The appearance of psychiatric disorders among plastic surgery patients is well-known, and its frequency is higher than in other surgical branches. There is evidence that these patients may suffer from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a mental disorder characterized by excessive concern about some imaginary or slight physical defect, causing significant clinical discomfort, social deterioration, and losses in other important areas of the individuals' activity. We present a typical case of BDD and discuss diagnostic criteria and the proper attitude the plastic surgeon should adopt toward this kind of patient.
整形手术患者中精神疾病的出现是众所周知的，其发生率高于其他外科分支。有证据表明，这些患者可能患有躯体变形障碍（BDD），这是一种精神障碍，其特征是过度关注一些想象中的或轻微的身体缺陷，导致严重的临床不适、社会功能退化以及个人活动其他重要领域的损失。我们展示了一例典型的BDD病例，并讨论了诊断标准以及整形外科医生对这类患者应采取的正确态度。
