BDD & Chin Surgery – Bad Combination

BDD is short for body dysmorphic disorder, a condition that makes a person feel insecure about their body and perceive it to have an excess of flaws. A primarily mental condition, BDD is usually found to affect anyone in their teens or above.

A clinic in Victoria, Australia discovered at least 15 percent of patients suffering from this disorder visit plastic surgeons in the hopes of finding an antidote to their 'flaws'. Many of them are quite blessed in the beauty department, but the nature of the disorder is such that they will not rest until they have cosmetic surgery.

Facial surgery procedures, such as chin enhancement, cheek implants, etc. are more common among this group of people.

Chin surgery doctors need to screen a patient before consenting to perform a chin implant or an enhancement on them. As it is one of the focal points of the face, repeated chin surgery procedures demanded by a BDD patient will result in a weak and shapeless chin.

If you have a good chin reduction or enhancement specialist taking care of the operation process, chances are he will screen you out for any disorders or health problems before agreeing to perform the surgery. It is always advisable to reserve your discretion though.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for a thorough chin surgery consultation before an operation.
