This reminds me of body dysmorphic disorder, where people are never satisfied with how they look no matter how many surgeries they have. Like Wacko Jacko.
I saw a BBC doc on this and it was riveting. There was this one young woman who was on her seventh nose job, and she had looked perfectly pretty with her real nose. Somehow her disorder caused her to believe that she was hideously ugly. Even after the nose jobs she still hid her face behind the brim of a hat or her hair and would not appear on camera because she thought she looked so disgusting. It was very sad.
