What would make someone hate their body so much that they would put themselves at such risk????

Simmering Seductress
Sure you're smokin', but you don't blow it in everyone's face. "You are confident and incredibly sensual, and you know that feeling sexy isn't about putting on a show," says sex therapist Ava Cadell, Ph.D., author of Dr. Ava Cadell's Stock Market Orgasm. "You can also revel in erotic experiences when you're by yourself rather than waiting for a man to coax your sexuality out of you eventually."


Whether it's enjoying the feeling of stretching your body during a yoga class or walking around unclothed after your shower, you use those little opportunities as an excuse to feel more incredible. "Although no one gets a peek at these private moments, you wind up projecting an authentic sexiness that tells everyone you meet that you're completely comfortable in your skin," says Mary Valentis, Ph.D., coauthor of Romantic Intelligence. "Another by-product of your sexual confidence is that you wind up making men feel more open and at ease with you in bed."

Sorry, that's what it is, a stupid person doing a stupid action. Most people have the ability to weigh risk versus reward, these people are obviously lacking the ability.

I assume you were referring to the test. I took it....these were my results....scars, mommy tummy and 43 year old bewbage and all. Feeling good about yourself comes from inside. I thought it was kind of ironic that the test was in a magazine that revolves around outer beauty and is full of size 2 models.

Love yourself people!

The body shop or bath and body works had an awesome poster several years back (late 90s) that said something to the effect of 200 million people have a body that looks like yours, and only 6 dont... Love Your Body.
I lost it in one of my moves and wonder if any of you know of this poster and where one would find it again.

Actually it is not so incredibly outlandish that someone from a foreign country would trust someone from her own country to perfom a procedure he usually perfoms/has safely done in his country.   It's a horrible situation because the brazillian doctor should never have been taking those risks at home and breaking the law to such a degree.     Unfortunately the doctor was feeding his greed for money, and the girl was feeking her need for a perfect body...  Unfortunately whenever anyone goes under the knife for any reason, there is always the potential for death resulting...  So it is for each of us to decide if anything unnecessary is worth the risk, and unfortunately we can't ask her anymore.    M

Lol, i too had a very positive body image, yes i'd love to be rid of the mommy tummy, the inner thigh and back of arm jiggles but not enough to let somebody cut me open. All in all i have learned like you to be comfortable in my skin. Sure i look at some people my age and go WOW i wish i looked that good but i look at many more and go ok i am not that bad.

Plus as you know Scooter wears those hourglass goggles and sees me as fine, you have to love his goggles, lol.
