Dude. I thought I had dreamt this show. I had to look it up to make sure it was real. I still can’t believe they just changed people’s entire face and body and just sent them back to their family like it’s nothing. So weird lol
most of the women on this show were like rlly depressed. they didnt need to change their whole being. they just needed to be empowered and tokd that theyre beautiful. the youtuber bionic pig made a great video on this reality show where he talked about just that - i think youd like it😊
Imagine being this womans young daughter. Like, I never looked at my mother as a child and considered *how* she looked, her features, if she was pretty or not, she was just my mother, she was warm and I loved her. Imagine the impact it would have on you if she just came home after 4 months away completely different, "fixed".
I would be so sad that my mom didn’t look like my mom anymore. And with what you said I never noticed if my mom was pretty or not as a child or now. Just that she’s my mom and my comfort.
She is an individual who should get to decide what she wants to do with her appearance. Kids freak out when their dads shave their mustaches lol. Once the kids realize it’s still their mom, they will be fine. It might even be fun that mom has a new look.
@@sierraparker225 How superficial and selfish is that to say ud be sad if your mom changed her look. It's her body, not yours. How about just be happy that she had the opportunity to boost her confidence? On the other side: would you feel the same if she had an accident or a skin condition that changed her? Or does a new hairstyle make you sad aswell? Where do we draw the line between 'acceptable' change and 'its making me sad' change? Come on ppl
I watched every episode as a kid and I remember the controversy back then and looking at the comments and remembering the controversy... y'all never gave people these compliments before the surgery.
I really do think she looked pretty before. She could've gotten a regular makeover to feel better about herself instead of plastic surgery. At least she's happy though. Here's a video that touches more on the subject if you're interested. th-cam.com/video/vPOcM4bzsiU/w-d-xo.html
Sadly true.. Physically attractive people are naturally treated better almost everywhere. Most people base their 1st impressions about a person based on how they look and that 1st impression carries a long way. Beauty on the inside is cool and all but it helps a person move forward in life if you're beautiful on the outside. Outward beauty also gives a person the confidence to overcome other important issues. For a female, it is probably the single most important thing that she is judged on at first and a below average looking female is deemed uncool and pathetic. No wonder people like the Kardashian-Jenners and other celebrities spend millions on surgery, botox, fillers, make-up, etc. I do not advocate surgery at all, unless it's for medical purposes, but having women constantly pitted against each other based on their looks is what leads to body dysmorphism. Especially now with instagram, tinder and reality tv, photoshopping and filters, women with a low self- esteem feel even lower.
@@Rika-ir2wq Unfortunately many of those people who may have watched the show or comment around these episodes, for some reason keep supporting the idea about improving self-love or confidence... when in reality, male and FEMALES like and give preference to certain physical features like male height, light eye colors, bigger brea$ts, bigger hips, good face proportions, good hair style, body fully shaved and more.... The fact these people actually suggest to only improve self-esteem is rather naive to an extent, because promotes the idea that magically if you're confident then everyone will want to take you a sex-symbol which in reality doesn't happen like instagram models which, for example are big brea$ted and only because that reason they're millionarie and have endless amount of dudes who like them by just standing. Men suffer from the same sort of stuff about body dysmorphism but not featured by almost any person of audio visual media but pretty much based off genetic traits are much less likely to change or even get improved through surgery, like height / p3nis size / facial structure / women don't get more aurosed with male makeup in face / shoulders width / how deep voice tone is and more.
@@notactivenotactive5158 you just said it "for years", how do you think that i'm 31 and still no one ever said anything cool about my body ? Just get the money and get through surgery as any other girl can. Get better brea$ts, smaller nose, bigger butt with fat transfer or silicone brea$ts (they're incredibly realistic nowadays). How would you feel as a man if you were short height or small p3nis and you would know there's nothing you can do to improve it ?
A friend of mine worked on the show in security. He said every and anything that could possibly give a reflection was removed. He said this went so far as to effect the camera lighting to the point he found the camera crews pissy all the time.
