Plastic Surgery Nightmares

BEFORE SURGERY
She used to look like this before the cosmetic surgery disaster:

AFTER SURGERY
And this is how she looks now after the overhaul:


Her name is Han Mi Ok a Korean celebrity who become knows as " Fan lady" after her disastrous cosmetic surgery. She underwent 15 reconstructive surgery to overhaul her 'i-don't-think--it-can-be-fix' plastic surgery damage. She apparently become addicted to plastic surgery and couldn't get enough of the 'perfect face' so she went to quacks just to indulge herself. She even personally performed a facial injection at home. The result...... well you can see it.






Think twice before you get cut up and think thrice before you inject yourself with human byproducts.


On the photos above, Han Mi Ok was at the shooting of 500th spisode of Shocking Stories of the World. I admire her courage to display her damaged face in public and let people see how ungodly it is to distort ones appearance. I am not totally against plastic surgery but I am also not for it. She should serve as a lesson to anyone who dreamed of having a 'perfect face' Think twice before you get cut up and think thrice before you inject yourself with human byproducts.




DONNATELLA VERSACE
Donatella Versace’s Awful Plastic Surgery






Donnatella Versace rarely smiles. Amazing isn't it ? It must've been a Botox free day. She is normally very wooden faced. Through the years, as Donatella has become more artificially tanned and platinum blonde, the 53-year old mother has also turned into a caricature of herself, due to some unfortunate plastic surgery.
Although nose jobs are usually done to make a nose smaller, Donatella’s has grown larger over the years. It is also wider and flatter and slightly crooked, indicating that at least one bad nose job took place.In addition to her big nose, Donatella also has large lips, like the trout pouts of the Hollywood divas the designer dresses. Although the fashion icon has always had big lips, the oversized upper lip indicates that fillers, like collagen, have been used liberally.
For a 53-year old, Donatella’s skin is very firm, indicating a possible facelift. She probably also uses dermal injectables like Botox to eliminate wrinkles, even when she smiles. Her tight face is a strong contrast to the loose skin on the rest of her body.



AMANDA LAPORE & PAMELA ANDERSON




Separated at birth? Here's Amanda Lepore and Pamela Anderson standing side by side, both looking like plastic surgery victims. Neither has any of their original body parts. Both have collagen filled lips, rhinoplasty, and even similarly taut facial skin to prevent signs of aging from showing.


JOCELYN WILDENSTEIN






These are the best ever photos of the cat lady, Jocelyn Wildenstein, ever! Why? Because I think they show off a possible new procedure she may have had. Look at her chin? Was it so prominent before? It looks different; its looks more square. Also, her lips look more plump than usual.
Jocelyn Wildenstein married a rich art dealer when she was young and caught him cheating on her. They divorced, she got millions and so began her self destructive plastic surgery addiction. She wanted her plastic surgeon to transform her looks so she would look more cat-like. Talk about someone with too much time and money on their hands!




JACKIE STALLONE



For your viewing pleasure, here is Jackie Stallone up close! she's a freak. What is that weird bulge on her face? It looks like a cheek implant gone wild. Why would someone her age get cheek implants? Probably in a useless attempt to look younger, in the same vein as the rest of her scary plastic surgery.


ITALY"S SOCIALITE -MICHAELA ROMANINI



She is a prominent Italian socialite. It also appears that she is an avid user of lip collagen. By avid, I mean, gargantuan judging by the size of her lips.

Woman dies after botched silicone injection




A SEEMINGLY harmless cosmetic procedure turned deadly for a woman who died one day after receiving silicone injections in her thighs and buttocks.
Fiordaliza Pichardo's husband never thought she needed silicone injections to make her more attractive and would often tell her:
"'Hey, why you do that? Stop doing that.' She'd tell me, 'Oh let me do this a little bit,'" Fausto Rodriguez told CBS 2 HD.

