“…BDD é uma condição de saúde mental caracterizada por preocupação obsessiva com falhas percebidas na aparência. 8 Neste estudo, a maioria dos entrevistados considera a pele muito importante na autoimagem e observa-se que este fenômeno é mais pronunciado entre a população feminina, em bissexuais e em estudantes. A pele desempenha um papel significativo na autoimagem porque é o maior órgão do corpo e o mais visível.…”

Fundamentos: A pandemia do COVID-19 ampliou o uso de tecnologias de interação social, conectando os indivíduos virtualmente. Essa mudança trouxe uma nova tendência de insatisfações com a aparência induzida pelas mídias sociais, motivando a busca excessiva por procedimentos estéticos. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto gerado pelo uso de apps na pandemia sobre a autoimagem dos entrevistados por sexo biológico, idade e renda familiar. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal, com 350 participantes, de faixa etária 18 anos ou mais, residentes no estado de São Paulo - Brasil, por meio de divulgação online de um formulário eletrônico. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados e analisados por teste qui quadrado e de Cochran, sendo cruzadas as variáveis renda, idade e sexo biológico. Resultados: Do total, 69,71% alegam mudanças na maneira que se veem fisicamente durante a pandemia; 58,3% relatam que os aplicativos influenciam na sua autoimagem, visto que 70,6% das respostas são mulheres entre 18-29 anos; 73,9% das mulheres de todas as idades e rendas reconheceram a importância da pele para a autoimagem, sendo esse dado discrepante entre as faixas etárias dos homens. Conclusões: O uso dos aplicativos na pandemia impactou sobre a autoimagem dos participantes, levando-os a terem maior interesse em obter futuros tratamentos e procedimentos estéticos.

“…Virtual meeting platforms (collectively termed “Zoom”) have met a recent surge in popularity [ 10 ]. However, such systems can lead to a distorted perception of facial images as individuals have an increased awareness of their appearance, are given constant video feedback, and start focusing on features they perceive as flawed.…”

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.
