A member asked:
Should cosmetic plastic surgeons be required to evaluate patients for body-dysmorphic disorder before operating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes they should: However not all surgeons consult with psychologists before plastic surgery. I have been asked to evaluate patients a few times for plastic surgery and for bipass surgery. It makes sense to be more cautious about the psychological impact of these type of surgery.
