Body image worries in people having jaw surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Mental health, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how common body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is in people having jaw surgery. BDD is a mental health condition where a person is very worried about a small or imaginary flaw in their appearance. The study will help doctors understand if people having this surgery might also need mental health support.
