What are the limits of plastic surgery?

The excess of surgeries may be related to a psychological condition characterized by an uncontrollable concern with appearance How far do the limits of surgery go? Recently, singer Rosana, 68, known for the song 'Amor e Poder', participated in a TV program and was heavily criticized on social media for the number of plastic surgeries she has undergone on her face and body. Many internet users speculate that she had a facial harmonization, while others say she looked like a human Ken doll. Singer Anitta, 29, also loves to alter her body. She revealed to the American magazine Allure that she started having plastic surgeries at the age of 20, and among the modifications she made are breast reductions, rhinoplasty, and chin reshaping. The 'Girl from Rio' said that for her, 'having [plastic surgery] is like changing your hair.' Due to these exaggerated changes, many people point out that the cause may be related to body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a psychological condition characterized by an uncontrollable concern with appearance. According to a study conducted by the Medical Sciences Faculty of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), among those with the disorder, 8% have a family member who also received the diagnosis of the disorder at some point in their lives. Plastic surgeon Ariosto Santos emphasizes that it is very important to keep in mind that the result obtained by a friend or a celebrity will not necessarily be the same as that of the patient. 'First of all, the patient needs to know that a surgical procedure involves various factors, ranging from her age and medical history to the quality of her skin. In addition, the professional performing the surgery needs to clarify all doubts and discuss expectations regarding the final result,' Ariosto informed.
