Abstract

To compare new referrals to a plastic surgery clinic for cosmetic (non-medically explained) reasons with a control group of equal size with medically explained symptoms. Patients attending for cosmetic (non-medically explained) reasons were compared with the controls using the general health questionnaire (GHQ), and dysmorphic concern questionnaire (DCQ). Patients were divided into high and low DCQ scores on the basis of their median scores. Ninety subjects were approached of whom 84 (93%) participated giving 42 patients each in the cosmetic (non-medically explained) and control groups. Forty-four per cent were referred for mammoplasty (n = 37) and 8% for rhinoplasty (n = 7). The other 40 cases (48%) were for other procedures including excision, abdominoplasty and blepharoplasty. Thirty-two per cent of the sample were GHQ cases (n = 27). Patients presenting for cosmetic (non-medically explained) reasons were 13 times more likely to be female (95% CI = 4.3-41), nine times more likely to have high DCQ scores (95% CI = 3.3-24), six times more likely to be GHQ cases (95% CI = 2.1-17), and seven times more likely to present for mammoplasty. The same factors were associated with high DCQ scores. Patients with high DCQ scores were 32 ...Continue Reading
