Woman DIY Plastic Surgery With Liquid Silicone!!!!!!!
Charlotte NC – Most women would be mortified to show their face looking like this. But one 54-year-old mother of three is showing her picture to try to prevent others from making the same mistake she did. She doesn’t want to reveal her name, but says she bought a $10 bottle of liquid silicone off the internet and injected it into her lips and cheeks. She wanted to look younger and save a few bucks.
“This poor woman has probably disfigured herself for life.” Dr. Victor Ferrari is a double board certified plastic surgeon in Charlotte. He’s seen his share of patients who’ve taken their appearance into their own hands.
“The one man convinced the other that this was a safe practice. He injected silicone bathtub caulk into this first guys face.”
His horror stories don’t stop there. “I have a woman next week that I’m doing reconstructive breast surgery on who had liquid silicone injected for a couple hundred dollars trying to get breast enhancement who now has two rock hard breasts that we have to try to reconstruct and make them look like normal breasts again.”
And if that doesn’t make you think twice, Ferrari says “I had a woman from Las Vegas that went to Mexico and had mineral oil injected into her ankles to make her ankles bigger. And as the reaction came up her leg, I ended up having to take all the skin off her legs and skin graft her leg from the hip down to the ankle.
The woman sharing her pictures with the world will undergo multiple surgeries since liquid silicone can’t just be “sucked out.” Her “cost saving measure” will end up costing her up to five times the amount just to fix it.
“That’s the reason you pay good money for it because you need an expert who’s doing it,” says Ferrari.

Just unbelievable. …
Just unbelievable. I can’t even follow the woman’s logic–why in the world did she think she was capable of performing procedures on herself with no training, at home in an unsterile environment, and with non-medical grade supplies? I just don’t get it.

I also think she is courageous to go public with her experience IF she hasn’t accepted any remuneration for doing so.

Wonder how much …
Wonder how much money was made “going national” with the story on local news, Good Morning America, Tyra and Inside Edition. Then the sharing isn’t so altruistic as it sounds.

Why are some of you …
Why are some of you being so mean and calling this chick a “stupid bitch”? I’m grateful that she is speaking out about it. If she stops even one person from making the same mistake, it’s worth it!
Frankly, I’m shocked that she could even find this crap on the Internet to begin with. Isn’t the FDA supposed to stop stuff like this from happening? Our tax dollars are being spent on the FDA. We pay them to protect us & we deserve better!

I did this same …
I did this same thing on my penis a few years ago, but I used some silicone caulk from the hardware store…. it made my weiner really lop sided, it burned incredibly bad, and eventually the skin around my shaft turned blackish and sorta bloody and tore open. I think it made the tissue die, but thankfully once it tore open I was able to wash it all out, i thankfully only put it between my skin and the actual penis shaft…. I might try it differently next time…

its good they show …
its good they show this on tv. It makes one more appreciative of their own looks, despite not looking perfect. This is what people need to compare themselves with, to be more self-accepting: with horrifying disfigured people instead of photoshopped models

So fuckin’ stupid. …
So fuckin’ stupid. What did she think would happen? It’s called plastic SURGERY for a reason. If you can’t pay for a medical procedure, don’t play doctor. I hesitate to even use the word «butcher» to describe such stupidity for fear of offending a perfectly respectable profession.
