Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Introduction: The evolution of beauty ideals in our modern societies, conveyed by the omnipresence of social networks and screens in our daily lives, transcends the obsession with body image and modifies the use of cosmetic surgery in a simple medical act. We're going to see how we pass from therapeutic into aesthetics surgery in the case of bichectomy. Objectives: The main aims of this research are to: explain why bichectomy is an operation that has seen an increase in procedures over the last 6 years and how a therapeutic operation has become almost exclusively cosmetic. Also, is to understand the challenges of the dental or maxillofacial surgeon in relation to this type of procedure and their role in relation to patients. Material and methods: A literature search was performed on PubMed; Cochrane Library; Plastic and reconstructive surgery Journal; Juniper Publishers; The British Medical Journal and Google scholar databases using the following keywords MeSH: “Dentist patient relation”; “Clinical ethics”; “Maxillofacial procedure”; “Oral surgery procedure”; “Fat pad surgery”; “Body Dysmorphic Disorder”. Results: 12 articles were selected between 2016 and 2022 with relevant interest for this work. Bichectomy is a trendy operation. Although it has a therapeutic purpose in the first place, it is now used for aesthetic purposes. The number of cases of bichectomy is on the increase. It highlights the evolution of our Western beauty ideals. Conclusions: What is causing this increase in the number of bichectomy is the alienization trend, fed by social networks. Which in turn triggers behavioural disorders such as body dysmorphic disorder. There is a co-relation between all these terms.
