They act like they didn’t know the consequences of plastic surgery. I doubt all of them are gonna stop
It’s different to read about it than meet the person face to face. See the scars.
If they where real addicts they wouldn't have been convinced to not go through with it, especially if they're the types with body dysmorphia these no matter what is said or shown to them they will still get it done and many times people only realise their mistakes once they already fucked up, while some never see anything wrong with how they destroyed themselves. I don't think the people on this video are real addicts, they are beginners in the field so to speak.
This generation are the bottom of the barrel with their weak mindedness, sense of entitlement, arrogance, lack of real skill or talent, moral bankruptcy, and sheer overwhelming narcissism.
I think if they don’t they need counseling because then something is mentally wrong! I think they need it now anyway with wanting to do all of this stuff to themselves! They might suffer from body dysmorphia!
@@illwitness says the person whos generation screwed up the American economy
the fact she even flew home the next day jesus
Right. That alone creates a risk for blood clots.
Yes i was in turkey for ten days .when i was home i did get slight infection .Only from not being able to do dressing completely but seeing to it with antibiotics and careful sorted it .Aftercare important you as patient need to do your bit.To achieve good result.
@@hannahdavis7600 what did you have done
@@burnedflowers141 I had tummytuck and breast reduction ,
She said surgeon sewed her intestines back twisted. Woulda had consequence no matter when she left. That she got home next day when trouble started likely saved her life.
the guy is so handsome absolutely nothing wrong with him &how sad with the woman who said her friends say she's fat n now she's willing to risk her life to please them
She needs to find better friends
@Leon Coombes Well I'm telling you now Leon you are a beautiful & handsome man yourself. I've gotten told a million times I'm beautiful that it almost means nothing now as I'm so used to it. As girls/women in general we hear it a lot. I often wonder it's not the same for guys.
Yeah, how about hitting the gym and diet? Seriously dont get why this people think about this type of "solutions l"
@@P0rtugueseRedM00n some ppl rlly just arent born as a beauty standard and loosing weight/ gaining muscle will make them look better but not fix the insecurities they will still have the feautures they hate (crooked nose , small eyes wtv It may be)
She's so immature for her age.
The doctors literally told her not to get the surgery. So she looked up dogdy doctors, and she got a dodgy surgery, not surprising.
Gosia S that’s why you should never shame people for what they can’t change unless they risk their life for it. She was obviously that insecure. People need to be more aware what they say, you can say their make up isn’t ok because they can easily fix it but you don’t gain or do anything except possible kill someone when telling them that their nose is ugly or etc because the only thing you can expect from doing that is destroying their future and possibly getting them killed.
Art Things she was never shaming her. But whats the point talking other people out of SAFE plastic surgery just cuz she went to a dodgy doctor lol
Julia L. I know she wasn’t shaming, I was telling people to be aware from past experience with friends. And the thing is plastic surgery isn’t a grantee that your going to be ok afterwards, your always taking a risk, no doctor is completely perfect. No one is.
@@JuliaTheCrazyChica No plastic surgery is completely safe though. That's the thing. You are risking your life no matter who does it for you.
EXACTLY. God.
This was a horrible example. She was told her BMI was too low and there are already those known risks for the bypass surgery if you don’t take correct precautions. That’s with anyone. I feel horrible for her but the chances of that happening with the cosmetic surgery are much lower.
This goes beyond plastic surgery risk. The doctor who operated on her put her guts back together the wrong way.
I encourage you to watch the American show called "Botched". People go way too far or go to dodgy doctors and screw themselves up.
I agreed but I think it’s trying to tackle getting cosmetic surgery that is completely unnecessary should be given more thought.
Often times people who are addicted to this stuff will ignore doctors and do what she did. Even cheek fillers can be fatal if handled by the wrong surgeon.
o w o Thank you for your thoughtful response. I had cancer that affected my spine and hips and over the course of my lifetime, I’ve had at least 20+ bone surgeries, none of which were elective. There is a risk with every anesthesia event, and it’s been shown the certain anesthetics shorten lifespan, even when the anesthesia and surgery were uncomplicated and successful. For these reasons, I will NEVER subject my body to unnecessary anesthetics and surgery. I’d love to have more than an A cup, love to have that totally flat stomach back after having children, I’d love to fix my chin, but not badly enough to risk my life for it. I couldn’t live with the guilt if I ended up unable to care for my children or if I lost my ability to work simply because I wanted perky breasts. But unless you’ve had serious complications after surgery or really pay attention to the risks, you think it’s no big deal. I agree with you 100%.
