Özet
Objective: Previous studies conducted in different populations have stated that demographical and psychological factors such as low self-esteem and body image are important motivations to undergo minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. This study investigates these factors that are expected to predict motivation for such procedures in Turkish women. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in August 2020 using an online survey with the virtual snowball method. The participants completed a questionnaire that investigated their sociodemographic variables, psychiatric disorder history, cosmetic procedures, motivation sources; including questions from the Rosenberg Self-Esteem and Body-Cathexis Scale. Results: The data of 1,244 women were included. 62% have had some sort of cosmetic procedure. The most commonly performed was laser procedures (79.5%). The most important source of information and motivation was doctors. There was a positive correlation among increasing age, graduating university, having a job, having a high monthly income, and the rate of cosmetic procedures. The presence of a psychiatric disease did not decrease this rate. While there was no correlation between body perception, self-esteem scores and the total rates of cosmetic procedures, the self-esteem scores of those who had botulinum toxin injection, dermal fillers, and platelet-rich plasma were higher than those who had other procedures. Conclusion: This study provides information about psychosocial factors that predict interest in minimal cosmetic procedures. Unlike previously known predictors, body image and self-esteem were not effective. The results may contribute to a better understanding of the factors that may be motivational for undergoing cosmetic procedures. © 2021 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