How does she know the surgery made her dreams come true if she hasn't even looked in a mirror yet?? A lot of these women feel great about themselves in the short term after surgery, but as time goes on the insecurities resurface because they did not deal with the internal issues, the soul issues, that were causing the unhappiness in the first place. Surgery cant fix that.
@@tessiemiller1212 former contestants have spoken out about all the therapy sessions being filmed and pretty much bogus. They were also provided with a "life coach," aka the Exec Producer of the show. The participating surgeons were the ones who decided which applicants would actually become contestants based entirely around which people they thought would have the most dramatic change for the cameras. Contestants were prevented from having any contact with the outside world aside from a weekly 10 minute *monitored* phone call with their families, and they were forcefully pushed into multiple surgeries they never even wanted due to the horrific contracts they all signed. All the contestants were friendly with each other and thought they were involved in a show about real self-improvement -- they did not know it was going to be cut to make it appear that they were shallow, catty a-holes, and they had no idea the season was supposed to culminate in a beauty pageant where they'd all be pitted against each other after all being so open and vulnerable about having physical insecurities. They went home after undergoing this traumatic process to find that friends, neighbors, community members, etc now thought they were disgusting self-obsessed monsters after seeing them on the show. Literally nothing about this show was ok. All this woman needed was dental surgery and a good therapist who was *actually* invested in helping her.
the result is very good, but they changed the overall type of the face. they not only renewed her teeth, they also did a complete nosejob, a complete chin implant, a jaw implant, a cheek implant.. a minor facelift in between.. it is like totally changing the human not improving the existing.
Hi my name is Ayden, I’m Amy Williams (now (Lacey) kid. I’m now 15 and at the age that a lot of kids question their bodys, faces, and everything, but my mom is one of the sweetest people on the world. She constantly tells me how beautiful I am and how much she loved herself even before The Swan. But all in all (if you care) I just wanted to say she’s doing very well. She married my dad about 4 years after this episode aired and had me about a few months after that. She teaches improv at a school and is now an award winning actress. She’s done real well after The Swan. Thank you all for reading this, I’m not one to comment on TH-cam so lol. Thanks. Love ur self❤
i’m a former student of Amy’s and she has such a kind heart!! Ayden and I went to school together for a few years and I have confided in Amy about plenty of my life’s ups and downs. she’s a wonderful person and very easy to talk to :)
Maryanne Dzvonik I agree. There's nothing wrong with cosmetic surgery imo, just wish people wouldn't go crazy and end up looking bizarre. Her makeover is nice :)
Unpopular opinion: this show isn‘t that bad. This girl got her dream looks and honestly, pretty privilege exists and it can boost your life in an amazing way.
I know. I really don’t understand the bad comments. She’s happy and confident and that’s all that should matter??? Love her, glad she’s happy. Everyone hating is miserable
@E That's pretty based. Many of these people try to avoid the fact most of people are shallow and don't care about genetic and physical looking but it's the main reason those women got inside at the first place. Thinking it's only about self esteem or confidence is just going straight to the opposite side of the problem, but rather naive as well.
No, you don't. You don't need to think you are stunning, you need to see yourself neutrally. Look after your body, your teeth, your hair and skin so they are healthy and practice seeing your body as a vessel for all of your great ideas, thoughts and intellect. Your arms give great hugs. Your nose let's you smell coffee and flowers. Your legs carry you. Your stomach holds your organs and let's you enjoy good food. Your skin is a complicated organ that keeps you warm, cool, hydrated and safe. You don't need to change how you look. It will not make you happy. Your actions will.
@@lightsinthesky4989no some people are ugly, some want to look different. Nothing wrong with it. Quit shaming women for wanting plastic surgery; nobody shames them for getting their hair, nails, or makeup done.
They woulnd't feelt insecure and ugly in the first place when society would have different standards. On top surgeries like this are not harmless and have a huge healt risk. To push it like this is wrong on so many leve and makes it overall worse for society and not better.
