Abstract
Liposuction is the most common aesthetic surgical procedure performed globally. Some of the patients with normal weight who seek liposuction may suffer from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Leptin, which is mainly produced by adipose tissue, may be associated with this condition. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of BDD and leptin levels in patients with normal weight seeking liposuction.
