A number of people would go great lengths to enhance their appearance and that is the reason why plastic surgeries are becoming a common practice everywhere in the world.
Sadly, these procedures aren’t always successful and leave permanent damage and deformation on the face.
The story of former runner-up in miss Russia beauty contest, Yulia Tarasevich, is the perfect proof of plastic surgery going wrong.
When she decided to go under the knife, Yulia opted for the best clinic and got in touch with whom she believed was the best surgeon for the job. For the procedure she had undergone in the Russian city of Krasnodar, she paid $4,000, as reported by East2West News.
Unfortunately, the former beauty queen, 43, was botched.
Speaking to Channel 1, as quoted by the New York Post, Yulia said that the surgeon turned her “beautiful, healthy face” into somewhat of a nightmare.
“I came to them with a beautiful, healthy face. I just wanted to correct some nuances caused by aging,” Yulia, a mother of two, said. “But sadly, I lost my health.”

The procedures she had included facelift surgery, removing excess skin of the eyelids, known as a blepharoplasty, and a cheek fat reduction. Sadly, she was left “disfigured.”
What followed were a number of emergency follow-up surgeries during which doctors fought to save her eyes, which she couldn’t close at the time, from necrosis, which is the death of the cells in body tissues.
“I have scars that formed in my cheeks when they ripped out all my tissue,” she told Channel 1, the New York Post reported. “My eyes don’t close, and I can’t smile. I can’t lift my upper lip. One part of my face doesn’t work at all.”
“I went quietly to the operation, firstly, because all my tests were in order,” she added. “Secondly, because I had plastic surgery before this, I did rhinoplasty, and it went perfectly for me, without any genetic abnormalities.”
YouTube
Yulia claimed the initial surgeries left her scleroderma, a rare genetic condition that causes skin hardening, and sued the two surgeons who performed the procedures, Dr. Andrey Komarov and Dr. Omar Khaled, of not doing their job right.
She, however, didn’t provide a prof that she suffered from the disease.
“I went quietly to the operation, firstly, because all my tests were in order. Secondly, because I had plastic surgery before this, I did rhinoplasty, and it went perfectly for me, without any genetic abnormalities,” the Russian beauty queen said.
“The surgeons made me the only one guilty for what has happened,” she added. “The doctors, who disfigured my face, relieved themselves of all responsibility. I decided to have my day in court.”

The follow-up procedures cost Yulia $27,000. Dr. Omar Khaled called it “exaggerated” but the Russian Investigative Committee began investigating the two doctors on the procedure.
“A forensic medical examination has been appointed to determine the severity of the harm to health, and other patients who could have suffered from poor-quality services in this clinic are also being identified,” spokeswoman Anna Pushkina said. “The investigation of the criminal case is ongoing.”
Yulia thanked her followers for their support.
“Hi, my friends. I would like to really thank each and every one of you who support me. Thanks to each an every one of you from the bottom of my heart,” she wrote.
YouTube
Following detailed investigation, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Krasnodar Territory charged Dr. Andrey Komarov over the procedure which left Yulia severely harmed.
The office said he provided services that “did not meet the requirements of consumer health and safety.”
If found guilty, he could face up to 6 years in prison and would be required to pay $5,000.
The doctor is also facing a civil case as Yulia sued him for suffering from depression after the surgery. She was unable to close her eyelids or smile because her face was assymetrical.
We hope she will get the justice she deserves.