@@kidaria1333 nah, they were really ugly now they are somewhat beatiful. Being good looking is extremely important. Society standards are there for a reason, we are attracted to good looking people almost all times
@@erdinc2590 Have you read my comment at all? They were ugly styled on purpose. There could have been a middle ground of a make-over without exrtem dangerous surgery. There is no justification for potential health damage for irrational beauty standards, which change over time and through whole human history with stupid dangerous extremes. I do not deny the fact that being really uglier then the average standard is a burden. But what is going for 30 years in the west and now even asia is ridiculous nonesense. After the war a man was attractive when he had limbs and no scars.
@@singingamy Amy, I have to ask you. Did you already see yourself in the mirror before the "reveal"? TV is mostly fake, so I cannot imagine you would not have seen yourself in such a long time.
I loved this show so much. Now I watch it and can only say (aside from dental health) YOU’RE PERFECT THE WAY YOU ARE HONEY!! DONT LOWER YOURSELF TO FIT THEIR MOLD! I hope she’s doing well.
@@camihl3841 hahahah and all the other things in our everyday culture which we don't cut-out don't? Look at every artists in the past 20 years in the top 10... But we all love them!!
nose is not bad but they should have kept the previous shape and just imrove it rather than changing all so she looks like someone else anyway she look good so if she is happy
I don’t care what other say I’m so so happy this show existed and was able to restore her confidence and physical and mental health. She was beautiful on the inside and her looks match her beautiful personality. ❤
I thought this was one of the better transformations - she looked amazing and still looked like herself! A lot of the contestants looked like a totally different person afterwards which is kind of sad really.
I think she was already a beautiful girl.Of course nobody looks there best shown crying and sad.I wear my hair like Amy everyday instantly look better when its down.Ive had 4 boys and my belly isnt the way i want it so I'll exercise.I think everybody would love to get a complete overhaul at times it made her happy.Ive started to just love the skin im in after 46 years.
I wish that dental care was provided and required in the US. So many kids turn into young adults with severe dental problems because their parents couldn't afford dental care. And even if they could, dental plans don't cover much. I had to take out a healthcare loan once for part of my root canal and then had to wait a year to get the final crown because I couldn't afford it. So dang sad. I'm glad they helped her with her teeth so she won't have to be in pain
I wish this show still existed I would so enter every single chance I got I would die to be on a show like this and change my whole life and actually see myself as beautiful
To all the people saying that this show is awful or vile: Every single other reality show is the exact same premise. The mistake this show made was being too on the nose
So you all wanted to go and be treated like a piece of shit by their people and have to compete with other women in the end, something that would just make your insecurity go even higher? Are you masochistic?
Ok but honestly if all these people stayed looking the same they would be treated way differently the rest of their lives and it's true that some features are just naturally seen as ugly.
@James Browne aww thats so so sweet your cute too. Im 32 and 5 nothing...XD no im 5'4 really but which is nothing in my family.. runt of the litter teehee
The only portion of this show I can agree with is the dental portion. Not just for looks but I know no one feels good with bad teeth. It’s painful to have such decay and it makes you self conscious to smile.
I want to get plastic surgery too! I just don't feel like a beautiful girl. I've decided I want to for several months now. It will be a shock for my parents to see how different I look and some of my friends might be shocked at what a drastic measure I took - like plastic surgery for your entire face isn't something just easy. But I've decided I want it and it gives me hope and I look forward to it. How can you be against it when you can see how much freedom and self confidence she has now? She is finally feeling beautiful adn good enough. It's really her business how she spends her money at the end of the day (well she got the srugery for free here, but it's her choice what decisions she makes in life). If someone told you that with a magic wand you could change something about the way you look would you not?
You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. When he finished his masterpiece "YOU" he was proud of his art. There is nothing wrong with you and it's only your mind telling you there is. Plus the real you is your spirit are you a beautiful person or a horrible person? That defines you. xx
You're right that it absolutely is your decision. It's a year later, I wonder if you followed through with your commitment and how are you feeling about it now? If someone told me that with a magic wand I could change something about the way I look, of course I would. Magic wands are neither dangerous nor permanent. I do change the way I look with clothes, hair color, and sometimes Halloween face paint. Big fan of henna tattoos, though I would probably never get an actual tattoo because I like the option to switch it up or go back to a natural look. But that's just my preference. People die in surgery, and I just always have to have a heavy respect for that. I like my life more than I hate my nose lol.
but you have to give respect to those surgeons. nowadays everybody gets the same "instagram nose", they really look for what's best for her and her face 👍🏼
This is what happens when we keep giving priority to materialistic things, we keep comparing our happiness on the basis of it, carving for more and more because there is always someone who has more than what we have leading to never ending satisfaction.
