To evaluate the psychological determinants of patient satisfaction in elective aesthetic surgery and examine the utility of preoperative psychological screening and counselling.
Conducted a cross-sectional study of 290 patients undergoing elective aesthetic surgery between March 2023 and December 2024.
Assessed psychological vulnerabilities, anxiety, body image concerns, and maladaptive behaviors using the Iowa Personality Disorder Screen (IPDS).
Analyzed demographic factors, smoking status, comorbidities, and clinical traits using descriptive statistics and z-tests.
Found reluctance to confide in others (23.79%) and bearing grudges (18.10%) as the most prevalent maladaptive traits across the 290-patient cohort (52.1% female, 47.9% male), while 3.4% had a prior history of psychiatric illness.
Smokers demonstrated significantly higher rates of mood instability (28.57%, Z = 3.67, P < .001), reluctance to confide (40.48%, Z = 16.4, P < .001), and difficulty with long-term goals (28.57%, Z = 4.05, P < .001).
