Worst celebrity plastic surgery mistakes

Sometimes, it's the painful admission that you were a little rough on the facial filler. Other times, it is as small as a simple Botox puncture hitting (and damaging) a particular nerve. More seriously, it's as scary as navigating the seedy world of basement injections (Cardi, what were you thinking?)

This teenage mother was twice failed
Teen mom star Farrah Abraham didn't let a ruined lip implant spoil her passion for plastic surgery, even if the ordeal was terrifying. During the heartbreaking experience, which she discussed on a 2015 episode of The Doctors (via Us Weekly), the star admitted that her lips swelled before receiving a single permanent injection.

I'm super happy to be alive.
Abraham visited the doctors on the hit series E! Botched, who told him how risky that problem was (hint: it was really, really risky). According to Dr. Terry Dubrow (via Jezebel), "The swelling could have entered the tongue, the back of the throat, cut off the airway and basically strangled him."
This was not Abraham's only plastic surgery mistake. According to The Mirror, The star received a third breast augmentation to fix "burning and pain problems" from past surgeries.

In fact, I started running after that and got much better results.
Dana Delany's Botox disaster
In Tinsel City, Botox is not an anomaly. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Women in Los Angeles "receive twice as many filler, laser and Botox treatments" as their peers on the other coast. For this reason, it should come as no surprise that Emmy winner Dana Delany, a purebred New Yorker, is not a fan of facial injections, but that doesn't mean she hasn't tried them.

TMZ reports that Priscilla saw Dr. Daniel Serrano sometime "around 2003." The Argentine doctor had been handing out alleged "miracle injections that worked better than Botox" to Hollywood attendees, who included Larry King's wife, Shawn King. The price of each injection was between $ 300 and $ 500, and Serrano made house calls. It seems like a dream come true, right? No
Serrano was not actually a licensed physician. According to the Daily Mail, she "was only licensed as a nurse" when Presley was a victim of the scam. Worse still: his miracle shots were nothing more than low-grade industrial silicone (that is, the same thing used to grease your car when he's in the store). His work caused "lumps, paralysis and holes" on the faces of his victims, according to TMZ, and Shawn King was left with a "lump on his lip that made it difficult for him to speak and drink fluids."

Cardi B had an illegal basement procedure

The rapper told him Vlad TV was 'desperate for a bigger a **, and then almost every girl was going to see this woman who was getting the shots in Queens, and she's like,' Well, give me her number and hook me up. '".