Anyone being discouraged to go abroad and do any kind of cosmetic procedure on the cheap can only be a good thing
the blonde girl has a really kind heart.
This was hard to watch.. I underwent some cosmetic surgeries in my early 20's and thankfully never had any issues as a result.. by fluke I had a great surgeon who knew his work. Now in my 30's though and having to research having implants etc replaced as you should every 10-12yrs as recommended I find myself questioning my mortality etc more often and now have a fear of doing it.. people need to put more research into these types of choices that we make. Life is short, do what makes you happy..But..do the research, weigh up the risks and make informed decisions..
I hope this lady lives a long and happy life..
Nicole Kennedy-Beaumont ... Hey Nicole well said .. Me 2 I now have 2 have my implants changed in the years 2 come and I now wish I had never been so stupid 2get them done in 1st place I really don't fancy going 4 surgery again .. I went 2 a well known clinic in u.k great surgeon and I still had complications I got a blood. clot after surgery and had 2 be rushed back into theatre for the love of god I was o.k ... Ppl don't think if you have a boob job u will undeniably have 2 have surgery again at another point it's just not one surgery 4 life .... Think carefully ... 💜
CARLA LAPPIN hey girl! 😊.. so sorry you had that complication but so glad you're OK! And I so relate to wishing that I'd never had them done.. I love the results of my surgeries but the upkeep and the risks far outweigh those results.. especially long term and especially with breast implants! There's so much added risk with having them redone because you either need an added lift or reduction with scarring or you keep having to go bigger..😑 I haven't made a decision either way yet with having my implant revision but it adds a level of fear that I never had originally. Hindsight is an amazing thing, if I'd known then what I know now then I wouldn't have done it. People definitely need to think long term and not in the moment when it comes to cosmetic surgeries.. and the expense!
I hope the future is amazing for you and fingers crossed that when the time comes you don't have any more complications 😊x
Nicole Kennedy-Beaumont ... You have a lovely way other words Nicole 💖 ... Best of luck wishes .... X
Nicole Kennedy-Beaumont you dont have to replace them unless you are having a problem. I've had mine 22 years, no problems. I also work for a plastic surgeon.
I suppose having your implants not replaced, or at least removed, is a risk for you as well, so I hope you will be able to put your fears aside and take care of yourself!
But the woman went to some dodgy probably illegal doctor in Poland doing a surgery which is life threatening for people who don’t need it and expected it to go well? I don’t think this much of a serious risk exists for people who have regular surgeries with qualified doctors.
I am really curious about the clinic that performed such surgery. I mean any reputable Polish surgeon would've denied her.
I have a feeling it wasn't even a surgeon. I'm from Poland and I required surgery and saw many surgeons and they're always so dead serious realistic and blunt. I doubt they'd be cutting someone's stomach in half just bc they're too lazy to exercise.
Not really her fault that they put her intestines in wrong though is it?
TheQjad135 Well it is, it’s common knowledge that no credible doctor would do this surgery for someone that didn’t need it, which she didn’t. She knew she was going to some back door doctor for cheap
Niamh Butler no she didn’t. She obviously thought this doctor was a professional and it’s a common mistake. If she knew what she was getting into why would she do that and not just go to a different surgeon? It’s not like that was the ONLY one available so if she knew he was shady she would have obviously avoided it, like any human on earth who doesn’t want to die, thought you’d have more common sense than that.
Well gastric bypass surgery is a very different surgery than what these ppl want. And it's not purely a cosmetic procedure
wolfattack for her it was, she was told she didn't weigh enough for it.
Akeyla Wallace Yes but it was a very different kind of surgery
So much more serious than like fillers or something
wolfattack It was done for cosmetic reasons tho ..
Yes, that surgery is done on a vital organ so it is different from shaving jaw bone or fillers etc.
gastric bypass isnt cosmetic surgery
well it would've made her slimmer faster and she didn't do it for health reasons, she wanted it for cosmetic reasons
The doctors told her not do it, it really is her own fault - this episode would’ve made more sense if they picked someone who actually had cosmetic surgery done
In this case it was because it wasn't for her health
It's about the context though: she did it to look skinnier, not because she was morbidly obese and needed to lose weight for health reasons. When someone gets a nose job because they have trouble breathing (broken nose for instance) it's not for cosmetic purposes, when someone gets it because they don't like the bump on their nose ridge it's cosmetic surgery
Thats what i thought
I feel for the lady but she got told her BMI was way too low for the surgery... sooooo ... is this telling people not to get surgery done abroad if the initial doctor you saw said no ??
