Join me as I share the harrowing stories of individuals who embarked on international journeys in search of cosmetic transformation, only to meet tragic and sometimes fatal ends.\n\nI shed light on the risks and dangers associated with undergoing surgery in foreign lands. From unlicensed practitioners to substandard medical facilities, we explore the alarming lapses in safety and ethics that can turn a dream makeover into a nightmare.\n\nThis episode serves as a stark reminder that beauty comes at a cost, and sometimes that cost is far greater than anyone could imagine. \n\n* Listener discretion is advised."}
