Abstract
Background: Psychological disorders play a crucial yet often overlooked role in medical aesthetic disputes. Patients with underlying psychological conditions may have unrealistic expectations, leading to dissatisfaction and legal conflicts.
Objectives: This review aims to explore the impact of psychological disorders on medical aesthetic disputes, analyze their prevalence, and discuss strategies to mitigate associated risks.
Methods: A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted, focusing on the relationship between psychological disorders-such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), anxiety, and depression-and medical aesthetic disputes. Key factors influencing patient satisfaction and dispute resolution were examined.
Results: Psychological disorders are significantly associated with higher dissatisfaction rates and increased risk of conflicts in aesthetic medicine. Inadequate psychological screening and poor communication between practitioners and patients contribute to these disputes. Implementing thorough psychological assessments and improving patient selection criteria can help reduce conflict and enhance treatment outcomes.
Conclusions: Understanding and addressing psychological disorders in aesthetic patients is essential for reducing disputes and improving patient satisfaction. Integrating mental health evaluations into aesthetic practice, along with better communication strategies, can help prevent conflicts and optimize clinical outcomes. Collaboration between aesthetic professionals and mental health specialists is recommended to ensure comprehensive patient care.

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides a forum for original articles advancing the art of aesthetic plastic surgery. Many describe surgical craftsmanship; others deal with complications in surgical procedures and methods by which to treat or avoid them. Coverage includes "second thoughts" on established techniques, which might be abandoned, modified, or improved. Also included are case histories; improvements in surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and operating room equipment; and discussions of problems such as the role of psychosocial factors in the doctor-patient and the patient-public interrelationships.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is covered in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, SciSearch, Research Alert, Index Medicus-Medline, and Excerpta Medica/Embase.
