Having watched a lot of Botched-episodes, I am now aware of how many people think you can just... take the things out. It's often so much more complicated.

Honestly I'm surprised it's that woman in particular. She has been so defensive and adamant that she was happy. I feel for her. Hope she finds a way out from such an extreme.

I think it is great that she decided to be as open as she is about trying to walk back that lifestyle, takes guts

Also, even if you don’t intend on ever having implants removed, they usually have to be redone every 10-15 years. So if you get them when you’re 20 and live til 80, that’s a minimum of 4 surgeries! Just to keep them looking right and to prevent them from leaking or bursting after so long. So few people EVER talk about that reality. These surgeries are not always “for life”

It's already a red flag when she called extreme surgery that can put your life at risk "a fun happy hobby"

I'm glad she is "going back" unfortunately I've never seen a single comment that was polite or nice about her. And I understand that she did it for herself but still. The comments I've seen over the years are terrible and mean.

It’s so sad to just hear her talk… the way the lip injections make it difficult for her to even speak… my heart goes out to anyone who’s transformed their body to such an extreme degree.

I cut all my hair off during a mental breakdown recently and I don't love how it looks. I've been wearing wigs, but I'm struggling with how long the consequences of that impulse decision will last- a long time until the hair grows back. Seeing Mary own, regret and reverse these surgeries strangely comforted and made feel better about my own (comparatively much smaller) cosmetic mistake. I appreciate the honesty. It was a good reminder that it's okay to change your mind and learn from your mistakes, but also to think through altering your body in the first place. Especially if doing so is putting your health and safety at risk.

I love that you’re talking about this. I think there is this idea, especially among younger people, that plastic surgery is magical, always perfect, always the best choice. It’s important to hear the voices of people who have regrets.

It was nice when Lorry Hill showed in detail what just regular recovery looks like after plastic surgery. And that alone freaked me out. I can’t imagine when it goes wrong or when you have to remove. It’s gotta be so hard on their bodies.

When I got my second hyaluronic filler under the eye (dark circles), the doctor told me;" You know there is a minimal chance that you could go blind, right? It's a 0.01%, but I have to tell you the risks." I was horrified! Thinking about my first time, when another Doctor even forgot that he already done one side. (Thousand thanks to the assistant who told him) And not telling me anything about the fact that I could go blind... Chose your Doctor wisely, even if it's "such" a little surgery. And don't save on your body, by getting "a better deal"

i used to have a “do whatever you want” attitude towards cosmetic surgery but now i just see it as sad, keeling to the expectations of society by changing your body in this way will always bite your because the standards are always changing

I’ve had bone lengthening surgery on my jaw to correct a massive overbite that a regular jaw surgery couldn’t fix. I ended up having so many complications that I ended up having 5 jaw surgeries within a span of 3months. It took me a whole year to full recover and I’m still experiencing some pain from it. There’s so many consequences that can happen with corrective surgery

In a similar vein I always appreciate people who talk about tattoo remorse/removal for extreme large pieces. Its important to tell the truth about your experience. There are tons of reasons these surgeries are not performed by many surgeons. I hope that she recovers well and heals.

i mean, a lot of folks could really use this as a learning moment. When I was looking into transitioning, hearing detrans povs as well as people who were happy with their transitions really helped me make more informed decisions before proceeding with alterations. And shaming people for talking about it is only really silencing what someone else may be able to learn from. (thank you for not doing that also)

Man, I feel bad for that lady. I hope she gets well.

I remember watching this Dr.Oz episode about the woman who wanted to look exactly like Barbie and got some of her ribs removed. I always wondered how that would affect her.

Luxuria is a wonderful KZfaqr that has done two different types of documentaries//video journal of her plastic surgery process. Really great series

Mary has a very sweet, and genuine soul. I wish her all the best on her journey.

i wish nothing but the best for mary. it takes a lot of courage to admit your regret, especially so publicly

I think surgery has become too accessible- you can walk into a lot of random cosmetic spas for permanent fillers, lipo, etc. Not only are they often so unsafe, but there is a huge amount of self-awareness that needs to be present before any kind of surgery or cosmetic procedure. I'm happy to see more people being kind about others choices regarding their bodies, and I hope that same energy is kept for people who may regret more complicated procedures they have undergone.

