How far would you go for your looks?

These guests went all the way to the black market -- and are still paying the price. Meet a guest whose impatience for breast implants ended in dire results. Also, a woman who wanted to permanently change her eye color -- and may now face vision problems for the rest of her life. Several other guests share their stories of pain, embarrassment, job loss and more -- all in the name of beauty.


NEXT: They Want That to Go Where... ?!

I have had my share of plastic surgery (3 of them at 40 years old - I don't want to look old), but by an excellent, qualified doctor. It can be scary and recovery can be painful. What makes me comfortable is the after care that is provided, qualified surgery center workers and clean surgery center. I couldn't imagine getting done what I had done in a back alley dirty room. Would you deliver your kids there?

i did not get to see that show but when i saw the picture's all i could think is that those people are really sick. and know they are sick no joke. as one comment said god make you the way you are for a reason don't ever change your look are body.i always have this fear to forget about me too busy trying to impress other's and being what they want me to be. so it is always important to remember who you are.

I feel so horrible for these women who have gone through these awful plastic surgery experiences. But I would NEVER get plastic surgery unless I got into an accident that altered my looks. I feel like God made us the way we were meant to be, so why alter his design?

I saw this episode and was like wow espeically the girl with the butt injects. I did really feel bad for them because I'm 16 and i know better these are grown desperate women who are incapable of accepting what God has blessed them with on the outside. Incapable of just looking in the mirror and saying this is me and I don't care what no one says I'm going to be happy.

IDEA FOR A SHOW! Do a show on people who escaped from dangerous situations! After watching this show and listening to how people wanted to leave and stop a surgery so badly but couldn't, I said to myself, "How about the people that did?"

I think we need more love in this world. Tyra isn't narcissistic, she just tries to be honest. I didn't agree with what she said about the prostitute, not because of pity, but out of respect. If you have kids, you'll do anything for them, she could have found a differnt way, but when we insult people, it doesn't help them, it hurts them.There's always a way to help someone without hurting them. You should all look at yourselves and stop judging. No matter what religion you are, we're in this together.

all i can say wow. i have never really though of getting plastic surgery. but at the end of ur show when u asked if anyone would consider permanently changing their eye color if the procesure if was legal. And i have to say i would do it. i never have thought of myself being pretty. ive used contacts for about 6yrs now and i always get colored contacts.ive had gray, blue,green, and purple. for some reason when i have my colored contacts i feel better about myself. when i just have my regular brown eyes i dont like what i see in the mirror. i know it would be very risky but its something i would try.
