity. In regression analyses, food insecurity was significantly associated with greater overall muscle dysmorphia symptomatology and symptoms of Functional Impairment and Appearance Intolerance. Nearly one in five (18.5%) participants who reported food insecurity were at clinical risk for muscle-dysmorphia. Findings add to the growing literature on the adverse correlates of food insecurity and underscore the need for more research and intervention efforts to address the relationship between food insecurity and muscle dysmorphia symptomatology.

Hair pulling disorder and skin picking disorder have relatively limited associations with negative emotionality: A meta-analytic comparison across obsessive-compulsive and related disorders.

The obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRD) chapter in DSM-5 includes two relatively distinct groups of disorders: (1) Compulsive disorders [i.e., obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), hoarding disorder (HD)] and (2) grooming disorders [i.e., skin picking disorder (SPD) and hair pulling disorder (HPD)]. The two groups may relate differently with negative emotionality; however, the literature has produced mixed findings. The current study sought to quantify the concurrent association between negative emotionality and each of the five OCRDs. We conducted systematic reviews of research reporting correlations between (1) negative emotionality (i.e., depression, anxiety, stress, negative affect, and neuroticism) and (2) severity of OCRD symptoms in both clinical and non-clinical adult samples. We used three-level meta-analytic models to estimate the size of the correlations. Negative emotionality had robust positive correlation with symptoms of OCD [k = 156, r = 0.44, 95% CI= 0.43-0.46], BDD [k = 58, r = 0.45, 95% CI= 0.43-48], and HD [k = 67, r = 0.39, 95% CI= 0.36-0.42] but significantly smaller correlation with SPD [k = 31, r = 0.31, 95% CI= 0.27-0.34] and HPD [k = 24, r = 0.28, 95% CI= 0.25-0.32]. Overall, the results indicate that grooming disorders have relatively limited associations with negative emotionality. Implications for classification of OCRDs within the broader taxonomy of psychopathology are discussed.

Prevalence of Body Dysmorphic Disorder in Orbital Plastic Surgery and Its Relationship with the Use of Social Media.

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) in the general population ranges from 0.7 to 2.4%; however, higher rates are seen among aesthetic patients. Given the recent rise in popularity of cosmetic surgery, particularly in the post-COVID pandemic setting, the authors hypothesize the prevalence has increased. The purpose of the study is to examine the prevalence of BDD in patients presenting to an oculoplastic surgery clinic at an academic center and determine correlation with social media use. METHODS: This is a survey of patients presenting to the oculoplastic surgery clinic. Participants completed the Dysmorphic Concern Questionnaire (DCQ), in addition to survey questions about social media use. Main outcomes included a positive screen and social media use. RESULTS: A total of 175 patients that presented to the oculoplastic and reconstructive surgery clinic were surveyed. All patients, including cosmetic, functional, and non-surgical, were offered participation in the survey. 9.13% of all patients screened positive for BDD. Patients that screened positive were more commonly female (71.43%). The distribution of patients with BDD was even between Hispanics (52.38%) and non-Hispanics, and 85.71% of patients with BDD were Caucasian. Of patients that screened positive, 71.43% use social media. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of BDD may have increased in the past seven years and is seen most in females and Caucasians. There is a positive correlation with social media, which has increased in popularity since the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to maintain a high clinical suspicion for BDD and consider screening if there is concern.

Testing the longitudinal relationship between muscle dysmorphia symptoms and suicidality: A network analysis investigation.

Research on suicidality in muscle dysmorphia is limited despite the high rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors in related disorders. This study employed network analysis to examine the longitudinal relationships between muscle dysmorphia symptoms, as well as the relations between MD symptoms and suicide risk factors. Fifty individuals (Mage = 30.6 years, 63 % male) meeting criteria for muscle dysmorphia received four daily surveys for three weeks. Multi-level vector autoregression analysis was used to estimate associations between muscle dysmorphia- and suicide-related thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The most central nodes in the muscle dysmorphia networks related to assessing muscle size, dieting, using muscle-building supplements, experiencing body dissatisfaction, seeking reassurance, and avoiding others due to concerns about appearance. In the comorbidity networks, the most central suicide-related factors were feelings of burdensomeness, feeling disgusted, and dwelling on the past. Our findings indicated that various intrusive thoughts (body dissatisfaction, dieting), compulsions (seeking reassurance, body checking, supplement use), and beliefs (burden to others, disgust with oneself) predicted future engagement in muscle dysmorphia and suicide-related symptomology. Targeting intrusive thoughts and compulsions, as well as feelings of disgust and burdensomeness, may reduce the severity of these conditions.

