More Stories of Unusual and Life-Changing Plastic Surgeries

After bearing three children, Renee, a former competitive figure skater, had developed a painful condition known as diastasis recti. It occurs when abdominal muscles split during pregnancy, causing severe back pain. She went to see Dr. Rady Rahban for help. And in the run-up to the 2020 election, one candidate already had a vote from Cynthia, a nurse technician - Cynthia wanted to look like Kamala Harris, so she met with Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose to achieve her dream. #InsideEdition

If you prepare well you're unlikely to have that happen. It's a rare complication and unless you have rock hard abs and tight core muscles (like she probably did) those muscles will gain enough laxity to stretch and come back without tearing like hers did. It was a very bad, very rare case with her, I think. I could show you just as many women who bounce right back, even well into their thirties

Plastic surgery is good if it is used to fix something that has been caused due to an accident or a disease and not just because you fell insecure of how you look and feel... Be proud of how you look rather than impersonating the "ideal" body or some celebrity...

[@zuzl3594]

I politely disagree. I think plastic surgery is most helpful for an accident, but I think it can also be used if you want to change something about yourself. Yes, I think people can overdo it, but I think that when people think of plastic surgery they think of overdone ladies with large lip fillers and and overdone boobs. But I think that you can have mild to medium plastic surgery to improve your self esteem. And if the other people who DO overdo it really want to, then that is their choice.

[@bholuwhoop5944]

@@zuzl3594 I am really grateful that there is at least one person in the world that disagrees so politely, because most people just go battle mode in the comment section.... But don't you you should develop self esteem through accepting the look with which they were born with and rather than making changes, embrace it ? Because self esteem developed always lasts longer than artificially brought self esteem... It's similar to fitness, a study proves that people who work hard to lose weight tend to remain fit than those who go through liposuction when not necessarily needed... Just my opinion...

[@ntrlstar]
