Body dysmorphic disorder is a psychological issue that can lead to interpersonal conflicts. Plastic surgeons face this challenge in some patients referred for cosmetic surgery. </span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">Methods</span></b><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">: This study was conducted among 210 individuals who had officially filed a complaint regarding the results of cosmetic surgery with the Forensic Medicine Commission of Tehran, Iran</span> <span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">from Mar 2023 to March 2024. They all underwent psychological diagnostic tests for body dysmorphic disorder. The gathered data included age, sex, occupation, educational status, surgery type, forensic medical commission petition result, and psychological assessment of the nasal deformity. </span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif"><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">Results</span></b><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">: Most medical forensic plaintiffs were women undergone breast, abdomen, or nose surgeries and were not satisfied with the results. 30.5% of those undergone cosmetic surgery and filed complaints had body dysmorphic disorder; most of them had undergone facial and nose cosmetic surgery. Interestingly, most of those with this psychological disorder had achieved a positive vote from the commission (surgeon convicted) compared to those who were not diagnosed with this disorder.</span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif">&nbsp;<b>Conclusion</b>: Plastic surgeons do a screening for psychological issues such as body dysmorphic disorder before performing cosmetic surgeries. It would be best to avoid either performing cosmetic surgery for them or, at least, not choose the more invasive procedures first.</span></span></span></span><br> &nbsp; Body dysmorphic disorder, Plastic and cosmetic surgery, Forensic medicine, Surgery complications, Iran 0 0 http://wjps.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-200-20&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Javad Rahmati 100319475328460018275 100319475328460018275 No 1.
