“…59,[65][66][67] If abuse and neglect create body shame and therefore motivate patients to undergo plastic surgery, as we postulate, several trauma-related phenomena that plastic surgeons observe could be better explained: patients are poor historians of their surgery and do not remember what they have been told 80 ; they dislike multiple body areas 55,56,81-84 ; they cannot remember or dissociate from their prior surgical complications and therefore cannot accurately assess surgical risks 85 ; they are inappropriately anxious, untrusting, and require endless reassurance 60,72,[86][87][88][89][90][91] ; they are compelled to undergo more surgery despite good outcomes ("compulsive reenactment") 72,78,92 ; they indulge in selfdestructive behavior 72 or substance abuse 72 ; they blame surgeon or staff for events that cannot be controlled ("scapegoating") 93 or put themselves unnecessarily at risk ("revictimization") 75 ; and they may claim that they have been mistreated or victimized by the surgeon. 58,59,[65][66][67][68]70,75,[94][95][96][97] It is easy to imagine how the tormenting cacophony of these memory and processing disturbances could create the behavior that we clinicians interpret as depressed or demanding conduct, and that gives secondary rhinoplasty patients such unflattering reputations.…”
