Cosmetic surgery and minimally invasive techniques have recently become popular. Noting the compulsive way in which many people approach these procedures, psychoanalytic scholars have conducted several studies to evaluate the possible presence of mental disorders. In this regard, Alessandra Lemma (2009, 2010a, 2010b) argued that the craving for beauty may hide narcissistic disturbances akin to those identified in Rosenfeld’s theory of narcissism (Rosenfeld, 1971, 1987), which described 2 types of narcissists: 1 thin skinned, characterized by a sense of inferiority, and the other thick skinned, characterized by a sense of grandiosity. The aim of this study was to test this hypothesis in an empirical trial by exploring the personality characteristics of people seeking both surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures with a particular emphasis on narcissism. The research sample consisted of 48 participants who were divided into 3 groups: cosmetic surgery patients (Group 1), individuals who had undergone nonsurgical cosmetic treatments (Group 2), and people who had never undergone any cosmetic treatment (Group 3). The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory—2 (MMPI–2) and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM–IV Axis II Personality Disorders (SCID–II) were administered to all of the participants. The results confirmed the presence of 2 narcissistic profiles—1 grandiose and 1 vulnerable—in both those who had undergone cosmetic surgery and those who had undergone nonsurgical cosmetic procedures; there were differences between the 2 profiles in terms of whether they were personality disorders or traits. The results also showed that individuals who had undergone cosmetic procedures reported more personality pathology and were more distressed than those who had not.

美容问题:手术和非手术美容程序的心理特征。

整容手术和微创技术最近变得流行。注意到许多人处理这些程序的强迫方式,精神分析学者进行了几项研究来评估精神障碍的可能存在。在这方面,Alessandra Lemma (2009, 2010a, 2010b) 认为对美的渴望可能隐藏自恋障碍,类似于 Rosenfeld 自恋理论 (Rosenfeld, 1971, 1987) 中确定的那些,该理论描述了两种类型的皮肤变薄者: ,特点是自卑,另一种脸皮厚,特点是浮夸。本研究的目的是通过探索寻求手术和非手术整容手术的人的个性特征,并特别强调自恋,在实证试验中检验这一假设。研究样本由 48 名参与者组成,他们分为 3 组:整容手术患者(第 1 组)、接受过非手术美容治疗的个人(第 2 组)和从未接受过任何美容治疗的人(第 3 组)。对所有参与者进行了明尼苏达多相人格量表 - 2 (MMPI-2) 和 DSM-IV 轴 II 人格障碍的结构化临床访谈 (SCID-II)。结果证实,接受过整容手术的人和接受过非手术整容手术的人都存在 2 种自恋特征——1 种夸张,1 种脆弱;这两个档案在是人格障碍还是特质方面存在差异。结果还表明,接受过整容手术的人比没有接受过整容手术的人报告了更多的人格病态,并且更加痛苦。
