Most patients who seek appearance-enhancing medical treatments report some degree of body image dissatisfaction, which is believed to motivate the pursuit of these treatments. However, patients with extreme body image dissatisfaction may be suffering from a psychiatric disorder known as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). This article reviews BDD, including its clinical features and prevalence in medical settings. Although patients with BDD frequently seek cosmetic treatments to address their appearance-related distress, such treatments are rarely beneficial. The article concludes with recommendations for patient and provider safety.
大多数寻求美容医疗的患者都表示在一定程度上对自己的身体形象不满意,据信正是这种不满促使他们寻求这些治疗。然而,对身体形象极度不满的患者可能患有一种名为身体变形障碍(BDD)的精神疾病。本文回顾了身体变形障碍,包括其临床特征以及在医疗环境中的患病率。尽管患有身体变形障碍的患者经常寻求美容治疗来缓解与外表相关的痛苦,但此类治疗很少有效果。文章最后给出了关于患者和医疗人员安全的建议。
