Which one you prefer works for me. She turned herself from a pretty young woman into a monster from a movie. Her lame excuse is she looked "bland". Actually, even with no talent but the right makeup artist and wardrobe, she could have had a part in some youth Sit-com. Or, could have married any of a hundred suitors and been happy with a family life.
Why someone didn't do an intervention is beyond me. I understand breast implants, face surgery as women age, and a couple tasteful tattoos, but she turned herself into a alien creature. Yes, she will regret it and probably go out early by suicide or drugs.
