Over the decades, research has demonstrated that in categories of
life deemed to be important, beautiful people achieve more
desirable outcomes, are judged more favorably, and receive
preferential treatment. An understanding of the historical aspects,
science, and implications of what the human mind finds
aesthetically pleasing is quintessential for dermatologists,
plastic surgeons, and others who practice aesthetic medicine as the
importance of beauty in today's society is what brings patients
into clinics. While an element of dissatisfaction with one's
appearance is commonplace, clinicians should remain vigilant for
individuals who seek cosmetic procedures to quell excessive body
image concerns that are out of proportion to objective physical
findings. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a disorder of
self-perception; it is the impairing preoccupation with a
nonexistent or minimal flaw in appearance. According to recent
statistics, BDD occurs in 0.7-2.4% of the general population;
however, multiple studies have suggested an incidence of 6-16% in
patients seeking aesthetic medical treatments. Moreover, a vast
majority will at some point seek dermatologic treatment and
cosmetic surgery. Such patients are unlikely to be satisfied with
corrective procedures, and only 15% of dermatologists surveyed
thought that they could successfully treat BDD. Therefore, Beauty
and Body Dysmor phic Disorder aims to assist dermatologists,
plastic surgeons, and other aesthetic providers in recognizing key
characteristics as well as providing treatment strategies to help
in caring for those with BDD.
