Does anyone get body dysmorphia after facial plastic surgery such as rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Affectionate378255 in Sanger, California

I really want to get a rhinoplasty but my biggest fear is looking at myself in the mirror and not being able to recognize myself which would cause me to panic. I got lip fillers one time and immediately after getting my lip filler I started freaking out because when I looked in the mirror I felt like I was a different person. My worry about doing a rhinoplasty is that I will feel the same way but rhinoplasty is much more serious and permanent.
