Oh my...

I just watched the most horrifying show on The Learning Channel about cosmetic surgery nightmares. The stories they told took place in Europe. Surgeries performed by less than trustworthy doctors which produced more than alarming results. One woman looked so frightening after a massive facial surgery that I literally cried out in horror. So swollen and bruised and stitched and bloody. She could barely speak and she couldn't open her eyes at all for weeks. She developed a skin disorder in part of her face called Hyperpigmentation that caused that area of the skin to become permanently darker and HYPOpigmentation in other areas, causing the skin to become lighter. You can use your imagination to conjure up what that might look like.

Another woman on the show had the breast surgery from hell, with an infection that would never disappear until the boobs were removed. I wouldn't mind having bigger boobs, but I don't think I would ever be willing to take the risks involved. It is amazing how many people are having plastic surgery these days and there are all of these shows about it. Some of them glorifying the results, some of them scaring the shit out of you with stories of surgeries gone awry. A hundred years from now, the earth will be filled with bodies that will never fully decompose...hahaha. Millions of silicone and saline breasts, alone in their coffins with a stack of bones and dust, still perky long after the rest of the body is gone. That is so sick. But it makes me laugh to think about it.
