What Is Body Dysmorphic Disorder?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
5. Perfectionists
Many patients will insist on having things just right, whereas others are a lot easier in regard to how things should be. While it is often a good thing to insist on high standards, it can sometimes go too far. People with body dysmorphic disorder have a tendency to be perfectionists beyond levels that are reasonable.
In their strive for perfection, patients with body dysmorphic disorder will sometimes turn to cosmetic surgery. This will end up costing considerable amounts of money in many cases. Even then, the patient will still often find themselves unhappy and insist that they need more cosmetic surgery performed.
