ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cosmetic procedures
have been growing recently among men and women. Cosmetics
procedures refer to both surgical and non-surgical procedures. For example, rhinoplasty
(nose surgery), surgical face-lifts, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and
liposuction, etc. referred to surgical procedures. In contrast, procedures such
as chemical peels, filler, and botulinum toxin injections, laser skin
resurfacing, vein removal, and laser hair removal are collectively referred to
as non-surgical procedures. In recent years cosmetics surgeries have decreased
while people have moved towards non-invasive cosmetic procedures.
Objective: Knowledge, Attitude,
and Practice of Cosmetic procedure among the population of Al-Majmaah, Saudi
Arabia, 2019-2020.
Methodology: This is an observational cross-sectional study targeted Al- Majma’ah population. Half of the participants were
asked to complete an electronic questionnaire and the remaining completed a
paper-based questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into four parts:
Socio-Demographic Data, Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of cosmetic
procedures. Data were analyzed by using SPSS v.25. In addition, Pearson
Chi-square tests applied to determine associations between qualitative
variables.
Results: Most of the participants were aged between 18-25 years. The majority were
female. All of them have heard about cosmetic procedures. Social media was the
most common source of information. More than half of the participants
recognized different types of cosmetic procedures. More than two-thirds of them
believed low self-esteem affects decisions about cosmetic procedures. Only 146
reported undergoing cosmetic procedures, where most of them underwent
liposuction and hair removal. Personal desire was the primary source of motivation.,Whereas
self satisfaction was the commonest cause for not considering such procedures.
244 of the participants reported their relatives had undergone cosmetic
procedures
Conclusion: Most of the
participants had poor to moderate levels of knowledge regarding Cosmetic
procedures. Most of the participants had a positive attitude regarding such a
procedure. The prevalence of cosmetic procedures is somewhat uncommon as about
one-third of the participants underwent surgical and non-surgical procedures.