I miss this show AND the OG- Extreme Makeover!! I used to watch every episode when I was younger BUT too many close minded,right fighting,overly sensitive traditionalists ruined that. Times have changed and we all have to accept that. Everyone gets work done now. Everyone. Whether it's simple dental procedures or a surgery of some kind,it's there for whomever needs the service.. If it truly makes you happy,do you Boo! Whether anyone wants to admit it,these shows dramatically changed lives and probably even saved lives too. This world is superficial and when someone don't fit the mold,in some aspects, their lives aren't as easy as someone who is born beautiful. Truth. And when you are content with what's looking back at you in the mirror,it makes it easier to transform what's on the inside that no-one sees but yourself. And I admit,the inside is most important but the outside appearance is what can marry the two. Bring these shows back!!
Genuine Ginger nah. This ain't cool. Not loving who you naturally are shouldn't be normalized. I see way too many 20-year-old girls these days who look 40 because they've obviously got work done trying to look like Instagram models.
I certainly would go through this torment if given the chance. They went through a process they would have never had the money or discipline to complete thanks to this show…plus they volunteered.
you need to love youself if you do makeovers you will think that you will love yourself after it, but that's not always the case. Eventho you might like it at the moment, when you will get older it will get back at you. Because what you actually needed to do was learn to love yourself and accept yourself for who you are. And as you get older you will automatically get busier and focus more on the actual important things of life. Also everyone gets less pretty with age and if you never accepted yourself before you will have a really hard time accepting that you are getting older and "uglier". Because at a certain point you won't have the energy, money and possibilities to keep up with it. An other point is once you start changing your body you will most likely end up doing a lot of more things, because it changed the balance of your body and that will lead to a high chance of eventually becoming botched. Also if you really are unhappy with yourself try to do things like eating healthy and do sports because trust me it's more a mental thing. And with sports and healthy eating you will happier and focus less on your looks. Also get a job so you can stay busy so you are less ocupied with your insecurities. And with a job you will meet new people and learn a lot of new perspectives of life and also get out of your comfortzone more (will build confidence). Lastly try subtle things like changing your style (try different fun things) or dress for your body and maybe do makeup to enhance your futures not completely change it. When I was a teenager and in my early 20s there were so much that I wanted to change about myself, but now I am so happy that I didn't do it and now I love myself for who I am completely 100%. Btw this is not to be mean or attack you. It's just advice I wish someone gave me when I was younger. And also it is so normalized this day and age to just do plastic surgery and makeup ect when you are super young. Eventho that is bad or not needed❤
She likely could have just had a makeover without plastic surgery to achieve the same result. The before she had no makeup or styling of her hair, blah clothes. She also did not need a tummy tuck, at 27. The only thing maybe was her teeth needed fixing.
The things is these women are already beautiful. They just lack confidence and skills. Show them a decent skin regime and the proper way to apply makeup to enhance their features give them some counselling and advice on dressing for their shape etc and they all can be stunning. They don’t need surgery they just need guidance, support, some work on their self worth and self esteem and then they are good x
Wow i cant believe this show existed ! No wonder so many women have body image issues . Im happy shes happy (i wish beauty was seen more in natural form ... wish they would fix my teeth lol)
Women have body image issues because nature tells women to put other women down since our main assent and goal is to attract mates with our physical appearance. That's why the beauty industry is the biggest industry on the planet. That is the harsh reality. Those women used to have body image issues because they were ugly and the show helped them out.
@@phangirlable You're generalizing too much. Shallow, shallow, shallow. Sometimes you have to look at things on a case by case basis not just stick everyone in a group.
