Photos: Woman Who Opted For Cinderella Surgery For Feet Regrets Action

30-year old Paulina says she had always hated her feet and felt too embarrassed to get them out in front of her friends because two of them were much longer than the others.

She opted for the ‘Cinderella surgery’- a range of controversial new cosmetic procedures that alter the shape and size of a woman’s feet to improve their appearance. After spending six weeks in pains trying to recover from the surgery, Paulina says the surgeon wasn’t totally honest with her, because he never told her it will affect the rest of her body, hence her life.

I can no longer walk properly, and only hopes I get healed with time. People should think very carefully before they jump into having foot surgery for cosmetic reasons. It’s not worth the risk just for the sake of vanity, my feet are more painful now than they were before, she said. See more photos from the surgery after the cut.
