Did You See Tuesday's Oprah? "Hooked On Plastic Surgery At Age 28"
http://www.oprah.com/tows/pastshows/200502/tows_past_20050208.jhtml
http://www.oprah.com/tows/slide/200502/20050208/slide_20050208_102.jhtml

Some are destroying their families, all while destroying themselves. They are America's newest junkies, putting their bodies through agony—women hooked on plastic surgery.



Jenny is only 28 years old and has already had 26 plastic surgeries. Jenny says she first became a slave to the scalpel after one critical comment from her then husband. "My ex-husband told me that my nose was too big, that my boobs were too small, so eventually I got a boob job to stop the comments," Jenny says. "I just moved from a bad relationship with him to a bad relationship between me and my reflection. After the divorce, plastic surgery became an obsession for me."

Jenny was just 25 years old when she had a brow lift. She's also had Botox, cheek implants, three nose jobs, veneers on her teeth, three lip implants, two boob jobs, three breast lifts, and liposuction on her arms, stomach, hips, thighs, and knees. Jenny says that the total cost of her plastic surgeries is about $80,000.

1. Daddy arwalden, how did you know I wanted a life size Barbie?
Does she really think she looks good? That poor woman needs lots of help.

12. She told Oprah that her own daughter compared her to a Barbie-doll!
She said that it's difficult when her daughter doesn't even recognize photos of her from several years ago.

2. Her lips are crooked
maybe she can get them evened out. I'd say though if she had all that done for $80,000 she is probably going to thailand or somewhere. Some of that stuff would cost $20,000.

5. How sad.
The unrealistic image they keep pushing on these girls from day one...isn't it any wonder the country isn't full of these sad sad women? *sigh*

6. She doesn't even look human!
I live in Manhattan, which is filled with women like this - especially on the Upper East. When you see them up close it's really frightening, and they all look so lost and pathetic.

Some of them actually look deformed, they've had so much work done. I wonder if they get to the point where they have just lost touch with the reality of their physical beings.

8. Click This Link To See Her "Before" Photo...
... she was already pretty. She needed NOTHING done to her. She had a Julia Roberts quality to her smile and eyes.

Clearly she's got emotional problems... and her plastic surgeon should have sent her to a psychiatrist. Her nose is so fragile that one more surgery and it won't be able to hold itself up.

It's so small and tiny that she has trouble breathing... and... she MUST carry around q-tips at all times. She can't pick it or blow it... only q-tips! What was she thinking??

It was a very sad episode.

24. Yeah.. I saw this show too.
I thought this woman looked very good before her surgery. I think she ruined her looks with all the surgery. Her lips look really bad.

14. She told her plastic surgeon that she wanted a nose like MICHAEL JACKSON!!
I feel so sad for her... when the camera would catch her in profile, she looked abnormal and out of proportion.

16. Another site is...
www.awfulplasticsurgery.com that focuses on celebrity plastic surgery. There are some examples of people who know when to stop (Sarah Jessica Parker) and some who don't (Michael Jackson).

17. Yes, I think that's the site.
I was appalled at Rupert Everett and fascinated by the Michael Jackson time line.

21. OMG... What Did Rupert Everett Do To Himself?? He's Someone ELSE...
... and not as good looking as he was before. Those cheek implants are horrible! Botox and browlift makes him look like he's wearing a kabuki mask.

20. she actually wasn't rich
she did later get married to a guy who could provide money.

but even before she got married she was a single mother for a long time without much and she said how she would work 3 or more jobs just to pay for this . so it just shows how addictive she had become to it.

23. She looks like mortician makeup
Damn, she looks like she was a corpse made up for a funeral. I saw the before and after pictures and damn, she just looks gruesome...

But Mother Nature will take care of her later as she ages...
