Horrific addiction to cosmetic surgery

Here’s a story of a Korean woman who injected cooking oil in her face, because she ran out of silicone her doctor gave to use at home.

The scary thing is, plastic surgeons Stateside aren’t surprised with the obsession surrounding plastic surgery, as more are seeing an increased need for corrective procedures.

With the tough economy, more patients are turning to cut-rate or suspicious providers, leading to botched procedures that need fixing.

No matter how desperate things seem, please don’t inject household products into your face.

If the economy continues the way it is, we are going to see some interesting cases with breast implants.
