“…Studies of younger women indicate that interest in cosmetic surgery is predicted by social (e.g., rejection sensitivity, Calogero, Park, Rahemtulla, & Williams, 2010;attachment anxiety, Davis & Vernon, 2002;teasing, Markey & Markey), cultural (e.g., materialism, Henderson-King & Brooks, 2009;internalization of sociocultural messages, Henderson-King & Brooks, 2009;Markey & Markey, 2009), and personal (e.g., weight status, body dissatisfaction;194 J.

“…Extending prior research on cosmetic surgery attitudes (Brown, Furnham, Glanville, & Swami, 2007;Henderson-King & Henderson-King, 2005;Sarwer et al, 2005;, the present study investigates objectification theory variables (i.e., sexual objectification, self-surveillance, body shame) as a specific set of interpersonal and intrapersonal factors that may be associated with womenÕs endorsement of cosmetic surgery as an acceptable means of changing their physical appearance. Specifically, this cross-sectional investigation examines the relationship between objectification theory variables and cosmetic surgery attitudes among a sample of women living in the U.K., a cultural context within which women consistently report high levels of appearance concerns, sexual and self-objectification, and interest in cosmetic surgery (Calogero, 2009;Calogero, Park, Rahemtulla, & Williams, 2010;Calogero & Thompson, 2009a;Dittmar et al, 2000;Grogan 2008;McLaren, Kuh, Hardy, & Gauvin, 2004;Puwar, 2004;Swami, Chamorro-Premuzic, Bridges, & Furhman, 2009). This research provides a new test and application of objectification theory to the understanding of womenÕs lived experiences in westernized societies.…”

“…Researchers have linked a variety of interpersonal and intrapersonal variables to peopleÕs attitudes toward cosmetic surgery (Sarwer, Magee, & Clark, 2003;Sarwer, Wadden, Pertschuk, & Whitaker, 1998;, such as negative body image (Brown, Furnham, Glanville, & Swami, 2007;Markey & Markey, 2009), appearance-based self-esteem (Delinsky, 2005), attachment anxiety (Davis & Vernon, 2002), Big-Five personality traits (Swami, Chamorro-Premuzic, Bridges, & Furnham, 2009), previous personal or vicarious experiences with cosmetic surgery , intense-personal celebrity worship (Swami, Taylor, & Carvalho, 2009), materialism and parental attitudes (Henderson-King & Brooks, 2009), appearance-related teasing (Markey & Markey, 2009;, internalized media appearance ideals (Sarwer et al, 2005;Sperry et al, 2009), and appearanceRunning head: OBJECTIFICATION THEORY AND COSMETIC SURGERY 7 based rejection sensitivity (Calogero, Park, et al, 2010;Park, Calogero, Harwin, & DiRaddo, 2009;Park, Calogero, Young, & DiRaddo, in press). …”

This study investigated cosmetic surgery attitudes within the framework of objectification theory. One hundred predominantly White, British undergraduate women completed self-report measures of impression management, global self-esteem, interpersonal sexual objectification, self-surveillance, body shame, and three components of cosmetic surgery attitudes. As expected, each of the objectification theory variables predicted greater consideration of having cosmetic surgery in the future. Also, as expected, sexual objectification and body shame uniquely predicted social motives for cosmetic surgery, whereas self-surveillance uniquely predicted intrapersonal motives for cosmetic surgery. These findings suggest that womenÕs acceptance of cosmetic surgery as a way to manipulate physical appearance can be partially explained by the degree to which they view themselves through the lenses of sexual and self-objectification.

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. Palabras clave Cirugía Estética,Síndrome dísmórfico corporal, Selección de 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...
