There’s nothing about surgery that’s addictive. You’re addicted to the validation you feel, which is a sign of deeper unresolved issues relating to self-worth. Surgery can never resolve those underlying issues, but surgeons will keep taking money to tweak just a little more. You’re never going to solve a psychological problem with surgery alone; you need to explore the roots of your feelings of inadequacy, identify why you crave this kind of validation, and develop strategies to manage those feelings in less extreme ways.