Because I didn’t really feel what they were trying to do (which Im thinking is you are imperfectly perfect the way you are)
Getting surgeries abroad is very risky in general.
Thing is like, it’s not REALLY risky, but if you’re going out ur way to get a surgery doctors have said “don’t get that you’ll fuckin die”, then ur an idiot. Because chances are the person who’s willing to do a surgery that’ll kill you, ISN’T a professional.
Mimi they kinda messed up making this video hey ? Haha cause I couldn’t agree more !
It’s just showing them that they could get addicted to getting surgery and it could some day go wrong for them. It’s also giving them a reality check that it definitely can go wrong.
I don’t understand why somebody that disregarded a doctors order went to a different country to have surgery when they were told that it wasn’t possible with her BMI as it was, is telling people not to have anything done unless necessary... me having a nose job wouldn’t be necessary as such, but I’d for sure research before it and wouldn’t go abroad if I were able to find the right people over here, ‘because it’s cheaper’, it’s cheaper for a damn reason. For some people cosmetic surgery is necessary, she shouldn’t be blaming cosmetic surgery as a whole for her mistake, but the surgeon she chose in Poland. Some people will research and listen to professionals, and she didn’t.
She is still very beautiful, and so strong! And she never lost her sense of style. I was tearing up watching this. My prayers go out to this woman. Hopefully now she can warn others of the dangers.
Where tf in Poland someone can do some shit like that? I mean I'm from Poland and never heard anything wrong about our plastic surgery system
pan banan guess you never went to THAT side of Poland then
Of course you never “heard anything wrong”
The woman should’ve been concerned of a doctor wanting to perform the surgery especially since she wasn’t a candidate for it
I heard horrible stories about plastic surgery in Poland and the Czech republic. Rather go to Germany.
Probably not a legit surgeon
This was so sad I cried I pray for her may God give her strength 🙁🙁
Tom edgy
Jael Esilaba
God isn‘t real and praying doesn‘t do anything.
Shareen i love you
Shareen tell that to the 4 hundred people who liked my comment God exists you have ur beliefs I have mine
Jael Esilaba
I don‘t have any beliefs
Scared straight 2018.
I want a 6 month follow up to see if this actually works
'perfect.'
there's no such thing. plus, there's nothing perfect about being full of plastic. I'm not shaming it. but it isn't perfect. neither is being natural
if my nose bothered me and I got it done,what's the big deal?why do you feel the need to make me self concussion about it again?
Sad Pup I literally said I'm not shaming it. Getting a new nose isn't gonna be 'perfect.' if you want to be told you're perfect your expectations are too high and you're deluded. me saying you won't be perfect shouldn't make you insecure. perfect isn't a thing
This isn’t really a video against cosmetic surgery this is a video warning against “being an idiot and ignoring your doctor’s advice and using someone unqualified’. I feel for her, I do. But she should have listened
exactly
But even cosmetic surgery by qualified people often goes wrong and people die from infections etc. I think the point of the video is to really just ask yourself if it's necessary or worth the risk.
People are so stupid. The most dangerous part of any surgery is the anesthetic. More people are harmed from this than any other complication. People are beautiful just the way they are. We don't all need to look alike. This lady nailed it - the only people needing plastic surgery are the ones born with a birth defect or burn victims. We need to start embracing aging. I have earned ever wrinkle and grey hair through my 67 years. I think I'll keep them.
Shirley pilger
Although I don't think anesthesia is the most dangerous part - I'd say the actual cutting and modificating the body is the most dangerous and the complications - I love your comment, you have also earned wisdom through your 67 years
i agree! not sure about other countries, but in korea a lot of the anaesthetics are administered by nurses or the plastic surgeon themselves and not a qualified anaesthesiologist
Yeah my BF almost died from allergic reaction to anaesthetic. He was injected with two kinds and allergic to both. He got in a traffic accident and his left upper arm was broken to the point of bone jutting out from the skin.
Aprilia Nindy damn, is he okay?
Some people need the surgery because of health issues too. I know a number of women who got breast reduction surgery because of back pain among other things. And those who went through the procedure were very happy with it.
Totally agree - if there is a real issue you're dealing with, go for the surgery if you feel the benefits outweigh the risks. But if you're doing it to "feel better about yourself", I suggest going to a therapist first to deal with whatever insecurities you have BEFORE you make the decision to opt for surgery. If anything, the problem isn't in our body but our lack of self esteem that makes the situation worse.