I remember being a kid and watching this and would cry happy that these girls are no longer ugly 😂 now that I’m a grown 33 year old I’m like “this shit is SO PROBLEMATIC”😂😂😂
You guys shaming plastic surgery will never understand the pain we have one through. The comments that people made about us and how we kept that all to ourselves for years. I don’t regret my decision, and I am the happiest I’ve ever been.
I’m so grateful for this show. Now I know I’m worthless because I’m ugly. Now I spend every day suicidal but at least I’m saving up for drastic plastic surgery.

You don't need to change how you look. It will not make you happy. Your actions will.
Same like sign me tf up 😂
This show is so impossible now the beauty standards have changed so much
To push unrealistic beauty standards even more and promote potential unhealty not essential surgeries as harmless?
@@lightsinthesky4989no some people are ugly, some want to look different. Nothing wrong with it. Quit shaming women for wanting plastic surgery; nobody shames them for getting their hair, nails, or makeup done.
If this show makes the contestants feel better, then I’m happy for them.
They woulnd't feelt insecure and ugly in the first place when society would have different standards. On top surgeries like this are not harmless and have a huge healt risk. To push it like this is wrong on so many leve and makes it overall worse for society and not better.
@@kidaria1333 nah, they were really ugly now they are somewhat beatiful. Being good looking is extremely important. Society standards are there for a reason, we are attracted to good looking people almost all times
@@erdinc2590 Have you read my comment at all? They were ugly styled on purpose. There could have been a middle ground of a make-over without exrtem dangerous surgery. There is no justification for potential health damage for irrational beauty standards, which change over time and through whole human history with stupid dangerous extremes. I do not deny the fact that being really uglier then the average standard is a burden. But what is going for 30 years in the west and now even asia is ridiculous nonesense. After the war a man was attractive when he had limbs and no scars.
They don't they play on peoples insecurities
She was not ugly before.
yes she was
Lolz
Wow... every woman's dream... being called "not ugly"
Disagree, she was pretty before. Just needed a self esteem boost and a better hairdo.
@@1234watchvids No, she wasn't.
can we bring this show back so i can be a guest
look at her she cant stop smiling its infectious
18 years later and I'm still smiling!
@@singingamy Good!!!!! You deserve it!!
@@singingamy Amy, I have to ask you. Did you already see yourself in the mirror before the "reveal"? TV is mostly fake, so I cannot imagine you would not have seen yourself in such a long time.
@@gw244what a weird question.
@@LOVEBABY138How's it weird, babe?
This has strong cult vibes. Vile asf
Lmao when they were all clapping I was so creeped out
😭😭😭😭
Join us Homer
I loved this show so much. Now I watch it and can only say (aside from dental health) YOU’RE PERFECT THE WAY YOU ARE HONEY!! DONT LOWER YOURSELF TO FIT THEIR MOLD! I hope she’s doing well.
A perfect Far Left SJW answer. Your pathetic.
They always make their noses long and pointy
The noses continue to shrink over the course of a year. This was only at three months post surgery.
I’m not ugly...I’m just poor thanks for the reminder😂
I think their confidence makes them more beautiful!
I loved this show as a kid
I know me too! But it's quite f'd up that we could actually watch it as kids..
Me too 😂
@@mikaelabighillsmith1395 It is very fucked up. It's actually pretty dangerous, it could induce you to have serious body image issues.
@@camihl3841 hahahah and all the other things in our everyday culture which we don't cut-out don't? Look at every artists in the past 20 years in the top 10... But we all love them!!
I LOVED this superficial show and wish it would come back. I love seeing makeovers.
nose is not bad but they should have kept the previous shape and just imrove it rather than changing all so she looks like someone else anyway she look good so if she is happy
They looked like sisters after the makeover.
I’m sorry but she looks....soooo freaking good. Like I’m not even gonna lie I need that
@James Browneabsolutely.
I don’t care what other say I’m so so happy this show existed and was able to restore her confidence and physical and mental health. She was beautiful on the inside and her looks match her beautiful personality. ❤
Beauty is in the puppetry.
