A young woman, in her twenties, decided she wanted to have plastic surgery. As she was sitting in the waiting room she started to remember all those pageants her mother use to take her to. “You will be Miss Universe one day”, her mother use to tell her. She had always tried to live up to her mother expectations, though that was hard to achieve.
The girl was actually very beautiful but she wanted to be flawless. She was planning to do a nose job and to put breast implants but the doctor, quickly realizing how gullible this girl was, started to speak about other possibilities. This unscrupulous doctor ended up convincing her that she also needed botox injections on her lips, a liposuction in her thighs, and to remove her knee fat.
Something went terribly wrong with the surgeries, possibly because they were too many at the same time. In addition, she already had an ill health. The truth is this doctor only thoughts were the money he was going to extort from this poor girl and his unmeasured ambition put her life at risk.
She had to spend a lot of time at home, recovering. She became reclusive. But fortunately the doctor spent some time in jail to pay for his mistakes. And time heals every wound. So with the appropriate health treatment and psychological support she got back to her usual life. Now she’s only planning to pursue her own dreams.
