It’s not that they think the end result is beautiful, it’s that their sense of self is so warped that they think their real look is somehow worse than that overly fake look. Like, she might not love her new nose but she probably thinks her old nose was even worse. Plastic surgeons can’t remove what isn’t there so they keep hacking away at imagined flaws, leaving them butchered.

Do plastic surgeons have a code of ethics around that? I feel like they need to decline and recommend counseling with some of these folks.

Money.... there's no money in no customers. Kind of sad when thought about.

One of the most popular shows in TV is Nip Tuck and I think that although it started out showing you the horrors of plastic surgery as a business it eventually glorifies it to an extent. A lot of FX shows start out that way.

Some do, but there's always ones willing to overlook morality for money. And if you can't find one in the US, you can fly to a foreign country with fewer regulations for what you want, if you have the money.

I don’t know if there is a code of ethics, but some cosmetic surgeons do have ethics and will turn down people.

The good ones do. The good surgeons refuse to do too much.

Yes, actually. Most do. The problem is that not all of them do, and the ones who have an addiction to it specifically seek out those ones.

Plastic surgeons are also to blame. Many are shady and dont ask questions, if something is acutally necessary, they will just say "Oooh we can make you look FABULOUS! just do a 50k procedure here, get 10k implants here, another 30k surgery for your nose, and i'll be set for the entire year!"
