A whittled-down nose, lightened skin, an unnatural cleft in the chin, a chin implant, lip augmentation, and God knows what
else - Michael Jackson was a classic case of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), Dr. Youn says.
BDD is a psychiatric condition that makes it impossible to see oneself as others do. This unrealistic view causes BDD sufferers
to undergo multiple plastic surgeries in a misguided attempt to correct a defect - one that wasn't there to begin with,
according to Dr. Youn.
