I Got Dumped for Being Ugly: Japanese Woman’s Extreme Plastic Surgery Transformation

On August 28th, the Sankei Shimbun covered the story of “Lara,”a Japanese woman who made the decision to undergo extensive plastic surgery after her ex-boyfriend’s negative comments about her appearance resulted in their relationship ending.

Five years ago, shortly after starting her job as a nurse, this woman took to her SNS to reveal that she had been dumped by her ex-boyfriend. Looking back on her appearance during that period, she candidly described herself as “unkempt and overweight”.

Despite never having flown before, she decided to take a flight to Korea following her breakup. She brought along a large sum of cash to cover the costs of her “full-body transformation.”The procedures, which consisted of facial contouring, rhinoplasty, and eye surgery, lasted a total of 9 hours. She also underwent additional surgeries such as liposuction and fat grafting in both Korea and Japan. Throughout her numerous procedures, she made sure to avoid trendy looks and instead aimed for a more natural appearance. In total, her transformation cost her a staggering 18 million JPY.

Lara’s dramatic before-and-after photos caught the attention of many on social media, propelling her to influencer status in Japan. After investing 18 million JPY in plastic surgery and losing over 10 kg, she dedicated herself to hard work and was able to surpass an annual income of 10 million JPY in just 6 months. Her ultimate goal is to achieve both emotional and financial independence, and she has already saved 13 million JPY towards this goal. Lara firmly believes that true happiness requires perseverance and a willingness to make difficult changes in order to create a fulfilling life for oneself.

Her transformation was not only limited to her physical appearance, according to her. She stated that gaining confidence in her looks also resulted in changes in her behavior. Previously, she would often blame others and belittle them in order to boost her own self-esteem. However, after undergoing surgery, she gained newfound confidence and was able to alter that aspect of her personality. As a result, both her inner and outer self have improved significantly. She constantly reminds herself that she is the only one who has the power to change herself.
