Bad plastic
Tara Reid at the age of 35 became a victim of plastic surgery. Unsuccessful liposuction and breast augmentation surgery changed the appearance, and especially the figure of the actress, beyond recognition. From a beautiful slender woman, she turned into a real old woman with flabby and saggy skin. After surgery, Tara Reid was depressed for a long time, because her body, it would seem, was forever deprived of its former attractiveness.
Soon, Tara pulled herself together and decided on corrective operations in order to correct the waist and deformed nipples. To some extent, she succeeded, but still getting rid of the spots and scars around the chest and navel left by liposuction and breast implants is not so simple.
To this end, Tara decided to undergo a course of high-tech oxygen treatment. The technique boils down to the fact that a person is placed in a pressure chamber, where oxygen is pumped, which helps the skin to renew. But it should be noted that the plastic surgeons themselves doubt the effectiveness of this procedure regarding scar removal.
Tara Reid is an actress whose work has a huge number of fans. Bright, charismatic, talented, she easily fits into any image.