I did double eyelid surgery 2 years ago when i was 19, it changed my life for the better, im much more comfortable with the way i look because i used to look away from mirrors. When you feel good people around you can also feel the good vibes, a lot of people are so against about plastic surgery but hear me out, i know plastic surgery is mostly meant to be for burn victims etc but what if with all these demands , plastic surgery will even be better in the future for everyone including the one who needs them
I think it depends what situation you're in. The negatives are really bad and if you dont need it then don't get it.
Plastic surgery only goes bad if you go to dodgy doctors or get addicted to it.
TBH if you’re still content 4 years later, I’d say it was worth it. It depends who you ask when it comes to the question “is plastic surgery worth it?” If you’re happy then opinions from other people don’t matter
i dont wanna be the one but im gonna be the one. i dont think this is really realistic... i mean the video basically says to not get plastic surgery just because this particular girl got severe complications following her surgery... it´s like saying "never get into a plane because this one flight crashed"... i get the message about body positivity or whatever but this is demonizing plastic surgery and im not sure im on board with that.
Martin de Diego yeah I’m not on board with getting plastic surgery to be prettier but if that’s what they wanted to convey, they didn’t do it right. All this video shows is that it can be risky (like all surgeries) and it’s in your best interests to not go to some shady overseas place for it which seems like common sense for everyone. So yeah, I can see where you getting at
Gastric bypass is not a cosmetic surgery tho!
twinkmaster2 in this case it was. She didn’t need it. It wasn’t medically necessary so it was cosmetic
A gastric bypass is cosmetic surgery if it isn’t medically necessary. She got it in order to lose weight, like getting liposuction. She got it for cosmetic reasons.
Some people get nose jobs for snoring and deviated septum’s etc. Those aren’t cosmetic until it’s for superficial reasons, which her surgery was.
twinkmaster2 u r a dumbass watch the video first
Didn't Venus Angelic do that and regretted it too?
Tbh I feel like they should’ve had someone who got a more relatable surgery, because the surgeries they discussed getting were things like Botox and lipo. I feel like they were just told not to get it done abroad rather than seeing the consequences of getting done at all.
yep is like someone says that smoke weed on the weekends and they bring a hardcore crack heroin adict who goes to the most shady place to get a fix.."no mate, dont do it, its not worth it".
it's very sad what happened to this woman but this isn't an accurate representation of plastic surgery. she faced the consequences of not listening to her doctors and then going abroad for something that they wouldn't perform on her in her own country bc they knew it wasn't safe. if you want plastic surgery then don't let this video scare you away from it. i had a rhino/septoplasty a month ago and it's been life changing to get rid of the insecurity that plagued me for so long. if you go to a reliable surgeon who you've researched, preferably one that's in your own country (especially if you live in the us bc the regulations are very strict here), and if you LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR when they tell you no, then you are going to be fine. what happened to this woman was the result of bad decisions on her part and malpractice on behalf of the surgeon who should be in jail rn. where i live, there are so many amazing surgeons who perform plastic surgery the right way. they won't leave you looking extreme, and if you ask for something extreme then they will tell you no. they care for your health and safety. if you see someone looking extremely fake, it means they went to a bad surgeon. plastic surgery can be life changing even if it's just for cosmetic reasons. we live in a visual world and nobody can deny that looks matter. if you have an insecurity that's bothered you for so long, you have the right to fix it.
THIS. Thank you!
So true
Where was she going
Yes, but depending on your skin your could have ended up with an infection my friend had surgery and sadly she got in infection! UK top surgeon
Additionally, gastric bypass surgery is not a cosmetic surgery, it’s supposed to be for obese people to help with their health-even so it has so many complications even for the people qualified for it.
My aunt had gastric bypass surgery so she would digest less and get skinnier, so she went to Mexico to get it done and her stomach ruptured too. She was bed ridden and extremely sick and it was hard to see her like that and so lifeless, and my cousins were heart broken. I almost lost my aunt and they almost lost their mother.
my heart hurts. this was honestly such a good one, ken of my favourites. as someone who wants some stuff done in the future, this helped me realize about the risks and what could happen more realistically. it’s not just a story, but a reality
That’s ridiculous. The chances of something going wrong are obviously higher in cases where UK doctors advise against or simply refuse to do the procedure. She knew she couldn’t have the procedure and did it anyway. Nowhere near this dangerous if the doctors agree you’re a suitable candidate. Some people just aren’t that bright.
