I truly don't believe they are symptoms of BDD. What you're describing doesn't sound pathological, crippling or dangerous, so I doubt it's anything that should make you worry.
If you find your chase for physical perfection limits you in other ways, it's something you might want to try to overcome, though, even if it isn't BDD. Volunteer to work with troubled kids or elderly people. Find other things in yourself to appreciate; you are far more than your physical self. We all are. :)
Do you think I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder?
