In this age of vanity that we are living in, cosmetic surgery is becoming an increasingly popular mode of body modification for many people. Whether it's a face-lift, a tummy tuck or a boob job, there are an array of procedures for people looking to alter their appearance to varying degrees.
However, with this accessibility, comes extremity. We now have human Ken Dolls, real-life Jessica Rabbits and the man who wants to look like Brooklyn Beckham.

Of course, this crave for extreme procedures leads to a section of them going wrong and this certainly seems to be the case for Allegra Cole. Appearing on E! show Botched, the 44-year-old has opened up about her experience with plastic surgery.
"At the age of 33, I got my first breast implants and they were 800 ccs," Allegra said.
"But I was getting that boob greed a little bit. Wanted to be fuller, bigger."

However, Allegra's "boob greed" got the better of her and she is now asking Botched surgeons Dr Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif to help make her breasts symmetrical again.
To get the size that she desired, Allegra used a website in which people financially support women who want to undergo cosmetic surgery on their breasts.
"They would buy picture sets [or] request certain things for a certain dollar amount and the site would cut the check to the doctor, and you would just go and get implants," Allegra explained.

This time, Allegra had her implants increased to 1,700 ccs - more than double what she had had before. But this didn't suffice. Despite the fact she had an "elephant" on her chest, Allegra still wanted bigger breasts.
"So I found out about a doctor that did tissue expanders where I could expand with saline and grown my implants," Allegra continued.

"I love being in control, and I love being in control of my own breast size."
Within months, Allegra increased the size to over 4,000 ccs. However, having breasts of this size is not easy and the 44-year-old explains that she has to have regular strength training sessions to keep her upper body in good enough shape to carry the excess weight. "I definitely use the gym to strengthen my back and keep my core strong so that I can hold these girls up," she added.

"I actually have 20-plus pounds of weight vest on - but it is the cutest weight vest you've ever worn, I promise."
Allegra claims that she is happy with the size of her breasts, she just wants them to be more symmetrical. "After the expanders were put in, I did notice that my left side sat a little bit higher and was firmer," she said. "The more that I increase the size, the more it became apparent.

"So what I would love for the doctors to be able do is fix the asymmetry." She added: "I'll be the poster child of extreme surgery, but still wear it well."
Allegra's story serves as a clear example about the dangers of extreme surgery. If you're thinking of going under the knife, make sure you think about the procedure and the ramifications it may have.

A woman who underwent surgery on her bottom says she was left in agony and with a deformed behind after the implants rotated inside of her, the Daily Mail reports.
Jabrena, from Georgia, decided to have implants inserted in the region in order to transform her 'beanpole' physique into the more curvaceous figure she had always coveted. But she was far from pleased with the results.
Take a sneak peek of Jabrena's appearance on E!'s Botched:

Jabrena was left with two sizable and artificial-looking implants which made an obvious outline underneath her skin.
Two weeks after the surgery, the swelling had gone down somewhat, and the implant could be seen on the side as though there were a "crease" in her flesh. A month and a half later, though, the implant flipped.
Jabrena told surgeons in a new episode of the E! TV show, Botched, that the implants were so poorly fitted that they somehow managed to rotate inside her body, to the point where they were causing her pain.
Fortunately, the show's surgeons were able to repair the damage and give the patient the bum she had asked for.
The Botched surgeons, Dr Terry Dubrow and Dr Paul Nassif, said the implants had been placed in a pocket (the space surgeons created inside the patient's flesh) which was too large.
That is why the implants failed to stay in place and moved around inside her body. Jabrena's original surgeon offered to try to fix the error for an additional $4,000 but she decided to seek a second opinion from the Botched surgeons instead.
"I just want a little, cute, nice toot butt and not this big honk that I have back here,' she said on the show.
Dr Dubrow described the ordeal as a 'butt dilemma' and said: "We certainly want to help you, but we don't want to restore you to a place that you hate."
This woman was left with a botched face after trying to fix her 'pelican neck':

He added: "Not only are the implants in a pocket that's way too big, but they're in the wrong plane in the pocket, allowing them to flip around too easily. The problem is, if I just take the implants out, she'll have so much sagging skin and no projection that I'll be trading one big problem for another even bigger problem."
Dr Dubrow removed the implants and fluid from Jabrena's buttocks and replaced them with those of a smaller, more flattering shape.
"Before my surgery, I had a saggy butt and implants were flipping," Jabrena said. "But now, thanks to Dr Dubrow, I am finally free of my honk butt and now I finally have that cute toot butt that I've always wanted."