Sorry- but this woman would have been better suited to a message about not going abroad for surgery and picking reputable surgeons etc. I feel a better example specific to most people’s conception of ‘cosmetic surgery’ would be more effective, as these surgeries often far less risky than a gastric bypass in the first place so the message is kind of lost.
Met you were reaching for this one. Cosmetic surgery and gastric bypass are completely different things. Even when you are having enough to get gastric bypass it is extremely dangerous procedure.
Yes and her case it was completely cosmetics and she was not large enough to get the surgery however most plastic surgeries do not have the same percentage of complications that gastric bypass does.
“That’s savage”
I literally cried with laughter when she said ‘I’m so sorry, that is savage’
Get it done in Korea, LMAO.
Kembly Bzk Venus Angelic did that and she almost died,she was in hospital for weeks.And that was best case scenario
kolina b Yeah, she got a surgery with a infamous doctor with no license who killed two people. She knew about that. 😂 Nice example, tho.
Kembly Bzk there’s a reason why he’s so bad,the surgeries aren’t supposed to be done on people who aren’t obese in the first place : / it’s dangerous no matter what,that’s why everyone in England turned away that woman.Skilled surgeon or not it’s very risky
kolina b Uh, girl, it was an ILEGAL surgery that no other doctor wanted to do so she searched for this dude. Again, she knew he killed two people.
There's regulations, you're not supposed to get this kind of surgery, that's why it is illegal. Did you go that part?
kolina b Venus can't even be an example of cosmetic surgery in Korea because she got that surgery illegally with a surgeon with no license. 😒
I am almost crying omg that poor lady, Dawn.
And when the blonde girl said “well, at least i’ll die happy” i thought to myself- why die happy when u can live happy and experience all of the happiness?
This is why self love is important. If everyone just loved themselves and had confidence in themselves and who they are, people wouldn’t need to change to fit someone else’s standards, people will come to you for YOU
That's not the consequences of cosmetic surgery. That's being mean, conceited and shallow
And clinics in Poland or other Eastern Europ ean ountries have high standards, even higher than some British hospitals. If you do research and pay for a proper clinic, the risk is very low.
But why on Earth would you pay for looking like a melted plastic doll anyway.
Emmy Lee literally everyone is making polish clinics seem 3rd world and dodgy LOL polish cosmetics clinics are probs some of the cleanest ive ever visited?? (If u visit actual qualified doctors and clinics not like this lady did)
I don't get some people. Who automatically thinks plastic surgery to lose weight as opposed to exercise?
I had a nose job because when I was little I borke my nose and I had trouble to breathe through it. It was 1 horrible week of recovery, i am very happy with the result, but if you don't have an actual issue apart from the aesthetic one, please don't go under the knive.
It is no joke, it can end horribly. No complex is enough to risk your life for it.
L U M A T I C If someones life is being destroyed due to an issue with their body I see no reason why they shouldn't get surgery. It's up to the individual to assess the negatives and positives of the surgery to see if it's truly worth it for them.
It’s not entirely black and white. For example, if after massive weight loss you had lots of excess skin, however it did not impact you except for cosmetic reasons, it would still be reasonable to remove it. I think what your talking about though is people who get procedures like lip injections or breast implants, which is just frivolous.
Clorox Bleach that's true, i meant like most common procedures, but it is true that there are cases like that one, or fire victims, still i wouldn't consider those to have just an aesthetic need? Idk, but yes, i get your point there
ÖRLOGSKAPTEN #MAKECZcamsGREATAGAIN Surgery is not just another option, if someone life is "being destroyed" by such thing, its because they lack selfsteem, and "fixing" that one thing ends up in finding another thing to fix, and so on. Beauty and perfection is in the eye of the beholder, you shouldn't let a complex overcome your life to the point of it "ruining it", if you get go that point you should go to a psychologist before doing any permanent changes you might regret... Also its of course up to the individual, but i wouldn't say 16-20 years old are mature enough to get a surgery. It is a very sensitive issue, of course im not saying lets ban cosmetic surgery, but im trying to make people see it as a last resource rather than just a simple option...
L U M A T I C I had to have the Same surgery it was hell absolute hell.
For the people who want surgery go get therapy, work on your self worth, self image, learn to love yourself and then you won't want surgery!! Its all how we program the mind, Brave of that lady to share her story xx
it's definitely easier said then done! what a quick fix it is to have surgery compared to years of developing love for yourself. it requires dedication for sure...
