Abstract :
Purpose: The aim of the current study was to systematically review the effectiveness studies conducted on women's cosmetic surgery in the last 5 years (2018-2023). Methodology: This study is a type of secondary research and is considered a systematic review according to the implementation method. Document analysis method was used to collect data, which included all published effectiveness studies (2018-2023) and a total of 16 studies were examined. The information obtained was made by the researcher's checklist tool and the summary of the contents was presented in the form of a table. Findings: What emerged from the review of articles published in the last 5 years was that the treatments that were targeted include positive psychotherapy; schema therapy; cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approach; interpersonal psychotherapy; self-belief based on choice theory; metacognitive therapy; emotion regulation skills; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; body appreciation training; Self-healing training and cognitive therapy are based on mindfulness, and among them, therapy based on acceptance and commitment has received more attention. Conclusion: Despite the steep trend toward cosmetic surgery and the proof of the existence of psychological disorders and problems in people applying for cosmetic surgery, few researches have been recorded in the field of applying effective psychological treatments; Therefore, it is necessary for future researchers to pay special attention to this category.
