All around world, women in the beauty and modelling industry (including some ordinary ones) are undergoing extreme procedures to be thin and control their body weight…
Venezuelan teenager Maya Nava who is contesting for Miss Venezuela is reported to be holding on desperate measures in a bid to win the country’s most vaunted beauty pageant.
The 18-year-old has had plastic mesh sewn to her tongue so that eating solids is simply too painful.
‘It makes me lose weight faster,’ she tells the BBC3 show Extreme Beauty Queens: Secrets of South America. ‘You eat the same [things] but liquefied.’
Maya is one of thousands of young girls desperate to be crowned Miss Venezuela and their families will do virtually anything to make it happen.
Though not rich, her family has managed to raised £7,000 to pay for cosmetic surgery to improve her chances of winning.
