Prevalence of minimally invasive facial cosmetic surgery and its association with mental health among college students in Kuwait
The findings highlight the multifaceted nature of MIFCS and its substantial association with mental health issues among undergraduate students. Gender, age, marital status, and a personal or family history of physical and mental health disorders, particularly anxiety, are all key risk factors. Conversely, enrollment in medical disciplines was associated with lower odds of undergoing MIFCS. These findings highlight the importance of including mental health support and psychotherapy in clinical practices to offer holistic care for students' well-being.
