  1. A coworker went on leave and got some plastic surgery ahd she already had a good shape but yea she spent like 12k and tbh she looks the same. She has goals to be like video girl/singer but that field you're competing with teens and mid 20 somethings and she's already mid (maybe later now) 30s. After seeing this I'm so glad she's ok and survived.

  2. The woman who died. She had 3 kids. 3 kids are growing without their mother because of vanity. What goes through your mind that you RISK YOUR LIFE and leaving your children without a mother for something you don't need?!

  3. I will speak from my own experiences!! I have had 3 cosmetic procedures in my life span..one a breast reduction..second a tummy tuck ..and my last one was a BBL!! And I survived all 3 with no complications!! I'm over 40 and naturally my body doesn't heel like it did when I was in my 20's!! So for me it was about finding the Best Plastic Surgeon in the US to do my surgeries!! After that I did my research on each Dr because as this video clearly showed there are some Chop Shop Dr's out here!! Once I found the Dr I was going with then I began to prep and prepare for these surgeries!! And followed all my Dr's medical advice and Thanks Be To God I made it through without any complications!! Ladies my advice to you if you decide to go and have any cosmetic surgery/procedure done PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST!! Read over all the Dr's criteria and his medical background where he or she went to school so forth and so on!! So that you know 😮 will know everything about this Doctor going in!! Once you've done that then do your part!! Don't smoke or Drink Alcohol before the procedure start taking your iron supplements 45 to 30 days out before your surgery!! Make sure your labs are All Up To Date and that per your Primary Doctor has advised you that your Cleared For Medical Surgery!! Say a Prayer 🤲🏽 when you go in and Ask Our Heavenly Father to watch over you while your under!! If all goes to plan you will make it through!! My thoughts and prayers 🙏🏽 are with all the families that have lost a love one!! This video was Phenomenal 🎇 and Thanks for Sharing💟

  4. The doctors value money over human life, and the patients value vanity over their own life… both take gambles, and both lose sometimes.. I think there are no real villains and victims here…

  5. I hear that what the Dr's are doing is not right, and needs to be better controlled, but if people keep thinking they can just pay for a better body, and they will receive it, then they are just as much to blame.

  6. RIP Nadia😢
    I’m haunted by the morgue calling me that you passed
    You were so beautiful and whoever convinced you to do that procedure including the doctor and care giver who waited over a month to contact family hope God judges accordingly

  7. Easy fix. Women should start focusing on dignity and intelligence. Put the freaking phone down and put some clothes on. You're not that important.

  8. Worst journalism ever. "So she died?" "So she didnt have to die?" "So, you said she is dead, so she's dead?" Why not talk about the hip hop culture that is promoting it in young women!

  9. All because we have become lazy, instead of exercising, and eating well, going under the knife seems easier, not knowing that in a matter of time, they will be Back where they started. If you don’t know how to take care of your body, you will gain it all back, the weight that is. Love yourselves,

  10. Shelia doesn't look healthy even from her face, she really needs a healthier lifestyle and I hope her daughters grow up loving themselves and not desire such procedures
