An Alicia-ism for a 14th cosmetic breast surgery: “I know it will kill me. But I'd rather die trying to sort things out.”
We could have forgiven this attention-seeker anything, even the 14th breast augmentation, which everybody else is smart enough of realize is something of an overkill.
But making a statement like this is totally suicidal and Alicia better watch out the example she is setting for the scores of women suffering from body dysmorphic disorder. Individuals who display traits of this condition have an emphasized perception of their physical flaws. No matter what they do to ‘correct’ these flaws, they are still left dissatisfied.
This is why cosmetic surgery for such people is strictly advised against.
Alicia Douvall herself could be a case of BDD as evidenced by her cosmetic surgery mania. While it is understandable that people would want to correct imperfections or genetic deformities in their breast with cosmetic or reconstructive breast surgery, Alicia is pushing her body too much with the number of breast augmentation procedures she is having.
Accepting BDD is the first crucial step towards freedom from your perceived physical flaws. Doctors at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California advice against going in for a breast augmentation with an attitude like Alicia, whether you have been diagnosed with BDD or no.
