N2 - Guidelines recommend screening patients for Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) prior to cosmetic surgery to identify those who may require further psychological assessment1 but there are few validated instruments available. The aim of the current study was therefore to develop a screening questionnaire that (a) was brief, free to download and could identify people with BDD, (b) might predict either dissatisfaction with a cosmetic procedure or no change or deterioration in symptoms of BDD, and (c) may be sensitive to change after an intervention. The new scale was informed by the diagnostic criteria, expert opinion and a previous study that compared patients satisfied with cosmetic rhinoplasty with BDD patients who craved rhinoplasty but had not been able to obtain it.2