I've been following her for a while now and I'm super proud of her and appreciate that she's choosing to be so straight up about everything that's happening now. I'm not surprised because that's just how she is with all things lmao, but I appreciate it nonetheless. I think it will hopefully be a sobering reality check for some people. It really isn't just one or two surgeries to live like that, it's often a lifelong project that's expensive and exhausting and people's interests and focuses in life tend to change. You might not wanna have your butt fixed for the fourth time, it probably won't be as fun lol. It's a commitment beyond what most people would really want, almost everyone in fact.

It's interesting to see to what extent these things can be reversed. Obviously, some surgeries aren't reversible. I hope she heals well and is satisfied with her changes.

damn, i remember seeing her interview on soft white underbelly. she genuinely seems like a nice girl and i hope things work out for her

I am pursuing gender affirming procedures and have found accounts of people whose surgeries had complications very helpful in order to manage my expectations. They have not deterred me from pursuing the surgeries but it is important to know both the physical and mental strain that awaits you both during the surgery and afterwards during the recovery process. It also may help you spot that something is wrong relatively early.

“You should’ve just loved yourself” because that is always so easy for people. Lol

Whenever you say, “does that make sense?” I get the inner teacher vibes from you- I just know you were probably the BEST teacher ever. But anyway, I love your videos and your thoughts & opinions on things. Sending love ❤️

This is really interesting as I’ve been following her for a while. It’s like the guy with full face tattoos who is now on the process of removing them all. It’s just cool to see them grow and change their mind. I think it’s ok to change your mind and people act like they are dumb for not thinking of this sooner, but we all grow and change. I hope she is ok and her process is as smooth as it can be

It's crazy to me that Mary never had any foresight of what it would be like being 40, 50, 60 or even 70 years old with those extreme modifications. How people can behave so short sighted about something that becomes a part of their body forever is wild to me. I'm glad she's speaking out about the realistic complications, but I feel like people are gonna do what they are gonna do and people who go to extremes probably won't be persuaded by facts.

I didn't know Mary Magdelene actually did it! I'm really happy for her. She got to a dangerous point with her surgery, very dangerous. I bet when it's all done and healed she's gonna feel so much better.

I truly hope she is okay. With her popped implant, that amount of silicone in her body cannot be good. It is extremely helpful that she is sharing her journey, as there was probably someone who idolizes her and her body. Her transparency is appreciated and needed.

Please please before anyone judges too harshly, Mary is just so down-to-earth, honest and transparent. If you watch any of her interviews I can promise you will fall in love with her personality. Obviously to go through so many procedures and spend so much money on these extreme modifications is not healthy physically, emotionally or mentally. But she is who she is and is genuine, open and authentic about everything, which is very rare to come across these days.

Im sad for her but I'm so glad she's being real about it now. I saw her saying how much she loved it all before. I think often people it bad situations pretend its great (particualrly when they make their living with it) till they're out. I hope she at least dissuades a few surgeries from happening. Hoping her the best health she can have going fowards

Honestly lately I’ve noticed I’ve been seeing more plastic surgery ads especially on KZfaq like a Botox one and them hyping it up as simple, clean, easy, and painless… it’s honestly worrying that these things are being marketed as safe and ok to dive into on an extreme level. I’m glad she’s being transparent about the issues she faces by choosing this lifestyle.

Plastic surgery is amazing, it isn't just to look pretty. It has life saving functions. I do respect her for being honest about what she was going through. That can save a few people from going down this pit.

i’ve seen her quite a few times in the past year and seeing her struggle to go back to normal is so tough. although yeah it was her choice to make these decisions, i feel for her going through her crappy recovery but it’s awesome of her to document it for others to see the consequences of these choices.

When u choose the behavior u choose the consequence. Being botched/regretting is a huge consequence u gotta deal with.

I really appreciate this woman sharing so openly. It appears she has endured a paradigm shift in thought that has brought her full-circle. The reversal process must be horrific both physical and mentally. I hope she finds peace.

