Hang Mioku before cosmetic surgery ruined her appearance

Following operation after operation, her face was eventually left enlarged and disfigured, but she would still look at herself in the mirror and think she was beautiful.
Eventually the surgeons she visited refused to carry out any more work on her and one suggested that her obsession could be a sign of a psychological disorder.
When she returned home to Korea the surgery meant Hang's features had changed so much that her own parents didn't recognise her.
After realising that the girl with the grossly swollen face was indeed their daughter her horrified parents took her to a doctor. Once again the possibility that Hang had a mental disorder was raised and she started treatment.
However, this treatment was too expensive for her to keep up and she soon fell back into old ways.
Amazingly, she found a doctor who was willing to give her silicone injects and, what's more, he then gave her a syringe and silicone of her own so she could self-inject.
When her supply of silicone ran out Hang resorted to injecting cooking oil into her face.

Well, that worked out wonderfully. /sarc
It’s good to have a hobby.
Some of her doctors must be certifiable.

She’s messed up in the head, like a lot of Obama voters.
She was a cute woman. One would think a surgeon could recognize an OCD so blatantly obvious as hers.

The problem with being mad is that you do not know you are mad. Which is the scariest thing about losing one's mind.
In her case she looks in the mirror and sees an improvement. It reminds me of some old book on positive thinking where the author (I believe he used to be a plastic surgeon) commented that most people who go for cosmetic surgery have problems INSIDE their heads (e.g. self-esteem, psychological skewing, lack of self worth) and not a problem with their nose or features or what-not.
This reminds me of those people with anorexia, who will go and starve themselves even when it is obvious to all around them that they passed the 'too-skinny' threshold quite a while back.
Mental illness, like this case, is quite frightening.

LOL. I just KNEW that Helen T. picture would show up!
That Helen Thomas photo is like granny’s Christmas fruitcake from 1972 - it just NEVER GOES AWAY, does it??
You said it.....
Scary, isn’t it?
