Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) About Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) I have found over the years in dealing with gynecomastia that many men also suffer from BDD. They have the first surgery and then the second and often the third. No matter how much is taken away they still see breasts. In one case during the second surgery the young man had muscle removed and created a major distortion of his chest. It is a fairly common condition and exists in various degrees. It is difficult to treat but the first option is drugs and for those that it helps it is a life saver. The most common treatment is Cognitive Behavior Therapy which reports good results for many. I believe that EMDR holds promise for many in the future. Read the links and books below for more information.
