A slave to the scalpel

There are many things a person can become addicted to like nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, gambling, etc. It turns out that people can even be addicted to plastic surgery. A woman named Jenny from the age of 25 to 28 received 26 surgeries. She said she was a slave to the scalpel. And if you think smoking is an expensive habbit you should think again. She spent about $80,000 on her surgeries. After all of this she still feels theres many other things she would like to get done. She takes poor self esteem to a whole other level. She received her first surgeries because of comments that her ex-husband passed about her.
In other stories I read about the extents these women will take to have money for these surgeries. It ranged from a woman stealing, one woman starring in a gang-bangs, and even a woman putting her family in debt to the point where her husband had to threaten her with divorce. These women are willing to risk their lives and spend thousands of dollars just for the idea of perfection.
