This study has been conducted to investigate the relationship between body image and emotional maturation with histrionic personality disorder (HPD) in women seeking plastic surgery. This was a descriptive-correlational study. The population included all 20-35 years old women who applied for plastic surgery in Abadan in 2017 and referred to these centers for cosmetic surgeries. The sample included 111 women who were selected through the convenience sampling method and answered to Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), Social Maturation Scale (SMS) and Millon Multidisciplinary Inventory (MMI). The collected data were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression analysis (ENTER) using SPSS20. The results indicated that satisfaction with body image positively and lack of emotional maturity negatively were associated with HPD and predicted it (P<0.01). The results of this study have important implications for the planning of therapeutic interventions for women applicants for plastic surgery.
