Another thing...

LMM: if you drop the concept of perfection altogether - just drop it once and for all - you would conquer the ideology that underlies BDD. I realize that BDD is a MH concern, and, as such, is very complex, but on the ideological level, BDD comes from the belief that the body is imperfect. Underlying the belief that the body is imperfect (or, that any generic thing is imperfect) is the idea that somebody else's body (or, somebody else's generic whatever) is perfect. It seems that the most direct way to deal with BDD is via realizing that people are not perfect. Again, to the extent that it is a MH disorder, it must be really complex, but as a concept, it is based on the wrongly held idea of perfection.
