To think that 5 children growing up motherless because their Mum wanted cosmetic surgery is absolutely tragic *edited by MNHQ

About 2000.

All surgery is risky and why people shouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary I know 2 people who died from gastric band surgery. Both left behind young children

I'm also fed up of people setting up GoFund Me pages for everything.

Granted that you don't have to contribute but someone dying from unnecessary plastic surgery doesn't seem a worthy cause. Lots of people lose family members in tragic circumstances but don't get the begging bowl out to fund a fancy funeral or whatever.

I used to have a nice peachy bum. Over the years it’s got flatter but never have I been tempted or pressured by anyone to have a Brazilian bum lift.

I agree, what on earth was she (not) thinking! Was the size of her arse really more important than her children. How the heck do you even have time to think about these things when you’re raising five kids. I didn’t even have time to shower having two children.

Her poor kids, I’d be feeling pretty angry as I got older that my mother put vanity before everything else.

Medicine is complicated. Especially human medicine. Takes weeks to learn.

Plus it's likely that any qualified practitioner wouldn't touch a job like this with a bargepole.

But it's your choice and responsibility to yourself at the end of the day.

If anyone walks into a salon and sees two practitioners with the botched asthethic that the owner and their assistant had, then my advice would be to RUN. Honestly they looked like Frankenstein’s monster’s family.

Looking at her social media feed, she was performing "liquid nose jobs", skinny jabs, botox and lip fillers on other women too.

There really does need to be a massive crackdown on people offering these sorts of "procedures" without any medical training whatsoever.

@poppyzbrite4 yes. But because I want too. Not for any other reason. I don't care what other people think of my looks.

How very tragic. Just read about this on the BBC site. And she was absolutely beautiful!

I wasn't talking about only about women in the public eye. I also talked about the pressure on women through social media. There is a lot of pressure on women to look good. The beauty industry is a trillion dollar business. I'm surprised you've never encountered this concept.

She had a 3 year old and she didn't want him to be teased at school for having a fat Mum, and now he has no Mum.

That‘s absolutely heartbreaking.

Maybe right maybe it's lack of common sense intelligence instead. I mean would any of you trust a service who is run by this man to do work on your body? I certainly wouldn't.

Exactly!

Cross posted! Exactly!!

you have to go down a very particular social media rabbit hole to think a ludicrously misshapen arse will transform your life

Do you think? I am quite shocked by the images I see on Instagram - I follow a lot of athletes and even they pose away from the track in a way that makes their arses look as big as possible. I think it goes way beyond a particular rabbit hole. Goodness knows why they think it's attractive.

@5foot5 the kardashians (bar Kendall) all had BBLs and that kicked it off

I’m really confused as to how this has happened. They’ve injected liquid into her bottom, presumably she wasn’t knocked out, they haven’t cut her. She died within hours of it being done. I wouldn’t have thought necrosis would be that quick. Did they inject into a vein or something?
She’s been stupid to have it done by someone obviously unqualified but there does need to be a crack down on these non medics performing procedures

Men probably aren't as stupid as to do it!

I don't understand why any woman wants a mahoosive arse!! For most of my life, women have wanted smaller ones!

Yes this! When I was that woman's age I wished I had a smaller behind. Well actually by the time I was that age I had long since accepted that it is what it is, but when I was much younger I would have loved a smaller, flatter arse rather than the more rounded, sticky out one that seems to be what I inherited.

When did times change?

As do women. It's not the same thing at all.

I dont think its men at all. Its competing against other women. Do you think her wrong'un of a boyfriend wanted an arse full of filler?

Yes but the average woman isn't in the public eye. No excuse for blaming pressure from society.

Honestly not sure I agree that we can blame men on the mental health/image obsession that might prompt someone to get these procedures - I think this is more of a social media and cosmetic industry issue, just women going down a rabbit hole and then probably lots of targeted ads to push users closer and closer to booking a procedure in.

In real life men partner up with women with a wide range of body types. I'm not especially gorgeous but I'm happily married and my husband has never made me feel bad about my appearance - if I've ever felt bad it's been myself comparing my looks to other women/adverts or other women making shitty comments to me. I think it's a really complicated issue that can't be boiled down to just men.

There definitely is pressure on women to have ‘slim thicc’ bodies, full lips, smooth skin (Botox).

One of my friend’s daughters has 9 A* grades for GCSEs and got anorexia.

No one is immune.
