✨ Individuals with traits like narcissism, psychopathy, and manipulativeness are more open to cosmetic surgery. A study of 1,321 university students found a direct link between these "dark triad" personality characteristics and a positive attitude towards aesthetic procedures.

✨ While male students scored higher on the "dark triad" traits, female students were more likely to consider cosmetic surgery for themselves in the future. Both genders showed similar views on the personal and social benefits of aesthetic operations.

✨ Narcissism was the strongest predictor, with individuals highly valuing physical attractiveness for attention. Researchers suggest this can stem from insecurity and a quest for external validation, potentially similar to underlying issues in body dysmorphic disorder.

✨ The study, published in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery by Pakstan Faiq Mohamedamin and colleagues, recommends that plastic surgeons consider screening for personality traits that might lead to unrealistic expectations or dissatisfaction after procedures.
