While researching on the internet I found stories and images about people who have resorted to attempting to perform plastic surgery procedures on themselves with horrific results. One such case in the news is of Hang Mioku, a pretty 28 year old; she thought that injecting herself with cooking oil could enhance her lips in the same way as the professional expensive treatments of botox had. I like the idea of injecting oil into the lips for my character and I have decided that I want my character to use extreme measures to change her appearance and ends up maiming her body in the desire to become popular again.