Body Language + Grooming > Surgery
I thought this was one of the better transformations - she looked amazing and still looked like herself! A lot of the contestants looked like a totally different person afterwards which is kind of sad really.
WOW. Amazing transformation.
I think she was already a beautiful girl.Of course nobody looks there best shown crying and sad.I wear my hair like Amy everyday instantly look better when its down.Ive had 4 boys and my belly isnt the way i want it so I'll exercise.I think everybody would love to get a complete overhaul at times it made her happy.Ive started to just love the skin im in after 46 years.
Karen Beaver exactly
Ne, she was not. Your face looks perfectly fine, hers didn't.
I wish that dental care was provided and required in the US. So many kids turn into young adults with severe dental problems because their parents couldn't afford dental care. And even if they could, dental plans don't cover much. I had to take out a healthcare loan once for part of my root canal and then had to wait a year to get the final crown because I couldn't afford it. So dang sad. I'm glad they helped her with her teeth so she won't have to be in pain
WOW! What a stunning transformation!! Good for her!!!
This transformation is amazing, she looks like a complete different person...in a good way.
Thats not a good thing. What she actually needed was therapy and maybe a regular makeover at the most. Her issues were on the inside, not the outside.
@@bradleyblake7588 True. The comment sectionh ere is shocking.
she went from looking 45 to looking actually 27
"What phrases do you think automatically indicate pure evil?"
"I'm an executive producer for 'the swan.'"
-Ozzy and Millie
Wow that's accurate
27 ?? wtf she looks 40
That's why she's had a makeover :)
@Manel Icecream | seriously stfu. she looks totally like 27
@@esclad I'm so jealous 😭
@NillyC 27 should look like 27 not a teenager..wtf
The dental work was neccessary, but other than that, she was beautiful already. This show is pure horror!
And even then, not that extent. They sanded down her okay teeth completely. It's insane.
Implants are considered cosmetic
If she didn't come to the show she'd be toothless
I wish this show still existed I would so enter every single chance I got I would die to be on a show like this and change my whole life and actually see myself as beautiful
I wish this could still happen I'd be lining up to get in
To all the people saying that this show is awful or vile: Every single other reality show is the exact same premise. The mistake this show made was being too on the nose
I always wanted to be on this show
Me too
Me too
I wish they'd bring it back, but they won't because people would have a fit over it
So you all wanted to go and be treated like a piece of shit by their people and have to compete with other women in the end, something that would just make your insecurity go even higher? Are you masochistic?
I need a makeover too😭😭😭😭
Good for her. It’s not about us and what we think is right. She needed this for her own growth because she wanted this.
This can't be real. Lord have mercy.
What a horrible show with a horrible message. I’m glad they took it off the air.
Foot i agree with u
I agree it was horrible... and cruel...
I said the same thing. Like how mean is that?! Horrible message.
Ok but honestly if all these people stayed looking the same they would be treated way differently the rest of their lives and it's true that some features are just naturally seen as ugly.
@@ks5865 No need to fucking say that in their faces in the way they did though.
I like how they still kept her natural shape and still appeased what she wanted.
This was my favorite show as a kid
Amanda is beautiful too and she’s natural she’s been on television in the uk for years and she’s not changed other than becoming more refined with age
This show is everything wrong with modern society.
Glad it's gone.
I feel happy for her .
Wow!! Thank God 🙏🏽 for plastic surgery. I’m in recovery now too and watching this makes me so emotional 💖 she looks incredible now 🏆
I totally forgot about this programme... i LOVED this...
@James Browne maybe, sure why not??
@James Browne emmm......no thanks im good......ill stick to lipstick and sunscreen
@James Browne Aww thank you so much James Brown. Well that pic is about 3/4 years old now. But i wanna stay away from t he knife if i can help it.....
@James Browne and you are very cute too btw 👌👌👌😊😊😊
@James Browne aww thats so so sweet your cute too. Im 32 and 5 nothing...XD no im 5'4 really but which is nothing in my family.. runt of the litter teehee
Bring this show back so I can get me some free upgrades 🤣🤣🤣
The only portion of this show I can agree with is the dental portion. Not just for looks but I know no one feels good with bad teeth. It’s painful to have such decay and it makes you self conscious to smile.
