Plastic Surgery Disasters

Beauty and folly are generally companions.
~ Baltasar Gracian

Indeed, beauty and its pursuit has lead many a man and woman to commit trifles as well as transgressions! Don't get me wrong here! I, personally, don't feel there is anything wrong with wanting to look younger and more attractive - the quest for youth and beauty are eternal! However, going under the knife for achieving these results may not always turn out pleasant. We can see many such bad plastic surgery examples around us, especially among most celebrities who have been to cosmetic surgeons for nips, tucks, implants, lifts, veneers, etc. Let us take a look at some of the most (in)famous celebrity plastic surgery mishaps and see what went wrong in each case.

Celebrity Examples of Plastic Surgery Gone Wrong

The following celebrities went under the knife to enhance their looks and celebrity appeal but I guess they had no idea they would end up like they did! Presenting to you, celebrity plastic surgery disasters!

Michael Jackson: Michael Jackson's epic love affair with cosmetic surgery is known to the entire world! First he went white, then he got a nose job done, went for multiple face lifts and God-knows-what-else! The result - sweet black guy turned into awry white freak! No offense to the legend (I am a huge fan too!) but that's how he looked like for a good part of his life! Only his phenomenal musical talent and unique choreographic dexterity retained Michael Jackson's fan following worldwide despite the constant atrocities he committed on his appearance!!

Donatella Versace: If there is something this lady seriously needs to know, it's aging gracefully! Before that face lift and lip job she looked gracefully matured but after going under the knife - well, it's hard to explain how she looks! The procedures have done nothing to make her look younger but has done a lot to make her look like an oddity of Nature! Donatella, we love the clothes you design - wish you left the design of your visage to God!

Tara Reid: She looked fresh and beautiful prior to her breast augmentation and tummy tuck! Afterwards, she just shrank! If you look at her post-liposuction pictures, you'll understand my point. The liposuction has left Tara Reid's stomach looking shriveled like a 5 day old orange peel and her rear and thighs also look wrinkled and famished, launching speculation about tuck jobs done there as well!

Victoria Beckham: Her recently incorporated breast implants look sorely apparent owing to her low body fat content, which means there is nothing between those implants and bare skin! Seems like Victoria Beckham is bent on taking soccer (especially soccer balls) to a new level altogether! Take a look at her post-implant pictures and you'll know.

Jocelyn Wildenstein: No list of plastic surgeries gone wrong can be complete without mentioning the "Cat Lady"! This wealthy socialite has had multiple surgeries done to alter her features to resemble those of exotic felines! Jocelyn was born Jocelynnys Dayannys da Silva Bezerra. She decided to get herself to look like one of those big cats her husband was fond of when she found out that he was cheating on her, in a bid to win him back! This lady looked refreshingly pleasant before her surgeries - from her first cosmetic surgery till date, well, no comments!

Types of Cosmetic Surgery

From the above examples, we can see that how unnecessarily tampering with various parts of our body can rob its natural beauty and appeal! There are many types of cosmetic surgery and each type is used to sculpt a different part of the body. Let's take a brief look at them:

• Rhinoplasty (nose job)
• Otoplasty (ear job)
• Blepharoplasty (eye job)
• Tummy Tuck
• Liposuction
• Face Lift
• Breast Correction (implant/augmentation/reduction/reshaping)
• Hair Implants
• Cosmetic Dentistry (whitening, contouring, bonding, veneers, gum lift, dental bridges, smile correction, etc.)

Why do Plastic Surgeries Go Wrong?

There can be many reasons behind plastic surgeries going wrong and these are the reasons behind plastic surgery risks. Some prominent and most common reasons are:

• Implants hardening
• Implants leakage
• Adverse reactions to medications
• Displacement of implants
• Nerve or tissue damage
• Massive scars leading to mutilations
• Excessive removal of skin

The bottom line is, unless one suffers an accident or any unfortunate incident which renders the appearance unpleasant and causes serious mutilations, plastic surgery is not an advisable option. Sometimes, children born with birth defects such as cleft lips can go for cosmetic surgery to get the defect corrected, which is absolutely fine. Otherwise, surgically tampering with your natural appearance just because you don't like the way you look, and not because of medical reasons, is not a good enough reason.

The aforementioned and many other celebrity plastic surgery disasters hold testimony to this fact! If we regulate our lifestyles and diet to include healthy and holistic habits, we can continue looking young, fit and radiant way far into advanced age. The effects may not be as instant as cosmetic procedures but, trust me, they'll last longer and ensure overall well-being!
