Plastic surgery addictions are usually easy to detect. Obviously, patients who have had countless cosmetic surgeries, either on the same body part or on different body parts, are typical addicts.
Addicts commonly obsess about specific body parts of an admired celebrity. For example, a patient may request Angelina Jolie's lips, Jennifer Lopez's backside (butt implants), Naomi Campbell's cheekbones, and so forth. Plastic surgery addicts consider these celebrities the epitome of beauty, and will go to any lengths to achieve their desired qualities. Yet, addicts fail to realize that each person has unique features, and trying to tailor our looks behind someone else's is a recipe for disaster.
