The focus will be on problems that may arise when such patients seek a cosmetic procedure and when it may not be a good idea to a have such a procedure.\n \n Of these conditions, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is defined as a preoccupation with a perceived defect in one’s appearance, which is not noticeable to others. The preoccupation is associated with a distorted body image with many “safety seeking” behaviours such as mirror gazing, skin-picking, ruminating or constant comparing of one’s perceived defect to others. People with BDD often use strategies to camouflage and avoid situations and activities. They may have a poor quality of life, are socially isolated and at high risk of committing suicide.\n\n Download Professor Veale Profile Here\n\n DTSTART:20211109T183000Z DTEND:20211109T193000Z LOCATION:Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