I like that she’s so aware of herself. She admits that she put herself in this position, and is actually quite lucky considering, but she’s still being straight up about how much it SUCKS to have extreme surgery & decide to have it removed

I saw that post of Mary's boob popping on my Instagram for you page a few days ago. With any surgery, there's a bunch of complications that can happen. Plastic surgery specifically is very risky if you are doing it frequently and to the extremes. I have a weird curiosity with plastic/reconstruction surgeries. Also to reverse the extreme is risky too. In Mary's case, the skin of her boobs will be stretched (and possibly thin) so she might want to have a boob lift so they aren't saggy. I'm not a profession but that's just my assumption. Also I think going under anesthesia is harmful the more you are under it. But don't quote me on that. I wish her good luck

Plastic surgeons who go this far, dismissing the fact that their clients are going through problems, should have their licences revoked Just cuz a client is asking for the extreme option doesn't mean you should go along with it

The perfect is the enemy of the good. Good for her being so open and honest. It's healthy to change your mind sometimes

The first 10 seconds of your videos are always so comforting. I watched your vids a lot during covid and middle school when I was coping w somm. You're a very comforting person to me. Love your vids and miss the veil lifted series

I really feel for her as she’s being so vulnerable and real about it. Young girls definitely need to see it too. Great coverage of this topic, always love your videos! Hope you’re having a great day today :)

I was just watching another channel I enjoy who is very open and real with their sobriety journey. I put a comment that I appreciate his openness and making himself vulnerable in a world that is airbrushed perfection all the freaking time. I felt it was brave and really hit me hard in a good way to reflect on my past and make friends with it. I think more people being real ( not realityyyyy fake tv) but truly real is refreshing if they feel comfortable opening up because it does help people a lot.

It’s so refreshing to hear from someone with a balanced perspective on this. Not judging people for plastic surgery but also not minimizing the very real physical and mental health issues that can accompany it.

Her talking about her experience is so important, being real about it when the internet is so fake these days and everyone only shows their best side or an altered version of reality. That takes guts

I think its good to share the story so people can see the reality of these surgeries. It can help people rethink their plans.

The swan always got to me as a kid. Turning plastic surgery into a competition was messed up

i have had multiple surgeries and procedures and am a huge supporter of people doing whatever makes then happy if it's safe, healthy, and they are certain it will improve their life/well-being. but i am glad this woman discussed the complications that can happen. it's unfortunately not easy to have things fixed or changed or removed, and it's not as simple as picking out a boob size and that's that.

Aww , I love Mary ❤ I hope she finds a place of comfort and beauty that she feels good about.

I don’t know why doctors were allowed to do this to her body in the first place. There definitely needs to be a limit placed on these things.

Good for her power thing as she stated she’s just really tired. I can’t imagine how her body has to deal with all of this let alone her soul and her health constantly. Thanks for doing a story on this. Always appreciate your time and energy. Love your channel.

I'm so grateful for those who are honest about the difficulties that come with this extreme life... Small boobs are fine and you don't get the terrible back aches and everything looks fine on them. When will we realize that certain "this is me!" situations are symptoms of mental issues. I don't mean dyeing your hair or wearing some bright colors I mean permanently modifying your body.

It's cool to see that a platform is uprising for the negative side and effects of extreme changes to alter the body.

I remember back in the day Heidi Montag went for a bunch of surgeries all at once. I can't remember the exact number, but it was A LOT and she was unrecognizable afterwards. Her mother cried. Her husband Spencer started referring to her bosom as "pool floaties" or something like that. Heidi has since opened up about all of this in a different way than she did at the time. I don't judge anyone for getting surgeries, but when they take it to extremes, I can't help but worry about how they're doing on the inside. We all have things we want to change about ourselves, most of us are our own worst critics. I feel for those who have taken it to the extreme, but appreciate them opening up about the downsides. When I was younger and debating on saving up to change my insecurities, Perez Hilton was just starting to get big and I read a lot of gossip rags. Those magazines would often show surgeries gone wrong with celebrities. Tara Reid was like their poster child of that. It made me realize "These people can afford the best of the best and it still can go wrong. They can afford to fix it if it does go wrong and taking time off work isn't going to financially hurt them the same way it would me. It's probably better to just learn to live with my flaws. A lot more affordable and less risky, anyways." But younger people don't read magazines so much anymore, so it's very important that people like this woman speak out.

It’s good for people to see the risks and the rewards when making big decisions

i mean honestly, this is a product of beauty standards. sucks that she was victim of this, and realized they’re bogus only after trying to subscribe to them in her own terms :( hope she finds peace and healing

Blance is healthy. People need to understand that we all make mistakes whether we admit it or not, we all deserve second chances to grow and be a better person, that's the beautiful thing about human growth.

I feel bad for Mary even as ridiculous as she has behaved in the past. At LEAST she is doing a public service and sharing her discontent for anyone who might be considering it .

i’ve come across mary’s ig before and she always seemed like such a nice person and i wish her the best!

