Celebrities Who Go Too Far With Cosmetic Surgery - Part 2

By James P Wilkinson

In this, the conclusive part of a look at what spurs celebrities into going too far with cosmetic surgery (and what can happen as a result) we will look at a further 2 examples.

One celebrity effectively paid with her life due to a lifetime of pushing cosmetic surgery to the extreme. Lola Ferrari sprang to fame on the TV show "Eurotrash" and her brush with fame and a possible case of body dysmorphic disorder left her with a need to undergo many varied forms of plastic surgery in a bid to achieve the perfect face and body.

Lola underwent many procedures to alter her lips, cheeks, eyebrows, nose, forehead and stomach. It was for her breast enlargement procedure that she hit the news though after attaining the world's largest breasts. Each breast weighed 6lbs and caused Lola to suffer from severe back problems and placed strain on her heart. Lola died in 2000 after suffering both physically and mentally for many years as a result of her surgical enhancement operations.

Pete Burns (former front man of Dead or Alive) suffered for 17 months and underwent an alleged 100 corrective operations after a lip implant procedure went wrong. After a series of injections to achieve lips seen to be unnatural he was left with painful swelling, blisters, thick discharge and was unable to eat or drink.

It seems from these cases that in a society obsessed with youth and looking perfect it is very easy for celebrities to take it that little bit too far in a vein attempt to look better than the rest.

The moral of the story, it seems, is to make sure you are certain you want to go ahead with any cosmetic surgery procedure and to remember that the procedure will not change your life but can help increase your confidence. If used to turn back the years in a careful manner it can be very effective but you should always ensure you use only the best of surgeons to ensure you don't suffer disastrous results. Research in this area always pays off.

You should always seek an experienced and qualified surgeon to ensure the cosmetic surgery procedures you undergo run smoothly. Particular care should be taken in choosing an accredited surgeon when undergoing breast augmentation surgery to ensure you get a safe and effective result as with any plastic surgery.
