Abstract

Systemic sclerosis is a progressive fibrotic autoimmune disease which mainly affects young women causing fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. In systemic sclerosis patients, facial and hand alterations are significant as these may have an impact on body image. In fact, systemic sclerosis could cause disfigurement of the most visible parts of the body, hindering self-confidence and quality of life. Therefore, the assessment of body image in systemic sclerosis is crucial in order to optimize a tailored care of the patient. In the near future, the creation of a pathway involving dedicated specialists (psychologists, physiotherapists, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons) should become an integral part of the disease management.

身体形象和美容医学在系统性硬化症中的重要性。
系统性硬化症是一种进行性纤维化自身免疫性疾病,主要影响年轻女性,导致皮肤和内脏器官纤维化。对于系统性硬化症患者来说,面部和手部的改变非常重要,因为这可能会影响身体形象。事实上,系统性硬化症可能会导致身体最明显部位的毁容,从而影响自信心和生活质量。因此,评估系统性硬化症患者的身体形象对于优化对患者的定制护理至关重要。在不久的将来,建立一个有专门专家(心理学家、物理治疗师、皮肤科医生和整形外科医生)参与的路径,应成为疾病管理不可分割的一部分。
