Beauty treatments are plentiful, and many rush to them for that desired look. From breast augmentation to botox, each has unique results and recovery times—all in the pursuit of looking good.
Around 70% of U.S. consumers are predicted to consider cosmetic procedures by 2023. Despite potential regrets about overfilled lips or unnecessary surgeries, people often hesitate to admit their mistakes. One woman, Marta Mielczarska, sheds light on her missteps.
In a TikTok video, Mielczarska details five cosmetic treatments she regrets, reflecting on each choice and its impact. Since April, the video has gained over 100,000 views.
1. Under Eye Filler
Mielczarska shares how the filler gave her volume she didn’t need, making her look slightly bloated. Despite it naturally thinning with time, she opts not to remove it.
2. Lip Filler, Anti-Wrinkle Injections, and Skin Rejuvenation
Mielczarska admits to bad Botox and lip fillers, emphasizing the importance of choosing quality over price. Now, she sticks to trusted injectable providers.
3. Microblading
She regrets microblading her eyebrows years ago, as the trend faded and left the color looking off. Seeking better solutions for her naturally blonde brows, she opts to embrace her natural look.
4. Eyelash Extensions
After an 8-year addiction to lash extensions, Mielczarska now aims for a more natural look, appreciating the beauty of simplicity over heavy makeup enhancements.
5. Breast Implants
Mielczarska reflects on her regrettable breast implant experience, which led to complications. Despite some positive outcomes from corrective surgery, she now questions the need for such drastic cosmetic changes.
Her past experiences have reshaped her approach to beauty treatments, now focusing on skin health and smaller procedures. Education and careful consideration are key to avoiding future regrets.