I truly believe that sometimes cosmetic surgery is needed. I had such a large, ugly, crooked nose. I never smiled in pictures. I never took any pictures with my family. I hated the way it looked and it just didn't fit with the rest of my face. I wore glasses just to try and hide it. A few months back, I finally went under the knife and now I'm a completely different person, outside and inside. It's hard but it's worth it.
Claire Figiolini Some people have surgeries that could be considered cosmetic for medical reasons. Some people need nose jobs because their nose Is crooked in a way they can't breathe through it properly and some people need to have breast reductions due to pain and discomfort and some people get labiaplasty because their labia is so big it hurts. Not all surgeries are the same and not all reasons for surgery are the same.
Sevi Kazantzidi what if you had a child that was born with that nose that you had before your surgery? Don't you think your child would feel really bad that you had this, in your opinion, ugly nose and got plastic surgery to fix it?
I got my nose from my dad and like I said, it was just not aesthetically pleasing. Nobody bullied me for it because of the way I managed to hide it and because I was always making jokes about it as well. If my child does not like their nose and it is within reason, I will stand by them and let them have the surgery just like my own parents allowed me to. I couldn't have been happier with my decision and to be honest with you, nobody noticed that I had had cosmetic surgery. They just thought I had lost weight or did my make up differently. If you go to a good surgeon, the change will not be dramatic or over the top. It will be as if you had always had that nose and that's exactly how I feel right now.
Theyll still get it done
But the man is absolutely gorgeous??
I Look Like a Toe he looks like a teenage boy not a man
maybe, but he is also braindead.
Maz Klassa he's gotta be in his mid twenties
I Look Like a Toe he already went under surgery
He’s probably suffering from body dysmorphic disorder
The woman in the wheel chair went to Poland to get her stomach stapled instead of just getting a personal trainer. WTF?! I feel bad for her but c'mon.
People will do anything except change their eating habits and exercise.
I had a nose job and it changed my life for the better. So much more confidence now. I don't think plastic surgery should be shamed, it's people like these addicts who give it a bad name. You obviously didn't need gastric bypass, that is for someone over 500 lbs. You literally were just too lazy to work out smh
as someone who was once clearly insecure about something and did something drastic to fix it (your nose), you of all people should know how crippling insecurity can be
This breaks my heart. I hope that she’s living a good life. God bless her and her children.
What happened to her is horrible but still the doctor warned her. I think its a good example of what can happen when you dont research enough and dont listen to the people who have studied for years but not for all cosmetic procedures. It amazes me how anyone in 2018 still go under the knife not nowing what they are doing
Ive seen a few of these videos, and this is by far the most powerful. When they saw her stomach, you could almost feel the desire for cosmetic surgery leaving them.
The guy's nose is fine!
99 times out of 100, whatever they think is 'wrong' actually looks fine.
@@johngayfer6873 Not always.
The blonde woman doesn’t look like she’d be a sweetheart but oh God I just want them to be best friends- AW THEY JUST HUGGED WHAT A DARLING
I don’t know who needs to hear this but never ever forget that you are purposed, wonderfully and fearfully made
I feel deeply devastated hearing her story, especially for me as a Polish.. knowing that she travels all the way to my home country and trusted a "specialist" from there who let her down just makes me angry. Because of people like that "surgeon", people still think that Poland is a shithole full of unskilled workers... I'm really sorry for what had happened to her, keep fighting for your happiness because we all deserve it! Sending love to all of you!
There are quack plastic surgeons everywhere: America, Mexico, China, Britain..,,
Yall need to appreciate yaselves
This was so powerful. I hope it made the 3 people re-think having further surgeries xx
The girl with the lip injections seemed so kind and understanding. I actually don’t doubt that she will stop. I need to stop judging books by their covers
The woman in the wheel chair is so beautiful and her heart is just as much as beautiful as she is good on her for inspiring other people
1. Gastric Bypass is not cosmetic surgery.
2. Why would you fly to another country that you know nothing about and most likely doesn’t specialise in those life threatening procedures 😞
M B it was for cosmetic reasons
Miah 101 In my opinion it’s better for your health not necessarily cosmetic because it’s not necessary when there are easy alternatives like the gym. Unlike breast enlargements where you obviously can’t grow your boobs in the gym.
If the doctors didn’t recommend it then she shouldn’t have done it.
