Demi Moore rocks it. Reportedly spending half a mill on procedures from lipo to a boob job, she still looks good. She’s living proof that knowing when to stop cosmetic surgery is the key. A few folks in the limelight haven’t quite mastered the art – think Carrot Top, Bruce Jenner, and Joan Rivers, who says, “Plastic surgery has everything to do with how a person feels about him or herself. There is no such thing as too much.”
Or is there? Can you become addicted to plastic surgery? Absolutely. Consider 49-year-old Nileen Namita, who has spent more than 20 years, and $360,000 dollars, transforming her once average features into that of legendary Queen Nefertiti. After multiple procedures Nileen bears no resemblance to her former self.
Check out pics of the infamous Cat Lady, Jocelyn Wildenstein, a New York socialite or 50 year old Sarah Burge, who has had more than 100 procedures in her quest to look like Barbie. Burge has been crowned the most plastic lady by “Guinness Book of World Records.”
What’s behind plastic surgery addiction, or, it’s more politically correct name – “plastic sugery enthusiast”? Docs say these folks may very well suffer from body dysmorphic disorder, a condition that causes them to fixate obsessively on their appearance.
Think someone you know may have a problem with plastic surgery? Two red flags include unrealistic expectations (think: Barbie) combined with a refusal to listen to what their surgeon advises.
