Abstract
This study indicates that both self perception and perception of self in relation to others, especially fear of being judged by others, significantly relates to body image dissatisfaction in this patient group. Psychological assessment of patients' suitability for aesthetic surgery should consider factors such as the patients' interpersonal functioning. Psychological intervention targeted at symptoms of depression, difficulties with self-esteem and interpersonal functioning may be of significant benefit to patients either prior to undergoing surgery or as an alternative to aesthetic surgery.
