Although media and advertising do play a large role in influencing many people's lives, such as by making people believe plastic surgery to be an acceptable course to change one's identity to their liking,<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1177/1749975510391583 |title='I Want to Look Like That!': Cosmetic Surgery and Celebrity Culture |journal=Cultural Sociology |volume=5 |issue=4 |pages=463–477 |year=2011 | vauthors = Elliott A |citeseerx=10.1.1.1028.8768 |s2cid=145370171 }}</ref> researchers believe that plastic surgery obsession is linked to psychological disorders such as [[body dysmorphic disorder]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ribeiro RV | title = Prevalence of Body Dysmorphic Disorder in Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Patients: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis | journal = Aesthetic Plastic Surgery | volume = 41 | issue = 4 | pages = 964–970 | date = August 2017 | pmid = 28411353 | doi = 10.1007/s00266-017-0869-0 | s2cid = 29619456 }}</ref> There exists a correlation between those with BDD and the predilection toward cosmetic plastic surgery in order to correct a perceived defect in their appearance.<ref name=PMJBDD>{{cite journal | vauthors = Veale D | title = Body dysmorphic disorder | journal = Postgraduate Medical Journal | volume = 80 | issue = 940 | pages = 67–71 | date = February 2004 | pmid = 14970291 | pmc = 1742928 | doi = 10.1136/pmj.2003.015289 }}</ref>

BDD is a disorder resulting in the individual becoming "preoccupied with what they regard as defects in their bodies or faces". Alternatively, where there is a slight physical anomaly, then the person's concern is markedly excessive.<ref name=PMJBDD /> While 2% of people have body dysmorphic disorder in the United States, 15% of patients seeing a dermatologist and cosmetic surgeons have the disorder. Half of the patients with the disorder who have cosmetic surgery performed are not pleased with the aesthetic outcome. BDD can lead to suicide in some people with the condition. While many with BDD seek cosmetic surgery, the procedures do not treat BDD, and can ultimately worsen the problem. The psychological root of the problem is usually unidentified; therefore causing the treatment to be even more difficult. Some say that the fixation or obsession with correction of the area could be a sub-disorder such as anorexia or muscle dysmorphia.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Miller MC | title = What is body dysmorphic disorder? | journal = The Harvard Mental Health Letter | volume = 22 | issue = 1 | page = 8 | date = July 2005 | pmid = 16193565 }}</ref> The increased use of body and facial reshaping applications such as [[Snapchat]] and [[Facetune]] have been identified as potential triggers of BDD. Recently, a phenomenon referred to as '[[Snapchat dysmorphia]]' has appeared to describe people who request surgery to resemble the edited version of themselves as they appear through Snapchat filters.<ref>{{cite press release |publisher=Boston Medical Center |title=A new reality for beauty standards: How selfies and filters affect body image |url=https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-08/bmc-anr080118.php |website=EurekAlert! |access-date=4 February 2019}}</ref> In response to the detrimental trend, Instagram banned all augmented reality (AR) filters that depict or promote cosmetic surgery.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-50152053|title=Instagram bans 'cosmetic surgery' filters|date=23 October 2019|website=[[BBC News]] }}</ref>

In some cases, people whose physicians refuse to perform any further surgeries, have turned to "[[self-surgery|do it yourself]]" plastic surgery, injecting themselves and facing extreme safety risks.<ref>{{Cite news| vauthors = Canning A | title = Woman's DIY Plastic Surgery 'Nightmare' | newspaper = ABC News | date = 20 July 2009 | url = https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=8080723&page=1 }}</ref>