Since Cosmetic surgeries are usually not denied such as breast enlargement (depending on the size you want) or lip fillers and nose jobs, I’d say anything that is less denied is cosmetics, since it’s a personal problem and not of a high risk like serious surgeries like Gastric bypass.
On the other hand, if she got Liposuction then I’d consider it cosmetic surgery. Because it is less likely to be denied
M B I know it’s typically performed by doctors for obese people to make them eat less for their health. But the women in the video purely did for cosmetic reason she wasn’t morbidly obese she just wanted to be less fat.
Miah 101 If she wasn’t obese then she should’ve went for an actual cosmetic surgery like Liposuction, not something so extreme like gastric bypass jeez.
Should’ve just done loads of research before going for it, there’s somany alternatives to remove fat, some don’t even need to be surgical
“I’m so sorry to hear that, that is savage”
Is she joking?
Theres another meaning for savage
She seems to be the only one showing any emotion so I doubt it
This is a good series. I look forward to more.
I still want plastic surgery lol
You are crazy
Someone's gonna hate me for saying this but it's her own fault. I don't feel bad for someone, that literally got told by their Doctor they shouldn't do it. You literally get told all the risks & if your still being an idiot, it's your own fault. It's 2018, everyone should know the risks by now. If y'all don't wanna listen you your doctor, don't come crying if something goes wrong.
CelebritieFan I understand what your saying you have a point however the surgeon is also at fault for not doing the procedure correctly. there's risks to every surgery but you tell me what sort of surgeon puts intestins inside out. I'm not a qualified doctor or surgeon but even I know that isn't right !!
People are so lazy nowadays, the black women just need to workout and change her diet, some people are so weak minded, I doubt she has even tried to loose weight naturally.
Alex Milner you do realise you cant chance everything with exercise
coffee lover what are you on about? If she started going to the gym, doing exercise and eat properly she would lose as much fat as she liked, she’s just lazy
Alex Milner~Agreed! Today's society just want instant gratification. They want the glorious result without having to put in the hard work. Typical mentality of our current society.
Midnight Rose telling people to workout to lose weight is useless advice, get a grip
Midnight Rose I’m struggling to see your point then, is it that people with mental issues can’t work out?
I applaud BBC3 for all these wake up and smell the coffee videos. Very moving.
Poor poor woman....
what's sad is a month or more from now the people will probably still get the procedures done eventually and forget what she even told them 🤷🏻♀️ its an addiction for some people.
I am actually so happy I watched this video. It makes it clear all the people who ask for a.cosmetic surgery only need to start to love their body. All of them are beautiful and don't need the operation. All they need is someone who tells them they are unique and beautiful in many ways.
It has nothing to do with the body. But all to do with a mind that`s warped by trauma/anxiety and manipulated by marketing. My guess is that there is alot of people who has told them that they are beautiful, but this don`t matter if a person has mental issues. That is they need to fix the brain not the body. They need to spend all the money on a therapist, and do work for years on their mind. But most people are brainwashed to belive that confidence can be fixed by external things like love from others, consumeing, and so on. These things are never going to fix a mind that has anxiety/trauma
Those three people were the type of people who get one thing changed and then go in for more and more.
They needed this eye opener.
They will never be happy if they dont love themself the way they are....One plastic surergy running to another one
gastric bypass is not cosmetic surgery! It's meant for people who are morbidly overweight, not 200 pound people with self esteem problems
Karen Rader exactly
Really? You compared bypass with fillers 🤨
The girl with the hat looks like the evil mom from a cinderella story lmao
The girl who in the beginning says she wants to have a lipo everywhere is just hilarious. What about workout? Exercise? Ever heard of that?
terrible, but to be fair, gastric bypass isn't usually for cosmetic purposes. Its done for the morbidly obese to stop their addiction and save their life. She was way too thin to have that done! But yes, have seen cosmetic surgery go so wrong.... so so wrong.
I absolutely love these videos and so eye opening please keep going with these xxx
But they are all so beautiful just the way they are
The things I’ve ever considered getting done is a nose job and possibly leg lengthening. I’d also get Botox and stuff but that isn’t really surgery. The Nose job will benefit my mental health. The leg surgery would make me look more proportional. Willing to healthily discuss if anyone has anything to say, not willing to argue. :)
Bottom line is everyone's body responds differently to trauma(surgery) either your body can handle it or it can't. Also making sure to research doctors better, finding out what their mistakes were in other patients. Making sure they have the right certifications and experienced. Ive never had plastic surgery but it is not all or even mostly bad.
dumb title -.- way to make cosmetic surgery seem awful and unacceptable again. If a doctor tells you that the surgery you want is too risky, don’t force it. But there’s nothing wrong with plastic surgery in the first place.