And the 43-year old tried to keep her injections secret, especially since they were allegedly being administered by her unlicensed friend, Elsa Then.
"She trusted this lady so health-wise, no worries," said Kelvin Rodriguez, the victim's son.

Woman died after cosmetic surgery



Woman dies after having her butt fat injected into her face:

A woman died after cosmetic surgery when fat from her buttocks was injected into a vein in her face.
Rachel Soanes underwent the procedure to plump out her face but died from a 'phenomenally rare' complication when the fat got into her lungs.
The 37-year-old suffered from the condition lupus profondus, which left her with an usually thin face.
She had undergone the plumping treatment twice before and was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital in London as an out-patient on February 12.
But shortly after a second re-injection of fat from her buttocks she complained of dizziness and vomited.
Her oxygen levels plummeted but there was a 50-minute delay before a specialist crash team got to her and almost two hours before Miss Soanes was admitted into intensive care.
Pathologist Professor Sebastian Lucas said Miss Soanes, of Windsor Road, Norwich, died of a fat tissue embolism - one of the first ever documented cases.
This arose from an injection of fat into a vein of her face, he said.
The fat traveled into her lungs and resulting in the embolism, or blockage in the arteries.
Prof Lucas said: 'Once the fat got into the lungs there was nothing anyone could have done. It happened within seconds. There was no way anyone could dissolve or remove the fat. It was all the way through the lobes of the lungs.'

Woman Tries Plastic Surgery On Own Face






An woman is recovering following corrective surgery after she attempted to perform plastic surgery on her own face.
The woman, who asked that her name not be used, is 54, a mother of three, with a career in the public eye. She said that after a visit to a plastic surgeon, she went online and bought a vial of liquid silicone for $10 then injected it into her lips and cheek four weeks ago.



"Insane. I can't believe I did what I did," she said. "I thought I was going to be happy with the results, then the next day, my face became very inflamed, very red, swollen."

Plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Williams said the economy and the notion that plastic surgery is somehow foolproof has contributed to a recent rise in self-performed plastic surgeries.

"We've noticed an uptick in people trying to do things like this at home," said Williams. "And having problems, and (then) having to come in and see us."

On Wednesday, the woman underwent surgery to try to correct the horrifying result.

Williams says this corrective procedure is more complicated than you might think. Because he was not sure what was injected, the process requires more than just simply sucking out the bad silicone.

"It's not something you can just draw out," said Williams. "You actually have to go in surgically and cut it out. We don't know what this material is, and it is actively causing serious problems for her."

He said clearing all the material out may require several more surgeries. His patient said she hopes speaking out about her experience might make others consider the potential consequences before self-administering silicone or other substances.

Amy Winehouse was hospitalised after her breast implants reportedly leaked.



The 'Back to Black' singer was admitted to a London medical centre earlier this week to be treated for what was believed to be complications with her medication.

But her father Mitch Winehouse has insisted the hospital visit was caused by trouble with her new boobs - which cost a rumoured €39,000.

Speaking on his online show 'Mitch Winehouse's Showbiz Rant', the star's dad pointed to his chest and said: "It wasn't because she had a cold. She's fine, she just had a little leaky something or other."

A friend of the star added to Britain's 'Daily Mirror' newspaper: "She saw something oozing out of her top. To see stuff seeping out was horrible."

Despite difficulties with her breast implants, Amy was recently reported to want to undergo more cosmetic surgery to look like a "pin-up".

A source said: "Amy loves her breasts. She can't stop touching them and showing them off to friends.

"She says she feels womanly again and wants to be more curvy like she used to be. She thinks by having another operation and bum implants that she will achieve her dream pin-up look."

Black-market cosmetic surgeries hospitalize six N.J. women


NEWARK -- Six women from the Essex County area who wanted fuller bottoms ended up in hospitals after receiving buttocks-enhancement injections containing the same material contractors use to caulk bathtubs, officials said.

