What was studied

This study examined clinical and gender-related patterns of aesthetic/cosmetic surgery in individuals with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) symptoms, evaluating how surgical interventions relate to BDD presentation across sexes.

Study limitations

The paper abstract/body was not provided beyond the title and metadata, so specific findings, sample sizes, and outcomes cannot be extracted or verified.

Clinical implications

Clinicians performing aesthetic procedures should screen patients for BDD symptoms, as surgery is generally contraindicated in this population and may worsen outcomes.
