Shanna B. Van Ness: Goal Set: Strive for Career Security vs. Job…
Radio Host Makes Shocking Claim About Shooting Hillary Clinton
Everybody loves a bargain, but we firmly believe that there are some things you shouldn't skimp on: shoes, tattoos and definitely plastic surgery. An East Bay, Calif., woman reportedly suffered complications after performing the latter on herself. The 54-year-old woman declined to give her name, but told reporters that she ordered a $10 vial of liquid silicone online and injected it into her lips and cheeks a month ago after a visit to a plastic surgeon.
She underwent corrective surgery to undo the red, inflamed results of her DIY project. But since doctors aren't totally sure what she injected, they said it could take multiple procedures to fix.
Unfortunately, plastic surgeon Steven Williams says she's not the only person to attempt cosmetic procedures on themselves.
Williams' office has seen an increase in people with botched DIY surgeries, and he suggests this might be because of the economy and the misguided idea that plastic surgery is somehow foolproof.
Our (totally unscientific) conclusion? Don't try this at home.
Now really, if you're hurting that bad to perk up your life, take a tip from one of the articles in our series "Break out of the Blah." None of them will hurt as bad as DIY plastic surgery.

Why do we try so hard to look so desirable? It is so that we will be desired!!! But desired because we look good? Yes it does open lots of doors that ugly will not, but just how perfect can you afford to be? It is a very expensive commitment unless you are wealthy. And you have to keep it up.

I think the reason people want to look good so they can be desired is the world around us. I mean, everyday people see beautiful women like Beyonce and their self esteem gets lower because they're like 'Why can't I look like her?' Especially people with a weight problem or people who 'think' they have a weight problem cause they're not skinny like Lindsay Lohan. They think they have to look like a walking stick cause just to get a man and that's really sad. I think this will continue for a long while until somebody gets sick and tired of it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - isn't this what was said about one hundred years ago. What I think is beautiful, the next person does not. I personally have naturally pouty lips, what have I always wanted???? Yes, that is right, thin lips. If one has curly hair, they want it straight and so on. Actually what is said about one who is not happy with their appearance is that perhaps they have psychological issues (not my saying, but general concensus). People who frequently visit plastic surgeon's offices are unhappy individuals with their own bodies. They have poor self-esteem. I say just be happy with what ya got!

Truly pathetic. When did fat lifeless lips become attractive? I see so many women who go around looking like the got punched in the mouth. Sexy? Not in my book.

MW: Could not agree with you more......I have pouty lips, but have always wanted thin. You always want what you can't have. Mine are natural, what was she thinking, apparently from the photos, she was not thinking!

This is unbelievable! How can anybody in their right mind (I guess THAT is the answer!) do such an unequaled stupid thing? This has to make the Guinness Book of World Records. It is stories like this which make me reluctant to even open up a newspaper first thing in the morning. I am almost speechless with this one.

I think that this is so terribly sad that someone would feel the need to do this to themself. We are way too concerned with outer beauty when we should be trying to be beautiful on the inside. An act of kindness toward another human being makes one beautiful. Comforting someone who is in distress, feeding someone who can't afford to eat, helping an elderly person - these things make us complete.

Audrey, I am from Germany and totally agree with you. The beauty on the out side will fade with age and what is left then? We as human beings really need to focus on real beauty which means how we treat our family, friends, neighbors and all the other people around us. This gives a meaning to life. And we'll be happier and healthier.

As if what plastic surgeons do is so simple that anyone could just pick up some stuff at a pharmacy and do it yourself. Those guys go to 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and at the very least, 6 years of training! If your stupid enough to do something like that, you deserve the consequences.

What a price to pay for vanity - no wonder it's one of the 7 deadly sins. This is what Hollywood is doing to us - and all the ads about beautiful women, gorgeous men, etc - instead of appreciating what we are born with - we think we have to improve it- I can understand if a person is born with a disfigurement - mainly because people are so cruel - but trying to always look young or like someone else - or allowing Madison Ave to convince us that fat lips are the only way to go - or no lines, etc - truly sad

You are absolutely correct with the years of training it takes to become a physician and specialize in your field of expertise. It is somewhat amazing but I believe that you get what you pay for, with little to no exception to this rule. I have been a nurse for enough years to thing I have seen it all, only then do I see something else I cannot believe! They talk about pandemic influenza....this is nothing compared to the pandemic we currently have, which is obesity. Obesity is the cause of so many deaths every year, but insurance companies do not give you a cost reduction if you are in shape and stay fit and trim. Your automobile insurance does, but not your medical. So, there is no incentive - eat those greasy hamburgers, do not exercise, smoke, drink, you will be covered under insurance. But if you try to stay in shape, fit, trim and healthy, so what, there is no reward for you at the end of the rainbow! I do believe that looking good can be accomplished on your own, without plastics - but whatever....just my thought. Leave the complex issues to the specialists and stay within your realm of expertise!
