What NOT to do if you're obsessed with plastic surgery or bettering your looks. Seriously, do NOT click on this link if you're easily grossed out by self-mutilation. A woman in Korea ran out of the silicon a doctor had given her to inject into her face (????...don't get me started on the Korean health system) and started injecting cooking oil instead. Hers is not the only case of obsessive self "betterment" in the name of looking good.
