Specialist warns about the importance of evaluating emotional health before cosmetic surgery

The article discusses the importance of evaluating emotional and psychological health before undergoing aesthetic surgery. Experts warn that some patients may have body dysmorphic disorder (TDC), which leads them to seek procedures with unrealistic expectations. According to a study published in the journal Cirugía Plástica Ibero-Latinoamericana, between 6% and 15% of people seeking aesthetic procedures suffer from TDC. Beatriz Hincapié, CEO of Mentoring Medic, emphasizes that aesthetic surgery cannot resolve deep emotional conflicts and advises identifying signs such as disproportionate expectations, pressure from others, recent emotional crises, and multiple unsatisfactory procedures. She also highlights the role of social media in increasing pressure to meet unrealistic beauty standards.
