Jocelyn Wildenstein underwent multiple cosmetic procedures because she thought her husband would stay with her if she made herself look more like the big cats he loved.
Her tortured progress over the years shows a transformation into someone who doesn't even look human. Her husband did divorce her anyway, and has just passed away.
She is stuck with this look, which is certainly not universally appealing. Let this be a lesson to all who feel insecure and are tempted to do something radical about it. Go for therapy first.

Another angle to this "when have you gone too far" discussion is doctor responsibility. I read a quote recently in New Beauty magazine in which a doctor stated that some of his colleagues will go ahead with procedures they might otherwise discourage a patient from having because they realize that the patient will just go find another doctor who will perform the procedure--ie, so the thinking is why lose the business--or why risk the patient going to some "hack" doctor who may not be as qualified to perform the work?
