Article Abstract
Introduction: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition defined by preoccupation with a non-existent or minimal flaw (defect) in appearance. This preoccupation causes significant social and occupational impairment, lot of distress and is not better accounted for by another mental disorder. The defect often regards the skin, face or body build. Data show that 8-14% of dermatological patients suffer from BDD, whereas in the cosmetic dermatology setting the incidence is reported as high as 8-37%. The Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire-Dermatology version (BDDQ-DV) is a screening tool that may help to diagnose patients with BDD in dermatology settings. The questionnaire is self-reported, therefore it can be used in daily dermatology practice.
Aim: To create and validate the Polish language version of the BDDQ-DV.
Material And Methods: The Polish version of BDDQ-DV was created in accordance with international standards. To assess reliability of the questionnaire the Cronbach's α coefficient was used. The reproducibility (test-retest reliability) of the Polish language version of the questionnaire was evaluated using the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) coefficient.
Results: The Polish version of BDDQ-DV was created. The Cronbach's α coefficient based on the first completion of the questionnaire was 0.92 indicating a correspondingly high internal consistency between the questions of the questionnaire. ICC was assessed at 0.998, which indicates excellent reliability.
Conclusions: The Polish version of BDDQ-DV may help to identify patients with BDD among Polish-speaking individuals.

Introduction: Periorbital melanosis (POM) is a poorly defined condition that is becoming an increasing aesthetic concern. With its multifactorial origin, it necessitates a thorough assessment of targeted multimodal treatments. The psychological impact and underlying pathogenesis have been underexplored, as evidenced by the gap between the roughly 100 indexed articles and the 150 million search engine results on treatments for dark circles.

Introduction: The Australian medical board, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) has recently introduced new regulations mandating providers of cosmetic surgery undertake a clinical screen for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) in all potential cosmetic surgery patients. The assessment must be conducted by the surgeon using a validated psychological screening tool. The aims of this paper are to discuss the key clinical characteristics of BDD before reviewing currently validated screening tools that would meet this new regulatory requirement, and which may be most applicable to a busy plastic surgery practice.

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by profound concern about a minor or imagined defect in the appearance of individuals and increased preoccupation with the imagined/perceived defect. Individuals with BDD often undergo cosmetic intervention for the perceived imperfection but rarely experience improvement in their signs and symptoms after such treatment. It is recommended that aesthetic providers evaluate individuals face-to-face and screen for BDD with approved scales preoperatively to determine the candidate's suitability for the procedure.

Background: The body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is considered to be a sub-form of somatoform disorders. BDD can express itself in a delirious experience, an excessive evaluation and employment of the external appearance, in particular the face. Preliminary results suggest that individuals with BDD do not benefit from plastic surgery, so that aesthetic surgery often results in aggravation of their symptoms.
