“…Strategies used by those with BDD to improve their appearance include dieting, excessive exercise, frequent changing of clothes, and even seeking cosmetic surgical procedures (Aouizerate et al 2003;Ashraf 2000;Ishigooka et al 1998;Kisley et al 2002;Phillips and Diaz 1997;Sarwer et al 1998;Veale 2000). These strategies often differ by gender and depend upon the body site(s) of preoccupation, but they are generally consistent with gendered body image ideals, such as thinness concerns for women (Grogan 2008), or leanness and muscularity concerns for men (Tiggemann et al 2007).…”

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a psychological disorder characterized by excessive appearance concerns. This cross-sectional study assessed an undergraduate sample of 1,041 participants from a southeastern American university to estimate an overall prevalence of BDD; investigate differences by gender, race/ethnicity, and sexual orientation; and also examine the contributions of other related constructs including appearance comparison, obligatory exercise, body image disturbance, and self-esteem. Results indicated an overall prevalence of 4.9%. Women endorsed more symptoms of BDD than men, among women Caucasians and Latinas endorsed more symptoms than African Americans, and sexual minorities endorsed more symptoms than heterosexuals. Overall, BDD symptomatology was negatively correlated with body satisfaction and self-esteem and positively correlated with appearance comparison and obligatory exercise.

“…In a dermatological setting, 12% met the BDD criteria (Phillips, Dufresne, Wilkel, & Vittorio, 2000). The first European study reported a prevalence rate of 9.1% for BDD in patients in a cosmetic surgery setting (Aouizerate et al, 2003). A recent Dutch study found 3 to 8% of the patients in dermatology and plastic surgery clinics of a university hospital to be suffering from BDD (Vulink et al, 2006).…”

“…Otra serie, recogida por Ishigookay y col. muestra una prevalencia del 47,7% (26); en Europa en cambio, se señala que la prevalencia en la consulta de la especialidad sería del 9,1% (27). A su vez, una investigación realizada por Veale recoge que de una muestra de 50 pacientes diagnosticados de TDC, el 26% se había sometido a intervenciones estéticas previamente (5).…”

ResumenEl auge de la Cirugía Estética ha motivado que cobre mayor interés el estudiar las motivaciones de los pacientes para acudir a este tipo de consultas. En el denominado Trastorno Dismórfico Corporal (TDC), los pacientes sufren por la percepción de un defecto físico imaginario. Se ha generado controversia entre los especialistas, sobre el eventual perjuicio que tendría operar a este tipo de pacientes considerando las posibles implicaciones médico-legales.Nos planteamos como objetivo el realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura para caracterizar epidemiológicamente el TDC en el contexto de la consulta de Cirugía Estética, considerando su prevalencia, comorbilidades y las consecuencias de los procedimientos quirúrgicos en la salud mental de este tipo de pacientes.Diseñamos una búsqueda sistemática en MEDLINE utilizando los términos MESH: "Body Dysmorphic Disorders" y "Surgery, Plastic". Encontramos 14 artículos, todos en inglés a los que agregamos otras 21 publicaciones relevantes. La definición de TDC más ampliamente difundida es la del DSM-IV TR. La prevalencia es significativamente mayor entre consultantes por Cirugía Estética (6-15%) que entre la población general (2,4%). Las comorbilidades más frecuentes son los trastornos depresivos, la ansiedad y trastornos del control de impulsos. Los pacientes suelen presentar pensamientos intrusivos e ideas sobrevaloradas de su imagen corporal asociados a egodistonía con escaso nivel de conciencia de la enfermedad (insight), que les lleva a padecer una mayor incidencia de intentos suicidas. Presentan además un bajo nivel de satisfacción postquirúrgica.Consideramos que es fundamental la detección del TDC en la consulta de Cirugía Estética para una derivación oportuna de estos pacientes hacia un tratamiento adecuado. Ampliar los estudios en nuestra región permitirá comparar nuestra situación local con lo publicados sobre otras poblaciones y validar así instrumentos de cribado de estos pacientes.

Nivel de evidencia científica III AbstractAlong with the boom in Cosmetic Surgery, interest has increased in understanding the patients' motivations for attending an Aesthetic Surgery consultation. Patients suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) perceive imaginary body defects, producing discomfort. Controversy has risen among experts about the possible negative outcomes that Aesthetic Surgery could have in them.Our objective is to conduct a systematic review of the published literature about BDD and Aesthetic Surgery, considering prevalence, comorbidities and consequences of surgical procedures in their mental health.We designed a MEDLINE search strategy using appropriate MeSH terms: "Body Dysmorphic Disorders" and "Surgery, Plastic".The most widely used definition is the DSM-IV TR. BDD prevalence is significantly higher among Aesthetic Surgery patients (6-15%) than in the general population (2.4%). Most common comorbidities are: depressive disorders, anxiety and impulse cont...
