Cosmetic surgery addict injected cooking oil into her own face (Disturbing pictures advisory)
The Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | November 11, 2008

Hang Mioku, now 48, had her first plastic surgery procedure when she was 28; hooked from the beginning she moved to Japan where she had further operations - mostly to her face.

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.

Her face became so grotesquely large that she was called "standing fan" by children in her neighbourhood - due to her large face and small body.

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.

I tried to laugh, but when I saw her 'before' picture I realized that she is simply just barking insane. She looked nice before, with a wonderful smile, and now she is just ...well ...!!!!!!

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.