A woman complaining of a botched boob job revealed that she has four implants in her breasts, as a result of what doctors are calling a "forbidden" procedure.
Appearing on Monday's episode of E!'s Botched, Brittany Mann sought help in reversing the disastrous procedure.
As the episode unfolded, it was revealed that Brittany had two sets of implants in each of her breasts. One implant had been placed below the muscle and one above. Seeking the professional opinion of surgeons Dr. Paul Nassif and Dr. Terry Dubrow, she hoped something could be done to fix the situation.
Check out Brittany's appearance on Botched and learn more about her disastrous boob job:

"I am super nervous to tell Dr. Nassif and Dr. Dubrow that I have four implants in," she says in the preview for the episode. "It kind of feels like telling my mom that I did something wrong when I was younger."
Brittany explains that the very first procedure she underwent was a 600cc breast augmentation, which was placed under the muscle - however, the surgery had left her with a displaced implant.
"Immediately after, my implant was actually poking out of my right breast," she says. "My doctor said he wouldn’t touch it, and it wouldn’t be worth fixing."
She was now hoping to get the issue fixed while also going bigger.
"You thought, ‘If I have to get this fixed, I might as well go bigger,’ " Dr. Dubrow says. "That’s exactly what I thought," Brittany responds.
Brittany explains that her surgeon carried out a procedure in which he "stacked" silicone implants inside each of her breasts, to which a shocked Dr. Dubrow replied: "Stack? You have two implants in each breast?" You go to the implant company inserts, it specifically says do not stack implants. It’s forbidden."
Botched airs on Monday at 10pm on E!

We have all been warned of the risks and side-effects that come with undergoing a cosmetic procedure. However, never before have I heard of anybody ending up with a head that looks like Buzz Lightyear's.
Well, that's exactly what happened to 19-year-old Sofia Marroquin from Australia, who took to TikTok to not only show off her "new look", but also her loved ones' reaction to her newly square head.
Marroquin claims that she was left with a brick-shaped head after "getting her face done" and allegedly undergoing a Kybella treatment. This involves nonsurgical injections that are used to reduce excess fat under a person's chin.
But after receiving the non-invasive treatment, Marroquin was left with excess swelling and bruising that resulted in her face literally having right-angles.
In social media video, she says: "Yep, so just got some lovely needles into my face. My family has absolutely no idea what I've just done and I'm about to get their reaction."
And their reactions were P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S.
First up, it was time to see what dad thought of his daughter's Schwarzenegger-like head.
Bringing his hand to his mouth, the teen's dad cries out: "Oh my goodness!"
Sofia's sister then walks in and reacts exactly how I would if my sibling ended up with a square-head - and that is to run throughout the house and drop to the floor while laughing.
Marroquin's best friend then appears in the video, and is seen approaching the front door of Sophia's family home.
Her BFF then admits she was "scared" by her new look, and approaches with caution.
As of this writing, the video has amassed over 3.6 million views.
In a follow-up video, Sofia explains how her face ended up looking square, telling her followers:
"Lots of people have been asking why I made my face look like a rectangle. I didn't purposefully make my face look like a rectangle.
"I got a treatment done called Kybella which removes fat from the lower part of your face. People tend to get it for your double chin but I got it in my jowls area.
"Mine was really fatty covering up my jaw so I just wanted to remove that fat - just a little bit - just to make it look a little better. That's all.
"It's still really swollen and really numb, I can't feel that."
Per The Sun, Kybella is an FDA-approved treatment and, according to Healthline, some common side effects include pain, swelling, bruising, redness, and numbness.
