Excess plastic surgery facts/thoughts?

I'm writing a paper about how doctors should have some kind of law (besides the hypocratic oath) that they should abide by with as far as plastic surgery. They should turn away patients if they are overdoing plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons. I was also playing around with the idea that some of the patients should be referred to a psychiatrist if their problems are serious. Do you have any opinions on this? Any links to factual data? PS. I think limited and reasonable plastic surgery is fine, and ultimately it is up to the patient to make their own decision but the doctors should have the wisdom to turn patients away or have them go to a psychiatrist. Also, I think there is nothing wrong with plastic surgery, it is a great tool for burned victims and other things like that.

1. look at this picture, it says alot http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gen/133193/HEIDI-MONTAG-PLASTIC-SURGERY-PHOTOS.jpg look how beautiful she looks before her surgery.. she didnt need any of it. she actually almost died because she had 10 surgeries in one day. i agree with you, in theory it would be reasonable to send patients to psychiatrists. but if this was to ever happen, it would probably be against the doctor's will. they make profit off patients, so they give the patients what they want and get paid for it. especially in this recession, no way any cosmetic surgeon would turn down a patient. even if they were addicted. sad but true :/
