Want a rhinoplasty: Will doctors perform cosmetic surgery on someone diagnosed with body dysmorphia?

Plucky674377Feb 13, 2022
Hi! Im looking forward to booking a consultation this year for a rhinoplasty. However I’m unsure if doctors will turn me away due to me suffering from severe body dysmorphia to the point it’s very hard to leave my bedroom (I’m currently in therapy for this). So with knowing this would doctors say that booking a consultation is a waste of money? And would it lead to an instant decline for surgery? My biggest worry is losing hundreds of dollars on a consultation that leads nowhere. Thank you!
