The woman liked retouched selfies so much that she became obsessed with plastic surgery

To look more like her own retouched selfies, Lucy O'Grady had botox injections, injected fillers into her lips and chin, whitened her teeth and had a nose job.

A woman came to the show This Morning and told about her long struggle with dysmorphia — rejection of her own appearance. Lucy often took selfies and retouched them in various photo editors.

When Lucy was fighting for self-love, her self-confidence was struck by an unknown man. She met him on the Internet, and when they met, the man noticed that Lucy looked different in real life.

Since then, Lucy has plunged into the world of plastic surgery. She became addicted to surgeries and did them twice a year. She spent almost $300 each on botox injections to smooth out wrinkles. And in November 2016, she spent almost $ 3,000 on rhinoplasty.

Fortunately, this was enough to interrupt the cycle of plastic surgery in Lucy's life.

"I switched to something other than my appearance and stopped chasing the unattainable ideal of beauty that I saw in my edited selfies."

Plastic surgeon Dan Marsh performed in the program in which Lucy participated. He commented on the woman's penchant for plastic surgery and urged viewers to remember that it is "unrealistic and unattainable" to look like in retouched photos.

Lucy admits that she is finally happy now. She is glad to see her reflection in the mirror. But many women suffer from selfie dysmorphia, and they need to turn to psychologists, and not immediately go under the surgeon's knife.