I'm glad they gave her a hug cos I wished I could. So sad.
So I have to live the rest of my life with a bump in my nose, waking up in the middle of the night because I can't breath?! Come on...
Getting Plastic surgery in countries like Poland,the Czech republic or turkey might be really cheap but it can be a total failure. My suggestion is to try to accept yourself the way you are and if you got your whole body redone you might regret it.
Still want a nose job lmao.
Edit: in Korea as well tbh they do some goooood shit there. And also, gastric bypass isn’t a cosmetic surgery lol.
I've seen some really horrible documentaries about the plastic surgery in Korea. It does go wrong a lot, just they can afford to keep the patients quiet. They literally sue people who say anything negative about their company. It's truly awful.
Dan G I’m pretty sure it’s seen as the best country to have plastic surgery in because it’s so common to do it there
Her BMI was already too low for gastric bypass, so it wasn’t for strictly medical reasons such as in patients who are obese. That’s why she had to go to a whole other country to get it done because she wanted it for a cosmetic reason.
Dan G lol I don’t care pay me to keep quiet, money buys happiness y’all
Niamh Butler yeah the doctors are great cause they do it so often lol
She's a BRAVE lady bless her it's good she's sharing her story ❤ eye opener
She is so beautiful inside out :) i wish her all the happiness
Wtf do these things have in common?
Lypo and procedures in foreign countries. People often go to turkey for surgery because it's cheap, but many of the doctors don't actually know what they're doing.
A l l e g e d l y TM mental retardation?
But gastric bypass isn't a cosmetic surgery is it?
“that is savage” Totally disrespectful, that woman has been through so much
Oviia People use it as slang,
everyone’s saying that this is a bad example but some people obviously are so addicted warnings will never stop them
Narcissistic behaviour is rampant and I blame social media
The blonde one is my worst nightmare of a woman
Charlie Hoare you can't afford her that's why.
24Roxyx lmao you saying you need money to get girls? Gold diggers like her are only looking for your money hahaha
She was pretty lovely though
Whyy she’s cute and has a nice personality, what’s wrong with her
Nevena Gavric She’s not cute. Everything about her was fake.. her looks and even her personality seemed shady.
Th lady was told not to do it, she was ignorant and went abroad to do it so was her own fault.
alexandra bernabela exactly!
Agreed - it's one thing if she was given the go-ahead and something happened. But no, she didn't listen to her doctor because she has serious self esteem and body image issues. Went out of the country (I'm sorry but not all countries have proper standards and regulations in place!), and the doctor there screwed up!
If you have to get plastic surgery to correct an actual issue (due to an accident, health issue or birth defect), I understand that. But if it's only because you want to look "perfect", shut the hell up and go see a psychotherapist to get rid of your insecurities.
“That’s savage” why did I laugh? ☹️
She is amazing
Also.. "gastric bypass" is a bit more than a nose job or Botox...
And by a dodgy doctor at that
Going abroad to a dodgy doctor for something UK doctors told her NOT to do is drastically different to getting a rhinoplasty or boob job by a trusted doctor in the UK.
Wow I cried ! God please bless her
People go into plastic surgery to look more natural but the more you do the more unnatural it looks.
It's sad because most people how do it really don't need it. Most people should just try to love who they really are. Self confidence is key.
The Black women is gorgeous! She doesn't even see it lol
This is not the consequence of cosmetic surgery. Nice try though 👍🏽
Why would you have surgery unless it’s to help your life? I had mouth surgery and it was the most awful thing ever because it went wrong, I can’t imagine why people would get surgery because they want to look pretty! Surgery is always a risk.
This is ridiculous. The chances of something going wrong are obviously higher in cases where UK doctors advise against or simply refuse to do the procedure. She knew she couldn’t have the procedure and did it anyway. Nowhere near this dangerous if the doctors agree you’re a suitable candidate (every surgery carries some level of risk). Some people just aren’t that bright.
I thought it was Miley Cyrus in the thumbnail
Is he gay/bi? Does straight guys really get lip injections/fillers/whatever just to look good?
not all plastic surgery is bad, having an addiction to it or doing with an unreasonable doctor that's bad...
What a truly brave and inspirational lady 💜💜💜