When then 37-year-old Jason Barnum entered the courtroom and pleaded guilty to shooting a police officer in Anchorage, Alaska, it wasn’t the crime he committed that had people talking about him, but the tattoo that filled the white of his right eye.
Barnum earned himself the nickname “Eyeball” and became an overnight sensation.
However, as it was reported that he started serving his long sentence, a rumor emerged that he was in fact the son of one of America’s most beloved actors.
It was in 2012 that Barnum fired a gun at an officer after they entered the hotel room he was staying in following an investigation of break-ins in vehicles and burglaries in the south of Anchorage.
The officers exited the hotel room, shooting back at Barnum, and soon, many other police officers joined in. The police evacuated guests from the hotel. Not long after, SWAT officers were at the scene.
The shot officer only sustained injuries, and Barnum received a sentence of over 20 years for what he did.
The police found jewelry and other valuables in a backpack in the hotel room. It was later determined that Barnum had gone on a crime spree. He stole cars and entered people’s homes looking for money to be able to buy heroin.
He was arraigned on one count of attempted murder and two counts of felony assault and his bail was set at $500,000. When asked if he understood what he was charged of and if he wanted an attorney, he simply answered, “Sure, why not.”
Barnum was a criminal known to the police who had been accused and convicted of 14 crimes prior to his last one.
The moment he entered the courtroom, all eyes were on him because of his distinctive looks. His body was covered in tattoos, but the one that attracted most attention was the one in his eye. The white of his right eyeball was tattooed in black.
Although it’s not uncommon to witness those sorts of tattoos nowadays, back in the day that was something rather new and unusual.
“I think Jason Barnum decided a long time ago that his life was about being hostile to people,” Anchorage Police Department Chief Mark Mew told local reporters. “It seems to me that he wakes up everyday wanting to do bad things to innocent folks and wants everybody to know it.”
KTUU-TV
Barnum claimed that he was forced to become a criminal after he failed to find a job because of his tattoos.
“I was living on the streets, and I tried to get a job, but of course, my beautiful face didn’t allow me to do that,” Barnum said during the hearing.
However, although he took most part of the blame on himself, he also blamed the Alaska Department of Corrections for not providing any help for him after leaving prison in 2010. “I tried man, I apolozige to the folks who are hurt from this.”
Before the sentence was given, Police Chief Officer Mark Mew spoke on that subject.
“I’m going to stick my neck out here and state the obvious. I’d like you to take a look at Mr. Barnum. He has the right to do this to himself and to express himself,” he said. “We can’t sentence him for that, but I think we can consider a guy’s attitude and his behavior.
Today, not much is known about “Eyeball,” but allegedly, he’s been serving his sentence at the Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward, Alaska.
When the public expressed interest about Barnum during his trial in 2012, a rumor started spreading around that he could be the son of Hollywood star Harrison Ford.
The Indiana Jones star showed up next to “Eyeball” Barnum in a Revcontent article titled “Harrison Ford has pretty much given up on his son.”
However, it was soon revealed that the rumor wasn’t true at all.

Singer Pink, who is one of America’s sweethearts, never ceases to show the world that she truly deserves to be considered a legend and one of the best females vocals of all time. On top of that, she’s also an incredible mother to her two children.
Recently, Pink shared that her heart dropped when her daughter told her she doesn’t feel beautiful. This confused the singer who tried to learn the reason behind those feelings.
Instagram
Willow, her daughter, explained, “I look like a boy with long hair.”
Pink knew she needed to convince her daughter otherwise, because she truly is one perfectly sweet child. “You’re six … Where is this coming from?” the singer said. But instead of telling her she’s beautiful, Pink decided to approach the issue from another perspective.
Throughout the years, Pink has remained true to her signature looks, and that includes her rather short hair, sporting pink and blonde locks, bouffants, mohawks.
Instagram
When her daughter told her about feeling ugly, Pink asked her why she though her mom kept her looks pretty much the same over the years. She then told Willow she did that because she loved it that way and because that’s who she is. Further, she explained that she won’t change just to accommodate others. Instead, she explained to Willow, “We help other people to change so that they can see more kinds of beauty.”
Pink is a phenomenal mom who teacher her children the true values in life.

There comes a time in life when we find ourselves at a crossroad and don’t know what to do next. During these times, it’s important that we have someone to turn to, whether that someone is a parent, a family member, or a friend we trust.
For Alexis Cuban, that person is her mogul father Mark Cuban, the owner of Dallas Mavericks and an investor on Shark Tank.
Being a billionaire and an extremely successful businessman, his words of wisdom for his daughter can come in handy for any of us.
Speaking to GQ, Cuban explained that his daughter, who is a sophomore in college, admitted how she isn’t sure what she wants for her future.
His advice to her was rather simple. “You don’t have to know what you’re going to be.”
“Everybody goes through that process of trying to figure out who they are,” he explained. “What you’ve got to be able to do is be agile and excited about learning to be curious. That’s what’s most important. If you’re curious, and you’re agile, you’ll get there eventually. It might not happen when you want it to, but you’ll get there eventually.”
I believe this is something we should all have in mind.
