Men and women who compulsively go 'under the knife' suffer from underlying mental or emotional issues and they use surgery as their outlet. They often don't realize this and act out instead of seeking help. There are no laws denying people from receiving consecutive cosmetic surgeries and if the patient has money to pay for the surgery most doctors will perform the surgery. There are few regulations on the amount of procedures a person can have, so addicts continue being operated on to their satisfaction.
