Unlicensed Doctors Botched My Face

In Thailand, an unregulated cosmetic enhancement industry is thriving. Botched procedures undertaken by unlicensed practitioners are leaving patients disfigured and forced to spend thousands on reconstructive surgery.

Even WITH a licensed doctor, there are risks. NEVER go to an unlicensed one. You only have one body.

[bloatedsodium]

As an unlicensed doctor, i approve of this message.

[ncktyu]

Social media is like a cancer in our society

[justineebourgeois]

This is why you don’t mess with your face at all!

[G_D_K]

That "Unlicensed Doctor" contact is hilarious

[miaowmiaowchowface]

interesting vid and I like that you chose a reporter who is fluent in thai rather than using a translator. Always interesting to learn about people in other countries

She was already beautiful without the enhancements. It's sad that a lot of beautiful people think they need additional procedures and end up disfiguring themselves.

This is way I no longer participate in social media. Everyone deceptively seems richer, smarter, prettier, taller, happier than you are.

[cloutmuzikbeats]

I feel for these individuals because it’s a sickness to want perfection

[cengiz]

I feel so sad for her, the process to reconstruct her face looked like hell. I’m happy to see she’s continued her life and is going strong, gaining her confidence back. Thank you for sharing her sorry

[SuiteVII]

I love how everyone is being honest about their own cosmetic surgery

[amberOH]

She should speak to teenagers about this. I'm so glad she's made peace within 🙏

[PresidentCoochieGrabber]

If these people knowingly go to unlicensed doctors to get these treatments done then they have no one to blame but themselves. Like why do you think people go through years of school and training to get licenses? it's not just some piece of paper theres actual learning and knowledge involved. Smh

How to avoid this: Don't go to unlicensed doctors

[Papin]

A terrible lesson about the cost of vanity. Kudos for telling your story and exposing the dangers inherent in cosmetic surgery in general.

[abc_cba]

Instead of mocking her, appreciate her for educating us and alerting us about the dangers of surgeries and the cost that it comes with !

[alexlifeson]

Ladies, you don't need enhancement. It doesn't make you more beautiful. You're beautiful the way you are

[bobcosmic]

Word to one all. Be grateful with your natural self !

[crulove]

The world we live in where people feel this is necessary.

[lostinthelookingglas]

She was so beautiful. It's sad she couldn't see that at the time.
