When it comes to plastic surgery, the risks can be severe. Permanent pain, disfigurement due to scarring or asymmetry, paralysis, or even death can occur when plastic surgery goes wrong. Unfortunately, celebrities are not immune to these risks. From Jocelyn Wildenstein to Jennifer Grey, these celebs have experienced some of the worst plastic surgery outcomes of all time.
The U. S. State Department has even issued a warning about the cosmetic surgery business in the Dominican Republic due to reports of U. citizens suffering serious complications or dying after procedures.
Khloé Kardashian, Tara Reid and Janice Dickinson are just a few of the celebrities who have admitted to going overboard with cosmetic surgery procedures. Donatella Versace has also undergone a series of surgeries since the 1990s. Centers for Disease Control issued an alert after 19 women in five states developed serious mycobacterial wound infections after cosmetic procedures in the Dominican Republic. Jordan flew to Turkey for a mini tummy tuck, back transfer, liposuction, buttock implants and teeth whitening as part of a discounted package.
Social networks have amplified certain physical traits and spread beauty ideals to the masses, leading to an increase in cosmetic procedures among young patients and even adolescents. The body horror genre has seen more works that highlight surgical procedures, specifically cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgeons and medical boards have long warned against traveling abroad for risky cosmetic procedures without doing proper research, but some patients still take risks. Since then, Searles has undergone seven surgeries to try to rectify his failed surgery abroad and has been left with nasty scars on his stomach after his stitches opened.
