The statistical population included all women between 20 and 50 years old who visited beauty clinics in Tehran to receive beauty services or advice on beauty services. The sample of this research includes 319 people who were selected as available. In order to collect the information needed for the research, the questionnaires of the Self-Compassion Short Form Scale (SCS-SF), the Modified Yale-Brown Obsession Scale for Body Dysmorphic Disorder Phillips (BDD-YBOCS) and the Ferreira Body Image-Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ-BI) were used. The data was analyzed with the help of structural equation modeling and according to the results of the present study, it can be stated that the meta-diagnostic factor of cognitive fusion related to body image plays a full mediating role in the relationship between self-compassion and body dysmorphic symptoms in women applying for cosmetic surgeries. In other words, it can be said that a non-judgmental attitude towards thoughts related to physical appearance gives a person the opportunity to psychologically distance himself from his thoughts and not fuses with them, and the symptoms of body dysmorphia are reduced in him. It is suggested that the results of the present study be used for the psychological training of cosmetic surgery applicants with dysmorphic syndromes, especially focusing on the concepts of self-compassion and cognitive fusion.
