• 136. No one is PERFECT. If you really take time and understand that most models starve them selfs to look that way really is it worth hurting the inside of you body to make the out side "perfect" NO!!! its not. LIVE A LITTLE, LIFE IS TO SHORT, HAVE FUN EAT STOP GETTING SO MUCH PLASTIC SURGERY. It's okay to get plastic surgery when its needed BUT WHEN YOU CAN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE WHO YOU ARE ANY MORE THEN ITS GONE TO FAR. I'M SORRY SHE DIED BUT WHEN SOME ONE TELLS YOU NO!!! SPECIALLY FROM A DOCTOR THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IT. If you think you are fat and want to get plastic surgery TRY dieting and exercise its not hard. Find a partner who can help you stay on track with the plan dieting I USED THE STABILLITY BALL AND IT RETONED MY TUMMY AND LEGS (3YRS AFTER HAVING A BABY) I'M NOW 120.LBS AND I USE TO BE 175.LBS I DID IT 30MINS A DAY WITH A GREAT DIET PLAN. GOOD LUCK AND STAY NATURAL YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSID AND OUT LOVE YOUR SELF AGAIN "THATS THE NEW FASHION"

• 137. Lets not act like the globe. The pictures are TYPICAL of these surgeries. Are you aware thaat a breast reduction is a breast amputation. It is a cut and a cut leaves a scar ALWAYS. To sensationalize this is just wrong. That is why all kinds of papers are signed to remove any doctor from blame. The body reacts to different things. There are women with c sections with this type of scaring. Someone nailed it, when they said the surgery of this type is so you will look good IN clothes. A scar is a scar. You get cut, you get a scar.

• 138. The jury is still out on the man. He is not guilty until proven otherwise. The photos shown do not under any circumstances deserve the epithet "butchery." The person in the photograph illustrates the normal scars of breast and liposuction procedures. That TMZ is intentionally sensationalizing this tragedy is the real crime, here. My condolences go out to Kanye's family. Under any circumstance, the death of a loved one is difficult. But the possibility that "elective" surgery may have been a cause only exacerbates the grief.

• 140. After 7 C sections of very large babies, I underwent a much needed, tummy tuck operation. It was suggessted and approved by my doctor. My medical insurance covered the entire procedure. It was extremely painful and left a 24 inch scar on my lower abdomen where the incision was made. The pictures of this woman are typical of my wound as it healed. However, it looks as though she had some type of infection thus causing the gaping, open wounds where my drains were placed. Unfortunatley, no one can foresee this happening. Photos must have been taken in early recovery process. Very sad for her...

• 141. The post-op photo is really very typical of a breast redux and tummy tuck procedures...Both surgeries are meant to remove fat and skin and both surgeries leave BIG scars....NO one looks good naked after these surgeries. These surgeries are meant to make you look better in your clothing..... Over overeating and no exercise and getting fat when your pregnant results in the kind of body your see in the photo. No surgery can reverse the ravages of lifestyle. And that is the real truth.

• 142. and another thing, i agree on the fact that if someone wants surgery they should get it how they want it, but then again...surgeries like that, NEVER turn out how you think its going to.....not only that but you have to fill out all kids of bull @#$?! papers telling you that your pretty much signing you over to the doctors because htings dont always go as planned and some peoples bodies react differently and SO many other reasons...she just obviously happened to be one of the ones whos bodies couldnt handle the trauma done to her body and thats why that happened to her. point is, ANYTHING can happen during surgery....so you cant blame the doctors to the fullest. blame yourself, it is indeed YOUR decision to get it done or not

• 143. maybe if kanyes mom had taken the hint from the 3 doctors that told her NOT TO HAVE THE SURGERY DONE she would be alive today...but since people are more worried about their appearance than their LIVES, they choose to do what they do....everyone makes their own decisions, if she was told not to have the surgery, she should have listened, but instead, she CHOSE to have it done and look what happened....no one MADE her go in there and have that surgery....NO ONE! she did it out of being stubborn after already being warned by SEVERAL doctors not to do it!! that is SO her fault, sorry, but it is....its not that doctors fault...

• 144. OH my god ! i can't believe this man did these things to these women who are just trying to feel better about themselves by paying someone to help them do that. Im sure if they could do it themselves they would'nt have to worry about paying anyone, or even becoming disfigured, or ultimately lose there lives. Basically my comment for that doctor or any so called doctor, you need to go to jail and pay back the money that you took from these women plus more, because no one deserves to lose there lives or difigurement for you to get your pockets fat.

• 145. I just want to say to people saying that people should just DIET AND EXERCISE AND TONE: diet and exercise and toning is huge with weight loss, but unfortunately it is a huge misconception that toning and exercise alone with fix excess skin. skin is an organ on it's own. there is no exercise that will "re-tighten" skin. I say this as someone that has lost a ton of weight myself and is considering surgery to get rid of my extra skin. I know there is ton of anecdotal evidence of people that have lost weight and exercised and did not have extra skin. not everyone gets extra skin. but if you have it, there is no other way than surgery to get rid of it.

• 146. First of all, let me start off by saying, anyone who says Ms. West deserved what she got, is just totally ridiculous and absolutly cruel!! If she wanted surgery for whatever reasons, that is her business. And for all you ignorant people who said don't try to complain now. Come on man!! The doctor is a fraud and should be punished. We rely on professionals (who's fees are absolutly outrageous) to do the right job, regardless. If she couldn't have surgery, he should have told her no too. I hope Kanye and his team of lawyers sue the ---- out of Dr. Jan. Sorry if he's the one we have to make the example out of. But this country makes too much money from plastic surgeries that we need to make sure they are performed by appropriatly regardless if they are certified or not. I know Kanye will take the RIGHT actions on behalf of his MOMMY!! Stay up Kanye, she's still looking after you.

• 147. Honestly some of you people commenting on here disgust me more than these photos! Yes, plastic surgery is an elective surgery and people should "love themselves as they are" but for those of you saying Kanye's mom was a rich spoiled idiot... Shame on you. She was a PhD in college english who raised an intelligent son who made it in the industry... But money does not take away your self-image problems and plastics is many peoples way of trying to heal on the outside what resides on the inside... This does not make these people dumb or deserving of pain, mutalation, and/or death! It makes them HUMAN. How dare you comment and say she deserved what was coming to her? What is wrong with you that you could ever say such a thing? Really? I hope God heals whatever hate resides within you before you go around spreading it to others!

• 148. leah, your so right!! i have no sympathy for the people who want something and then balme the doctors for what THEY wabted to begin with!! UGH!? its just discusting how people are!

• 149. I never "hated" my body. I just needed a little fix...that's all. I don't look like a model and frankly I am 33 years old and know I could never look like one. That's all fake too. Photo shopping photos...come on now. I think some of these people need to realize that when you chose to do an elective surgery...you sign your life over, so with that being said you do what YOU feel is best for you. Take a chance or not, free agency...that's what it is! Courtney is right on...when surgeons TELL you NO...listen to that! I don't feel bad for people when they don't listen either. Stinginess and greed take over and look what you get! Right?