A descriptive analysis of scoring patterns on clinically relevant questionnaires in 26 adults with diagnosed muscle dysmorphia.

OBJECTIVE: Few studies have recruited adults with a formal diagnosis of muscle dysmorphia (MD), a psychological illness defined by preoccupation that one lacks muscularity and/or leanness, combined with significant functional impairment. This study presented descriptive statistics for a range of clinically relevant questionnaires in one of the largest samples of adults with confirmed diagnoses of MD. METHOD: We recruited 29 adults who met diagnostic criteria for MD as determined by semi-structured diagnostic interviews and administered a battery of questionnaires assessing MD symptomology, compulsive exercise, and disordered eating. Descriptive statistics were calculated for both total and subscale scores for each questionnaire. Raincloud plots are included to show the distribution of total scores. RESULTS: Of the 29 participants, 26 completed all questionnaires. Mean scores were high across all questionnaires and broadly consistent with results in past studies that also recruited a clinical MD sample. Most participants scored above proposed clinical cut-off scores for questionnaires assessing compulsive exercise and disordered eating. CONCLUSIONS: This study adds to the small body of published questionnaire data in clinical MD samples. We stress that questionnaire scores should not be used alone to infer the presence of MD, but could be considered as a useful adjunct to a comprehensive clinical interview.

Prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterised by a preoccupation with a perceived defect in appearance. This preoccupation results in the completion of repetitive/time consuming behaviours to reduce distress. While the disorder results in considerable distress and impairment, the prevalence of the disorder is largely unknown, as BDD has not been examined in large epidemiological studies. The aim of the current study was to provide an estimate of BDD prevalence in a variety of settings using a meta-analytic approach using only studies that have made a diagnosis using a structured diagnostic interview. Twenty-two studies met criteria (n = 7159) and the pooled point-prevalence estimate for BDD was 11.3% across all studies with high levels of heterogeneity (I2 = 95.81). The pooled point-prevalence estimate was 20.0% in cosmetic/dermatology settings, 7.4% in mental health settings, and 6.7% in 'other' settings (including students and professional ballet dancers). The risk of bias assessment indicated questionable methodological quality in some of the included studies. While this study provides an important improvement on the existing literature there is a need to include BDD in epidemiological studies in order to have a more accurate understanding of the prevalence rate of this mental health condition in the community.

Appearance-related safety behaviors predict symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder following internet-based treatment.

Recent experimental evidence has found that appearance related safety behaviors (i.e., practices meant to avoid a perceived feared outcome) likely play a crucial role in maintaining symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The present study sought to determine if these behaviors predicted BDD symptom severity following treatment. Participants (N = 50) with BDD were randomized to either eight sessions of interpretation bias modification or progressive muscle relaxation. Both treatments led to reductions in BDD symptom severity and appearance-related safety behaviors, though moderate levels of safety behaviors persisted at both posttreatment and follow-up. Importantly, post-treatment appearance related safety behaviors significantly predicted BDD symptom severity at three-month follow-up. Taken together, the present findings suggest appearance related safety behaviors maintain BDD symptoms following effective computerized treatments and provide further evidence for their importance in the treatment of BDD.

Body dysmorphic disorder: A critical appraisal of diagnostic, screening, and assessment tools.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by profound concern about a minor or imagined defect in the appearance of individuals and increased preoccupation with the imagined/perceived defect. Individuals with BDD often undergo cosmetic intervention for the perceived imperfection but rarely experience improvement in their signs and symptoms after such treatment. It is recommended that aesthetic providers evaluate individuals face-to-face and screen for BDD with approved scales preoperatively to determine the candidate's suitability for the procedure. This contribution focuses on diagnostic and screening tools and measures of disease severity and insight that providers working in nonpsychiatric settings can use. Several screening tools were explicitly developed for BDD; others were designed to evaluate body image/dysmorphic concern. The BDD Questionnaire (BDDQ)-Dermatology Version (BDDQ-DV), BDDQ-Aesthetic Surgery (BDDQ-AS), Cosmetic Procedure Screening Questionnaire (COPS), and Body Dysmorphic Symptom Scale (BDSS) have been developed explicitly for BDD and validated in cosmetic settings. The limitations of screening tools are discussed. Given the increasing use of social media, future revisions of BDD instruments should consider incorporating questions relevant to patients' behaviors on social media. Current screening tools can adequately test for BDD despite their limitations and a need for updates.
