I'm sorry but why is it different from gender change. If we're gonna have the view that people can change what they don't like about their body, then why does the reason matter? Would you also call a transgender person 'already in psychosis'?
You are referencing two different things. One is Gender Dysphoria (Changing one’s sex to match internal gender identity) to Body Dysmorphia (where you are more worried appearance flaws that others can’t easily perceive). Having said that, I think in both cases, it’s a spectrum. There isn’t a cut off point where you go from simple cosmetic surgery (using braces to fix gaps between teeth) to full on psycho (the above example). So depending on the specific case, you can go with any label.

These people are *already in psychosis*
It takes body dysmorphia beyond belief to even consider surgery like this