People really be thinking they’re made of play-do

Girl your highlight is on point today

Bravo! Thank you for doing this to assist those who are considering extreme modifications to their natural body!

The fact that the constant surgery people don't get hooked on the meds (that I'm aware of) is so impressive to me! So many people get hooked after injuries and surgery and don't get the correct support from the medical community!

I kinda want to see Julia's reaction to The Black Alien Project now. The lengths he's going to is kinda scary.

Those shows put me off even lip filler and I'm grateful because I wanted it as a teen but now I'm in my mid 20s, I know about the lack of regulation (in the UK, I have nothing against anyone getting anything done, my best friend has beautiful lips I just wouldn't risk it now). The extreme surgeries have always fascinated me too because of these shows, I can't imagine the toll that would take on her body, I hope she recovers and is happy. So many surgeons imo are too quick to perform so much surgery on people that have body issues, so many are quick to take their money. It makes me so sad seeing those who regret it and realise that their issues were psychological and not physically a problem. I love Mary's transparency

Love the video starting great conversations about plastic surgery that benefit so many :)

This is a very interesting topic thank you for covering it, I myself actually have not seen this side of plastic surgeries at all so this was very educational.

I have a couple clients who are wanting to do reduction, so much back pain so I’m sure she’s going through that… you gotta do what will make you happy, but know it’s a lifetime commitment and there are bad BAD surgeons too that aren’t sanitary, aren’t safe and wont listen to what you want so you have to tread carefully

Can we talk about the surgeons who does these proccedures? The lack of ethics and education ends on this. People should be evaluated (not in every case) for levels of body dysmorphia. When the case it's severe I don't recommend having them, the problem could be getting worse leading to other and more complex disorders, because they aren't working on the main causes. I'm a psychotherapist specialized in body dysmorphia and ED and i've seen a lot of problem after surgeries to lose weight :/ I love your channel! Saludos from chile 💕

i hope Mary gets help I feel so bad for her and she rly doesn’t deserve this she rly is a sweet girl

I love Mary and her personality. I hope she recovers quickly and feels better about herself.

The human body isn’t made for us to play surgeon, the fact that we can make our body accept certain surgeries, is lucky for us. Opening up the human body isn’t normal and isn’t wanted by our own bodies. Your body can reject whatever you do to it. And dealing with a painful post op is the absolute worst. Whatever the surgery is.

Whatever doctor agreed to do this to her needs to have their license revoked.

it’s so healthy for not only her but other people to be able to look at her full story.

Thank you so much for bringing light to this, I think we forget sometimes that not only actions have repercussions but that we are still humans even after we make mistakes. We need to talk more about what happens after the surgeries, and why things like this happen to begin with so each person who whishes to go through this operations knows exactly what to expect and what comes with it.

Totally agree with you and I really appreciate your ability to articulate your thoughts and opinions. I find I often agree with everything you say but can struggle to explain myself to others. Keep it up!♥️

How can a doctor do this to a person??

I used to watch one too that would sometimes show Extreme plastic surgeries like the guy who wanted to be a ken doll, it usually focused so much on the amount of money he had spent and what he was getting next, so i do Think its good to have this perspective where its showing the “other side” ive usually been pretty positive in what ever makes you happy unless youre hurting others. I dont really push but i dont stop people kinda stuff if you want to get plastic surgery go ahead if that Will make you happy, if you dont want it anymore then thats fine too sorta thing

Makes me nervous to even have a breast reduction/augmentation surgery in the future. I just want less back pain and less saggy boobs 😅 Pay close attention to your plastic surgeon everyone!!!

I’ve been following her since soft white underbelly made a video, I’m glad she’s coming out of this phase, it’s so sad that she used so much money in pursuit of this body only to have it fail on her, which was inevitable. But I’m glad she’s going for a more natural look, if that makes her happier

I think the scariest part of plastic surgery is that it never seems to end. Even if it's one procedure, you usually have maintain it with regular visits. On the other hand, you "fix" one thing, and now everything else looks "off", so you go to get another "tweakment" to make it match, and it spirals...

I always feel a spark of hope when I hear you critique polarization. People just jump to one extreme or another. It’s like they’re allergic to nuance.

