“…The high BDD prevalence in the sample may be elevated as a clinical interview was not used to confirm diagnosis. Previous research utilising the BDDQ-DV to screen for BDD without a clinical interview or defect rating scale has identified similar prevalence estimates to this study, ranging from 12.1% to 32% of their samples screening positive for BDD (Calderón et al, 2009;Hsu et al, 2009;Spataro et al, 2020). With the addition of a clinical interview and/or a defect rating scale to confirm minimal deformity, BDD prevalence estimates reduce to 2.9% to 15.2% in cosmetic dermatology settings (Veale et al, 2016).…”

Objectives: Body dysmorphic disorder is commonly considered a contraindication for major cosmetic surgery, but whether body dysmorphic disorder relates to poorer outcomes from minor cosmetic treatment remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder in clients seeking non-surgical cosmetic procedures and to examine whether body dysmorphic disorder clients are vulnerable in minor cosmetic settings. Vulnerability was explored in terms of psychological distress, unrealistic expectations and motivations for treatment outcome, and reduced satisfaction with past cosmetic procedures. Method: A cross-sectional online survey was completed by 154 women seeking minor cosmetic procedures which included the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire – Dermatology Version to screen for body dysmorphic disorder, and measures of cosmetic treatment motivation, expectations and satisfaction. Results: Roughly 25% of women in the current sample screened positive for a potential body dysmorphic disorder diagnosis. Participants with suspected body dysmorphic disorder demonstrated higher levels of psychological distress and more unrealistic expectations and motivations for cosmetic treatment, such as improving social or romantic relationships. However, body dysmorphic disorder participants reported similar levels of satisfaction with past minor cosmetic treatments to the non–body dysmorphic disorder group. Conclusion: While the relationship between body dysmorphic disorder and treatment outcome warrants further investigation in prospective research tracking satisfaction and adverse reactions over time, this preliminary evidence suggests clients with suspected body dysmorphic disorder display several vulnerabilities in non-surgical cosmetic settings. Given the rapidly increasing accessibility of minor cosmetic procedures, further research is needed to determine their safety for clients with body dysmorphic disorder. Detection of body dysmorphic disorder in non-surgical cosmetic settings could facilitate earlier psychological intervention, promoting superior long-term outcomes.

“…It is also worth to mention the existence of two articles from Brazil 34 [117][118][119] The scientific production derived from the first line of investigation -exclusively from Brazil -reinforced the association between BDD and OCD. 116,[120][121][122] …”

Objective: medically unexplained symptoms are common and associated with mental illness in various contexts. Previous studies show that Latin American populations are prone to somatization. Given the reformulation of the International Classification of Diseases towards its ResumoObjetivo: Os sintomas sem explicação médica são frequentes e estão associados a sofrimento mental em vários contextos. Estudos prévios apontam que as populações latino-americanas são propensas à somatização. Diante da reformulação da Classificação Internacional de Doenças para sua 11ª edição, as particularidades dos nativos desta região do mundo devem ser levadas em consideração. O objetivo deste estudo é prover informações sobre somatização na população latinoamericana para a tomada de decisões quanto às categorias diagnósticas ligadas a sintomas sem explicação médica na Classificação Internacional de Doenças-11ª edição. Método: Revisão extensa da produção de 1995 a 2011 sobre somatização em populações de origem latino-americana. Resultados: A análise dos 106 estudos incluídos nesta revisão foi dividida em 15 categorias: revisões sistemáticas, revisões conceituais, prevalências, atenção primária, depressão e ansiedade, fatores de risco, violência, quadros orgânicos, relacionamento com profissionais e o sistema de saúde, etnia, síndromes ligadas à cultura, síndrome da fadiga crônica, fibromialgia, transtorno dismórfico corporal, e conversão e dissociação. Conclusão: Os estudos latino-americanos confirmam a dificuldade na definição categorial de quadros com sintomas sem explicação médica. O suposto "traço somatizador" das culturas latinas pode estar associado mais à expressão cultural e linguística do que a um caráter de natureza étnica, e tais particularidades devem estar na agenda na nova classificação destes fenômenos na Classificação Internacional de Doenças-11ª edição.

“…[6,7] Among cosmetic and dermatological patients, findings indicate that BDD is highly prevalent (up to 33%). [8][9][10] The prevalence in community samples, however, seems to be lower, from 0.7% [11] to 2.4%, [12] with females showing higher prevalence rates than males. [12] The prevalence of BDD among student populations ranges from 2.3% in Australia, [4] to 5.3% in Germany, [13] 4.8% in Turkey, [5] 4.9% in China [14] and 4.9% at an American university.…”

Prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder in Chilean dermatological patients

Abstract: could coexist. The rarities of the coexistence in the same lesion of a cavernous haemangioma with a malignant melanoma lead us to emphasize on the importance of this case.
