It started with a girl who is 28 and has had 26 plastic surgeries done.
She was beautiful before her surgeries...now, IMHO, she looks freaky.
Here's a small clip of it...

That's so sad that so many young ladies (and men) are obsessed with perfection. I also feel that that show Extreme Makeover, and Desperate Housewives have to blame for the added insecurity. I will explain more later!

Damn, that's incredibly sad. There's too much pressure on young girls these days to fit someone else's standard of "beautiful". Sickening.
oh my god!!! She dosn't even look real. you are right she looked pretty before. if it wasn't so sad it would be funny. words cant even explain my thoughts about seeing those pictures. i didnt see the show, but what was her reasoning for all the surgeries?does she want more done? so sad.
Vanity is a right bitch.
Love the new avatar, by the way, CK.

Poor girl! She looks....well...awful! It's strange how we get to be so obsessed with looking "perfect" that we don't see exactly how perfect (in our own little way) we really are!





Very true Deni, but hey if you did a search on your very own SW, you'd see there are quite a threads PRAISING the need for "cosmetic" perfections. Change...it starts at home.Originally Posted by Deni

The sad thing is it all started to please someone else. I have nothing against cosmetic surgery if it's done in moderation and for the right reasons. I turn 34 Saturday and as i've mentioned a trillion times have three kids. I can't say i've never considered getting something done (eventually i'll have my breasts done more to combat sag than for size reasons, although thus far they're holding up real well). I just don't understand. Perfection is boring.
i saw it, very disturbing !
she looked great before, now ewwww
I think she mentioned somewhere in the program that it was only 2 surgeons who did all the surgeries, but I'm not sure.
It makes me wonder if I'm crazy for wanting a nose job. I had my breasts done six years ago, and have been considering rhinoplasty for quite some time, but that show made me second guess myself. I kept thinking, "am I addicted to plastic surgery?" I sure as hell don't want to look like that woman (not that I don't feel sorry for her)

Hey, I'm not saying it's bad- I'm just cool with the way I am (the good and the bad...). It's great if it will make you feel better- just don't go overboard like this woman did!Originally Posted by cinammonkisses




She probaly did not have any rational reason for getting those sugeries. Most likely she is suffering from body dysmophic Disorder.Originally Posted by candy courtland
A condition that I myself and Im sure many others have had some issues with.Although, her's is an extreame case.
I understand hating the way you look and wanting to change everything about your face. I have felt that way many, many times. I have stayed home and cried instead of going out- because I felt to ugly to even leave my house.
It's a really terrible thing to deal with. I have been going to counsling and trying to focus on other parts of myself other than the aesthetic.
I am making progress...slowly...but the media and the fact that my looks are what I rely on to make a living makes it even harder.
Well, she said that all her life, people were always telling her how pretty she was, etc. Then, she got married and her husband--at the time--told her that he thought her nose was too big, her boobs too small and she needed higher cheek bones (or something like that). So, she got the surgery done because of low self-esteem. Because if she was in her OWN view, beautiful, she would have told the dude to fuck off.
Then, she said it became an addiction. She was constantly finding problems that needed fixing. She also said she's been doing this for the past year and she has a little girl...who doesn't know what her mommy really looks like.
It was a very, very, very sad show. I MAY get my boobs done...but maybe not...![]()
It's just gotta suck to look in the mirror and know that you can never go back to who you used to be...




Yeah, I saw this show a few months ago it was a repeat, very very disturbing. It's so sad she can't look in the mirror and be comfortable without taking plastic surgery to the extreme. She looked good and normal before, now she looks like a freak, like she's made out of wax. And she's only 28!!! Damn.....Oprah had asked her about having more surgery and she said "oh yes there is so much more I want done"....WHAT?????She even mentioned wanting a full body lift....What's very scary are the greedy doctors who keeping operating on people like her who obviously DON'T need anymore surgery.
I always wanted a nose job, everyone has always said I didn't need one and it looked fine, although I thought it could be better. After watching shows like The Swan and Extreme Makeover, whatever thoughts I had about any plastic surgery are gone. Forget it, I'll keep what mother nature gave me. Once you start messing with things you can never go back.
Cosmetic surgery can be good for some people, if you have some kind of defect, or have an accident and need reconstructive surgery, or breast cancer and such. I think if you are a normal healthy person, if you want something done that's all fine and good. But WAY too many people think it's a quick fix for other problems in their life and that's very sad.
What will become of all these cosmetic surgery junkies as they age??? Not good, just more surgeries to "maintain" what they've started and they will look freaky like Joan Rivers.

I don't get why the plastic surgery addicts always get the same face.
It's too bad. I have a pretty good self-esteem now, but I didn't always have it. I hated my body and face. 5 years ago I would have never considered dancing.
Instead of hating my nose, I've embraced it as part of my heritage, which I can be proud of. Instead of hating my body, I try to eat things that make me feel good and avoid things that make me feel bad. I work out....stay generally healthy.
I think self-esteem is something one has to earn by identifying the things that bother them and work to fix them....instead of covering them up.





I agree, Emily. It also doesn't help when people put you down (which was her case). It's very frustrating to have a day when you think you look good, but then get put down anyway! I can't imagine how horrible she (and tons of girls like her) must feel about themselves to think that this (what they are now) is beautiful! I'm not saying it's all bad (some have procedures and come out looking great), but there can be "too much of a good thing."
Hey, that blonde was on some other show, I think it was MTV, Made or something like that..... Iguess she's getting paid to show off her freakiness, because Oprah is NOT the first show she's done.
Please don't lick me, it tickles..





well, like the debutante who started posing nude to pay for her surgeries said, if she wasn't addicted to plastic surgery, it would be another addiction.





Yikes!
That's disturbing.
Can you imagine how much 26 surgeries cost her? All that money could have gone to people who really needed it... like Project Smile or something.
Because there ain't no tits on the radio

Carved up like a Thanksgiving Turkey.
The doctor's should say "no." They really should say "Maybe you should speak to my collegue so and so about your self-esteem."
I met an old friend and she had a breast lift. Oh... my... God. Franken-titties complete with the scars.
I'm sure many doctors told her no. There is always someone out there willing to do it, and most definitely not as good as the one rejecting her.
She should have become a dancer! Then she could be told she's beautiful in 110 ways each night.
