Social Media

Ladies, let’s talk—why are we still out here chasing these impossible beauty standards like it’s a TikTok trend we can’t scroll past? Two women in Poznań thought they were leveling up their looks but ended up on operating tables in full-on damage control mode. Social media got us thinking we need to freeze, plump, or tweak everything just to stay relevant—but at what cost?

Fake Diplomas

Monika and Agnieszka rolled into what they thought was a legit cosmetic clinic to fix some under-eye vibes. The woman running the place flexed diplomas and called herself a doctor, but turns out her “medical” creds were faker than a knockoff Louis. She pumped them with polylactic acid—a no-go for eyes, according to real docs—and the results were straight-up horror show: swelling, lumps, and tears. Agnieszka even admitted she was so panicked she didn’t know if she’d still have her vision by the end of the day. That’s next-level trauma.

By the time a real pro stepped in, surgery was the only option to undo the mess. It cost them thousands of złoty and a whole lot of stress. Meanwhile, the so-called “doctor” is now under investigation, claiming she never said she was legit. But here’s the kicker: when reporters confronted her, she was STILL offering the same risky procedures.

The Lesson

So, what’s the lesson here? Is it time to stop letting Instagram, filters, and beauty influencers convince us that “perfection” is one injection away? Let’s be real—the pressure to look young and flawless isn’t worth risking your health. If you’re considering aesthetic treatments, do your homework. And most importantly, remember that the best glow-up comes from owning who you are, flaws and all.
