“…Sufferers of ZD can be viewed as potential BDD patients. For the diagnosis of BDD, a structured interview followed by a screening scale is mandatory [ 4 , 16 ]. Of note, no validated BDD screening tools have questions related to SM [ 17 ], which is a substantial gap.…”

Zoom dysmorphia (ZD) is a facial dysmorphia that is triggered or aggravated by frequent virtual meetings. The frequent use of videoconferencing platforms has been linked to a distorted perception of facial images as individuals have an increased awareness of their appearance, given constant video feedback. As a result, dysmorphic concerns can develop. It is crucial to identify ZD as this condition interferes with an individual’s life and can trigger or aggravate body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). A standardized approach for screening ZD in non-psychiatric settings has yet to be defined. We discuss the features of ZD and the challenges of screening for ZD in a virtual setting. To facilitate the recognition of ZD in telehealth consultations, we propose a comprehensive ZD screening questionnaire that includes questions related to typical ZD features and a BDD-focused question. The questionnaire is concise and allows the identification of individuals with a potential ZD. A BDD assessment in such individuals should follow.

“…This complexity, coupled with the stigma surrounding mental health, often results in delayed diagnosis. 3 Patients with BDD frequently seek non-surgical or surgical aesthetic treatments, believing that altering their appearance will remedy their perceived flaws and alleviate distress. 5,6 However, their concerns often remain unchanged or may even intensify post-procedure, as underlying psychological issues are not addressed.…”

“…Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), otherwise known as body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition involving persistent, excessive preoccupation with perceived flaws in one's physical appearance with a prevalence of 2%. [1][2][3] These flaws may be minor or imagined and may not be in line with how others see them. 2,3 BDD causes significant distress and anxiety and can lead to social isolation, depression, and suicidal thoughts.…”

Aesthetic 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 non-surgical facial aesthetics. A systematic review was performed and articles that discussed screening or patient pathways for BDD in field of facial aesthetics were included. We extracted relevant information from each article on screening tools and pathways for BDD. Data were synthesised by summarising the data under column headings into a structured narrative and into new tables. Based on this synthesis, a practical pathway for BDD was constructed. Forty articles fulfilled the criteria for inclusion. Twenty-eight BDD screening tools were discussed in the included articles, and we provide an overview of these tools. Thirty-one articles discussed patient pathways for BDD, and we synthesised this information into a structured narrative. Combining these findings we present an evidence-based patient pathway for BDD for patients presenting for facial aesthetic treatments. This systematic review has resulted in the first, evidence-based, patient pathway for BDD in surgical and non-surgical facial aesthetics. This practical pathway can be used by aesthetic clinicians to identify patients with potential BDD and provide clear guidance for managing cases where BDD is suspected. It will help reduce the number of facial aesthetic procedures performed on patients with BDD, safeguard patient mental well-being and prevent further aesthetic dissatisfaction.