Daaaaaaannnggg she looks amazing
I want to get plastic surgery too! I just don't feel like a beautiful girl.
I've decided I want to for several months now. It will be a shock for my parents to see how different I look and some of my friends might be shocked at what a drastic measure I took - like plastic surgery for your entire face isn't something just easy. But I've decided I want it and it gives me hope and I look forward to it.
How can you be against it when you can see how much freedom and self confidence she has now? She is finally feeling beautiful adn good enough. It's really her business how she spends her money at the end of the day (well she got the srugery for free here, but it's her choice what decisions she makes in life).
If someone told you that with a magic wand you could change something about the way you look would you not?
You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. When he finished his masterpiece "YOU" he was proud of his art. There is nothing wrong with you and it's only your mind telling you there is. Plus the real you is your spirit are you a beautiful person or a horrible person? That defines you. xx
+Pandora Meaning?
+Pandora you seem offended by the truth. I'm always doing me trust me honey. lol
Do what makes you happy. Remember you cannot please everyone....
You're right that it absolutely is your decision. It's a year later, I wonder if you followed through with your commitment and how are you feeling about it now?
If someone told me that with a magic wand I could change something about the way I look, of course I would. Magic wands are neither dangerous nor permanent.
I do change the way I look with clothes, hair color, and sometimes Halloween face paint. Big fan of henna tattoos, though I would probably never get an actual tattoo because I like the option to switch it up or go back to a natural look. But that's just my preference.
People die in surgery, and I just always have to have a heavy respect for that. I like my life more than I hate my nose lol.
This is an amazing show !! It change lives
Ruined a lot… look up the aftermath… many of them are suffering with complications and suffering from poor aftercare
but you have to give respect to those surgeons. nowadays everybody gets the same "instagram nose", they really look for what's best for her and her face 👍🏼
The “thank you Jesus” not the surgeon made me weak 😩
That gown looks fantastic!
I don't know whether to be happy or sad for her!!!
This is what happens when we keep giving priority to materialistic things, we keep comparing our happiness on the basis of it, carving for more and more because there is always someone who has more than what we have leading to never ending satisfaction.
Imagine if they rebooted the show with a season for the ladies and one for the men.
Does anyone know the background music credits for the show?
I can understand why this show got a lot of backlash, but best believe, if it came out today, I'm signing up for all that free work
I’m happy for her.
I loved this series always wondered where it went to
I miss this show AND the OG- Extreme Makeover!! I used to watch every episode when I was younger BUT too many close minded,right fighting,overly sensitive traditionalists ruined that. Times have changed and we all have to accept that. Everyone gets work done now. Everyone. Whether it's simple dental procedures or a surgery of some kind,it's there for whomever needs the service.. If it truly makes you happy,do you Boo! Whether anyone wants to admit it,these shows dramatically changed lives and probably even saved lives too. This world is superficial and when someone don't fit the mold,in some aspects, their lives aren't as easy as someone who is born beautiful. Truth. And when you are content with what's looking back at you in the mirror,it makes it easier to transform what's on the inside that no-one sees but yourself. And I admit,the inside is most important but the outside appearance is what can marry the two. Bring these shows back!!
Genuine Ginger nah. This ain't cool. Not loving who you naturally are shouldn't be normalized. I see way too many 20-year-old girls these days who look 40 because they've obviously got work done trying to look like Instagram models.
@@TIENxSHINHAN i don't agree with you seen a lot of participants who really needed what they did. This one is not part of the list.
Thankyou jesus? What did Jesus do?
I think she is thanking Jesus because it all turned out ok, no disasters.
No she should thank the doctors instead!!
Chaide Elwood nothing
Calm down bitch 😂
Exactly that was a bad move
I miss this show
They signed up for this so i don’t feel bad . They got what they wanted . Happy for them
unless there's health problem i think the rest is sort of shallow and superficial. love yourself because you're all beautiful naturally.
