“…Usually, BDD begins in childhood or puberty. It starts always gradually and its development is related with low quality of life; however, there is no evidence of any difference of quality of life or functional loss between patients in which the disorder started early or later in life [68]. Although, depending of the history of life of the individual, the outcome of the disorder can be suicidal or other comorbidity even more severe than BDD [58,72], the majority of BDD patients have suicidal ideas (80%), and a considerable percentage of them have already presented suicidal attempts (24%) [60,69].…”

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is defined by a recurring and persistent concern characterized by psychic suffering caused by a possible physical imperfection in appearance. It is a severe psychiatric condition, duly confirmed by neuroanatomical findings, very peculiar repetitive behaviors, and specific personalities. The prevalence of BDD is increasing around the world and differs between countries, because of cultural differences and different health-care systems. This increase is worrying because BDD is a pathology that presents comorbidity like severe depression, suicidal ideation, and functional and social impairment. However, BDD is an unrecognized and often not diagnosed in our society. Many patients are ashamed of their complaints and do not usually seek psychiatric help with ease, and unfortunately, they seek help in cosmetic and surgical treatments to improve their appearance, and these professionals are not yet prepared to assist in the diagnosis of this disorder. Therefore, this chapter presents not only the psychopathology of BDD but also its associations with other pathologies and their main factors of influence. Finally, we present a clinical experience with a detailed description of a clinical case. The aim is to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology and also to future research that may benefit society and these patients.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), also known as dysmorphophobia, is a condition that consists of a distressing or impairing preoccupation with imagined or slight defects in appearance, associated repetitive behaviors and where insight regarding the appearance beliefs is often poor. Despite the fact it is relatively common, occurs around the world and can have a significant impact on a sufferer's functioning, levels of distress, and risk of suicide, the diagnosis is often missed. In this review, we outline the clinical features of BDD including as characterized in the newly published World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases 11, review the prevalence of BDD within different settings, and highlight the reasons why BDD may be underdiagnosed even within psychiatric settings. We additionally review the cultural considerations for BDD and finally discuss the evidence-based treatment approaches for BDD, particularly the use of serotonin reuptake inhibitor medication and cognitive behavioral therapy.

“…Sostienen que en Estados Unidos la prevalencia en la población general es de 2,4% (21), recogiéndose de series previas una prevalencia de entre el 0,7% al 13% (22,23). A su vez, en Brasil, la prevalencia es del 12% en población general y en Argentina, en población femenina adolescente, alcanza el 47% (24). En todos estos estudios se utilizaron distintos instrumentos diagnósticos, lo que dificulta la comparación de resultados.…”

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...
