Cosmetic Surgery Nearly Killed Me – Chasing Society’s Beauty Standards

Paula wanted the “perfect” body to fit society’s beauty standards — instead, cosmetic surgery took her to the edge of death… twice. In this powerful interview, Paula reveals how her heart stopped, how she watched doctors work on her body from above, and the life-changing lessons she learned about self-worth, acceptance, and living with purpose.

This is not just a story about cosmetic surgery gone wrong. It’s a raw, honest conversation about the dangerous pressure to look perfect, the truth about beauty standards, and how near-death can change your perspective on life forever.

If you’ve ever thought about plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures, or chasing society’s idea of perfection — this is the video you need to see.