I certainly would go through this torment if given the chance. They went through a process they would have never had the money or discipline to complete thanks to this show…plus they volunteered.
you need to love youself if you do makeovers you will think that you will love yourself after it, but that's not always the case. Eventho you might like it at the moment, when you will get older it will get back at you. Because what you actually needed to do was learn to love yourself and accept yourself for who you are. And as you get older you will automatically get busier and focus more on the actual important things of life. Also everyone gets less pretty with age and if you never accepted yourself before you will have a really hard time accepting that you are getting older and "uglier". Because at a certain point you won't have the energy, money and possibilities to keep up with it. An other point is once you start changing your body you will most likely end up doing a lot of more things, because it changed the balance of your body and that will lead to a high chance of eventually becoming botched. Also if you really are unhappy with yourself try to do things like eating healthy and do sports because trust me it's more a mental thing. And with sports and healthy eating you will happier and focus less on your looks. Also get a job so you can stay busy so you are less ocupied with your insecurities. And with a job you will meet new people and learn a lot of new perspectives of life and also get out of your comfortzone more (will build confidence). Lastly try subtle things like changing your style (try different fun things) or dress for your body and maybe do makeup to enhance your futures not completely change it.
When I was a teenager and in my early 20s there were so much that I wanted to change about myself, but now I am so happy that I didn't do it and now I love myself for who I am completely 100%.
Btw this is not to be mean or attack you. It's just advice I wish someone gave me when I was younger. And also it is so normalized this day and age to just do plastic surgery and makeup ect when you are super young. Eventho that is bad or not needed❤
She likely could have just had a makeover without plastic surgery to achieve the same result. The before she had no makeup or styling of her hair, blah clothes. She also did not need a tummy tuck, at 27. The only thing maybe was her teeth needed fixing.
The things is these women are already beautiful. They just lack confidence and skills. Show them a decent skin regime and the proper way to apply makeup to enhance their features give them some counselling and advice on dressing for their shape etc and they all can be stunning. They don’t need surgery they just need guidance, support, some work on their self worth and self esteem and then they are good x
@James Browne nah I wouldn’t put myself through it lol
She is unrecognizable
Wow i cant believe this show existed ! No wonder so many women have body image issues . Im happy shes happy (i wish beauty was seen more in natural form ... wish they would fix my teeth lol)
I used to LOVE this show when I was little girl. I have so many self esteem issues today!
@@notcosmiclobsternoooo118 ♥️😥 your a cosmic lobster baby ! ... A song comes to mind shiny .. Moana 🥰
@@mammadingo9165 thank you! 😂
Women have body image issues because nature tells women to put other women down since our main assent and goal is to attract mates with our physical appearance. That's why the beauty industry is the biggest industry on the planet. That is the harsh reality. Those women used to have body image issues because they were ugly and the show helped them out.
@@phangirlable You're generalizing too much. Shallow, shallow, shallow. Sometimes you have to look at things on a case by case basis not just stick everyone in a group.
Damn her kids are gonna be mad confused if they grow up looking like her original form
underrated af
My kids are beautiful, they got the good genes. Lol!!
I used to love this show 😍
I felt that "Thank you Jesus" lol
This meets the definition of the word, "transformation". WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW!
I loved this show.
I remember being a kid and watching this and would cry happy that these girls are no longer ugly 😂 now that I’m a grown 33 year old I’m like “this shit is SO PROBLEMATIC”😂😂😂
Her reaction made me tear up omg
You guys shaming plastic surgery will never understand the pain we have one through. The comments that people made about us and how we kept that all to ourselves for years. I don’t regret my decision, and I am the happiest I’ve ever been.
I’ve come here after listening to an audible about how these reality shows & what actually goes on behind the scenes. It’s actually shocking.
I used to watch that show when I was younger. I didn't realise back then how deeply problematic it is. This is unacceptable.
Just goes to show, if you have enough money you can be beautiful, too.
Ok so this was the past but feels like a black mirror ep
She always was beautiful
I’m so grateful for this show. Now I know I’m worthless because I’m ugly. Now I spend every day suicidal but at least I’m saving up for drastic plastic surgery.
Is this show still running? I want to join