@ the shows you meant, The Swan hit hard lol I think about them a lot when this is brought to light. I do remember seeing this particular person you're covering posting a few years ago how happy and hopeful they were for the future (i originally saw them in like 2017-2018 reuploaded vid---) when they did an interview where they addressed WHY they originally went into this- it's HIGH KEY what you're covering here

I remember those days. It was, to put it bluntly modern day freak shows. I'm not calling the people who got the surgeries freaks but the exploitation and speculation of the people. Some shows glamorized it, some really hurt those people. I recall "the swan" they did little to help the mental aspects and focused on the physical. Like those people had little confidence and they were sent before surgeons who thought just like that lady who gave her unsolicited take on what surgeries celebrities should get to turn themselves into the same looking people. Glad we're moving into "ok get it but know the risks."

I LOVE your voice!!!! I'm so glad you don't offen have a vocal fry in your speech is clear and easy understand like a news forecaster

she seems like a creative but troubled person. if you go on her instagram, she makes paintings that look a lot like how she made herself look. i feel as though she almost attempted to make herself the art, but is now realizing that she regrets losing herself in the process. i’m not trying to intellectualize getting massive balloon implants, but i feel like people who have surgery to this extent always have something deeper going on. i’m glad she’s continuing to evolve.

I had lip fillers for the first time about 1 months ago. My body metabolised them in 3 weeks. I felt much more attractive in myself with a bit of a bigger top lip but the expenses seems hardly worth it. I hope Mary heals, mentally and physically.

Thank you for touching on if you want plastic surgery in general, there is nothing wrong with that it's more to do with the extreme looks. I keep getting backlash from my family over wanting essentially a plate put in for my eye socket to keep my eye from sinking into my head. My ex-husband shattered it (acute orbital fracture) and I honestly just want my face back. I have to look at what he did to me every single day. Not to mention eventually it will become a medical problem and affect my eyesight. Yes, it's considered a 'cosmetic' procedure but I really don't understand how they are okay with themselves getting breast implants but are not okay with me having something that was destroyed "repaired". I just want my face back and to prevent issues in the future, that's all. It is a delicate area and things could go wrong however the same can be said of much more common procedures. Edit: I've had to look at it for over 10 years. It was not taken care of when it happened because the VA took so long with the paperwork, it had begun to 'heal'. I was told it would cause more damage to try and 'fix it' at that point.

People never think of the future, especially when they're young. They think they'll always be invincible or don't care if they "go away" young. But when they DO end up sticking around, they realize that you change to a certain degree as you age/mature, but moreso, your body can't handle the things it used to as u age, especially if you stress it out to degrees like this. I've always wanted to fix 2 parts of my body that I've always hated, but one would probably require implants and thinking about possible long-term difficulties is what's always stopped me from getting it.

I personally wouldn't get plastic surgery unless it's medically necessary. It's just not worth breaking the bank. I don't want to shame anyone who has gotten it or wants to get it, as long as they're happy that's all that matters. I just personally wouldn't get it.

This is very brave of her to speak out and show this. She will get a lot of backlash and mean comments

This video was amazing, I'm sorry for what the lady went through but she is showing the outcome to help people 🙏

Truly hoping she escapes this without paying the rest of her life in autoimmune currency. Can’t imagine what it was like to move around in the world in the state she was previously. Imagine trying to just sleep? Or, use the restroom? She probably feels so much more comfortable already and wishing her a speedy, and full, recovery! The human body just isn’t made to support all these “extra features” or “addons”.

I love Mary. I always have. I’m super proud of her for being honest with herself and others. Takes a lot of guts to admit you’re unhappy with your own decisions

I don’t know if you caught it but she said something along the lines of when I look at my surgeries I just see the trauma I was in.

She deserve all the support

i think surgeons should also have a duty of care to deny procedures like this after a certain point. im not sure what the criteria would be for them to deny or accept it, but there should be something in place. most surgeons are orientated around money so i doubt that would ever happen, but it is literally feeding into an addiction. if this was any other form of addiction it would be looked down upon and/or advised against, not enabled. i think mary is doing a good thing by documenting her experience with removing everything though! as you say, there arent many people who have gone to her extreme, so it's fascinating to learn about the process and the mentality she's going through at the minute. i just wish surgeons would deny these clearly dangerous procedures and think about what's best for the patient & how it might effect them in the future, not just how much ££ the surgeon will get.

Great subject. I think as we all get older we view and value things so much differently. I think it's incredibly important for people considering anything to really look at both sides. It's so easy to see what you want and just stop there. I applaud the fact that she's showing the other side of things. She's just human. But we all benefit when we learn about other experiences. Thanks for this video.
