Past Life Complaints
17 years ago, Aia made the decision to undergo calf implant surgery after a profound experience of “past life immersion.” Being quite preoccupied with the appearance of her legs, Aia believed that her dissatisfaction stemmed from a “subconscious memory” of her past life as a German soldier. According to her, she had encountered an explosion near her legs on the battlefield.
However, the outcome of her calf implants led to a host of present-day problems. Aia lamented, stating, “All I wanted was larger calves, and now I have disfigured, purplish legs that seem like they belong to someone else.” To alleviate her discomfort, she resorted to taping her legs to compress them. Additionally, she disclosed experiencing a burning sensation in her right leg. Dr. Dubrow identified that Aia’s implant had become “twisted” and was causing damage to her nerves. Consequently, both implants were removed, allowing Aia to regain her natural leg appearance once more.
A “Giant” Chin

However, Yazmin continued to feel self-conscious about the appearance of the lower half of her face for many years.
To address her concerns, Dr. Nassif performed a procedure to tighten the skin around her chin, resulting in smoother contours.

After her nose job, Christy jokingly remarked, “This probably won’t be the last time a White Claw gets me in trouble,” but she expressed her satisfaction, saying, “I finally see what I feel like should have been on my face my entire life.” Consider her surgery a resounding success!
