Abstract

Objective: To identify the factors and their influence on women’s body dissatisfaction. Methods: The study corresponds to a bibliographic review used to identify causes and effects regarding eating habits in women who underwent cosmetic plastic surgery. Articles addressing aesthetic procedures in women were selected and articles on the bariatric surgery procedure were excluded. Results: Of the 30 articles found, 12 did not meet the inclusion criteria of year of publication, language and central theme. As for the language, 17 articles (96.94%) were published in Portuguese and 01 (3.06%) in English. From the years of publication, most articles came from 2014 (62.5%) and after 2010 (37.5%). From the analysis of the selected studies, it was observed that women were not completely satisfied with their body image after plastic surgery and maintained negative behaviors in search of good aesthetics. Conclusion: It is concluded that there are two types of triggers for body dissatisfaction: social factors and physiological factors. When analyzing them it was found that both do not feel comfortable in relation to the body, however, the dissatisfaction for social factors is mitigated through surgical aesthetic procedures while that triggered by physiological factors, this is through the performance of a multiprofessional team since this dissatisfaction has a psychological nature.
