When does a person's love for plastic surgery
cross that line from hobby into a full blown addiction?
Lacy's been put under anesthesia 47 times,
has undergone 12 breast augmentations.
She insists her love of plastic surgery,
it's not an addiction.
On the other hand, Krystina feels her love
of plastic surgery is an addiction,
but still has no intention of stopping in her quest
to look like a caricature of herself.
I was always a tomboy because I was the only girl
and my mom used to try and dress me up, turn me into a girl
and it never happened.
Hair tied back and just having fun.
I was 15 when I went on my holiday to Spain.
I was walking down the street
and I saw an artist doing caricature drawings.
I knew right away I wanted to have a drawing done of me,
so I got in line and cued up to have the drawing done.
When I saw the picture, I loved it
and I knew I wanted to look like that someday.
After I got the picture done, I started experimenting
with makeup, I started using the tanning salons
and having hair extensions.
When I was 17 years old, I had my first boob job.
After the boob job, I went on to have Botox, collagen,
and another four breast enlargements
and the semi-permanent makeup.
So far, I've spent about $200,000.
At the minute, I'm looking for a new surgeon
to carry out another boob job.
I want to double the size of what they are now,
which would take them to 2,000 cc.
(Krystina giggling)
Krystina, I'll be frank with you,
I've never heard of this before.
I'm a little bit speechless.
I am speechless.
When you have a caricature drawing done,
they're almost trying to make you look
like a cartoon character.
And I wanted to be the exaggeration.
But, you see where you're heading?
You've already had multiple breast surgeries.
I have.
I don't think you're ever going to be happy
with yourself, no matter how many surgeries we do.
No, it's just, it's a hobby to me,
this sort of thing to do.
What you are doing, it's not a hobby it's an addiction
and it's an addiction that's affecting your health.
That's where the problem is.
If it were just a hobby and you were doing things
that were reversible that weren't harming your health,
we would say go for it.
If you can afford $200,000, spend it.
But, when you cross that threshold, and this is Dr. Ordon,
he knows and he puts in breast implants for a living.
That's right.
And each time you do breast surgery,
you increase the chances of developing complications.
So, how 'bout we stop here
Yeah.
And you find another hobby?
Okay?
I never, over these 15 years, had a point
where I've thought, "This is terrible, I really don't want
"such a bad experience that I don't want to do it again."
It's not that you hurt right now,
it's that we've seen this and if you continue,
you're gonna be like our patients that we see
who always say to us, "If only I could've
"done something differently to have prevented this
"from happening."
If you keep going, you're gonna end up
with probably skin cancer and intractable back pain
and who knows what else, a life threatening infection.
So, having said all that, we hope you'll take some time
on your plane ride home and at least reconsider.
And obviously we wish you all the best.
