    You’re talking specifically about body dysmorphia. Other things can be dysmorphic, it basically just means malformed

      I’m hard pressed to find any definition or use of the word “dysmorphia” that isn’t directly related to perception of one’s body. The word “dysmorphic” could be used to describe a malformed body part regardless of how the person feels about it, but malformed is a much more common way to describe that. “Dysmorphia” though seems to only describe an internal experience related to the perception of one’s body