The women checked into hospitals in the county after their procedures, apparently administered by unlicensed providers, went horribly wrong, state health officials said. The women underwent surgery and were given antibiotics. No arrests have been made.

Different from medical-grade silicone, the substance used in the botched procedures was believed to be a diluted version of nonmedical-grade silicone.

"The same stuff you use to put caulk around the bathtub," said Steven M. Marcus, executive and medical director of the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System, who learned about the bizarre procedures through a committee he sits on that monitors outbreaks in the metropolitan area.

"What a tragedy," said Gregory Borah, chief of plastic surgery at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.

Using over-the-counter silicone can cause abscesses that he said resemble "a big zit."

Borah, also president of the New Jersey Society of Plastic Surgeons, said the botched procedures underscore the need for patients who seek augmentation to have it administered by a licensed professional in a sterile setting.

A plastic surgeon doing buttocks augmentation would make an incision to develop a pocket underneath the muscle and shape the buttocks with inert medical-grade silicone, Borah said. He noted it is a relatively uncommon procedure in most practices and that he has done only two in his 24-year career.

By the time he tells patients of the potential risks — from anesthesia, scarring and silicone shifting when patients sit down — they often change their minds.

Breast and cheek augmentations are the most common procedures, he noted. Borah said buttock augmentation is more popular in some cultures than others.

The state Department of Health and Senior Services did not identify the women or release any details about their ethnicity. It also did not say where the "unlicensed medical provider or providers" performed their procedures.

"Fortunately, these women are being treated and are recovering," said Tina Tan, the state epidemiologist. "But there is the potential for more serious complications if these infections are not treated early and properly."

Investigators have not determined if the six cases, which began to be reported in mid-February, are related, but they have stoked concern among officials that such injuries are more common than previously thought.

Health officials issued an alert to state hospitals and doctors about the cases and the potential for more victims.

Marcus said there have been other incidents over the past couple years of providers providing implants of nonmedical-grade silicone, then getting put out of business — only for other shady providers to surface.

"Caveat emptor: Buyer beware," Marcus said. "If it looks too cheap, there’s probably a reason it’s too cheap."

After losing her man, clerk may now lose her breasts




Malaysia: A clerk who lost her boyfriend after a procedure to enlarge her breasts went awry may now lose them as well.

The 30-year-old woman, known only as Tham, said the procedure had left her with severe infections and itchiness on her breasts.

Tham, who is from Triang, Pahang, said she visited a surgeon here two months ago for the procedure as she had wanted to surprise her boyfriend of five years with larger breasts.

"My boyfriend always told me that he wished I was thinner and had bigger breasts," she said.

However, he left her soon after the surgery.

"He was angry because I had spent so much money on the surgery," she said, adding that the ex-boyfriend was also uncomfortable with the wounds on her body after the procedure.

"I did all this for him, but in the end, he left me anyway."

Tham said in addition to the bust enhancement surgery, she also underwent a liposuction on her stomach and waist since her ex-boyfriend preferred slender women with ample breasts.

Tham had borrowed RM13,000 (S$5,318) from her father to pay for the procedure, and lied to him about using the money to buy furniture instead.

"The surgeon told me he would remove the fat from my hip and waist, and transfer this to my breasts.

"A week after the surgery, there was pus oozing out from where he had injected the fat," said Tham.

She added that she had been conscious throughout the painful two-hour ordeal because the surgeon claimed he was not licensed to anesthetise her. She said the surgeon was a foreigner and an unlicensed practitioner.

The infection had caused Tham's breasts to turn black around the area of the surgery.

"My breast area also became swollen and turned black," she said.

When Tham went back to the clinic, the surgeon had offered to re-do the entire procedure.

"I decided to consult a skin specialist instead," said Tham who is now undergoing treatment for her injuries.

"I am getting treatment from a licensed surgeon now and he told me that the infection occurred because of a misguided transplant procedure I underwent previously, in which fat from my stomach was used to pad my breasts."
