An Evidence-based Pathway for Body Dysmorphic Disorder in Facial Aesthetics
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/a-2244-1066Aesthetic procedures should be avoided in patients with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) since they can negatively impact mental health and lead to further aesthetic dissatisfaction. There are no evidence-based patient pathways for BDD in facial aesthetics which can result in the failure to identify patients with BDD, leading to unsuitable treatments and suboptimal patient care. We aim to construct the first evidence-based patient pathway for BDD in surgical and nonsurgical facial aesthetics. A systematic review was performed and articles that discussed screening or patient pathways ...

Surgical Rhinoplasty in Mild Forms of Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Safety, Protocols, and Long-Term Outcomes
This study shows that in the presence of safe protocols, including a two-specialist model, safe outcomes can be expected even in the long term. Further, the request for revision surgery appears to be common in borderline to mild BDD cases, and we like to warn the patients against it before surgery.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder: A Decade of Mandatory Psychiatric Evaluation in Cosmetic Rhinoplasty Aspirants
Facial Plast Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1779045The aim of rhinoplasty is to make the patient happier with their nose. The patient's perception plays a substantial role in their outcome satisfaction. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is an obsessive-compulsive disorder concerning body image, which negatively distorts the patient's perception, rendering them dissatisfied with the outcome even if the results are close to the defined objectives. In this paper, we present a protocol with a two-specialist approach (rhinoplasty surgeon and a psychiatrist) to standardize BDD diagnosis using the DSM-5 criteria. The patients deemed suita...

Prevalence of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) among the Lebanese University students: Associated risk factors and repercussion on mental health
Conclusion:This pioneering study in Lebanon sheds light on the prevalence of BDD among Lebanese university students and its associated factors. BDD was found to be significantly linked to elevated levels of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, along with lower levels of self-esteem and religiosity. These findings underscore the importance of early detection of BDD during adolescence and young adulthood, necessitating timely psychological intervention to prevent chronicity and complications. Moreover, promoting widespread awareness through various social media and public platforms is essential to address this psycholo...

Time to Response in Therapy for Body Dysmorphic Disorder: A Comparison of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Supportive Psychotherapy
Behav Ther. 2024 Jan;55(1):68-79. doi: 10.1016/j.beth.2023.05.006. Epub 2023 May 24.ABSTRACTPsychotherapy has been shown to be effective for individuals with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD); however, time to treatment response for different treatments have not yet been examined. We randomized 120 patients to either weekly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or supportive psychotherapy (SPT) at two academic medical research centers. In this secondary data analysis, we aimed to determine the time to first response (30% or greater reduction in BDD symptom severity) in both treatment conditions among those who attended at least ...

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

Disturbed interoception in body dysmorphic disorder: A framework for future research
Aust N Z J Psychiatry. 2023 Dec 6:48674231215030. doi: 10.1177/00048674231215030. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBody dysmorphic disorder is a severe psychiatric condition characterised by a preoccupation with a perceived appearance flaw or flaws that are typically not observable to others. Although significant advances in understanding the disorder have been made in the past decade, current explanations focus on cognitive, behavioural and visual perceptual disturbances that contribute to the disorder. Such a focus does not consider how perception of the internal body or interoception may be involved, despite (1) clinical o...
