A Canadian actor's recent death has highlighted the dangers of extreme plastic surgery. The actor reportedly underwent 12 surgeries in a year to look like Jimin, a member of the popular South Korean boy band BTS.

According to reports, the actor spent a large sum of money and underwent a variety of procedures, including nose jobs, liposuction, and other cosmetic surgeries, in an attempt to resemble the K-pop star. However, the actor's health deteriorated rapidly after the surgeries, and he eventually passed away.

This tragic incident has prompted experts to warn about the dangers of extreme plastic surgery. Dr. Kevin Brenner, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California, told CNN that patients should be wary of undergoing too many procedures in a short period of time.

"The body can only handle so much stress at one time," he said. "It's important to have a reasonable expectation and a reasonable timeline for your surgical goals."

Dr. Brenner also emphasized the importance of choosing a qualified plastic surgeon who has experience with the specific procedures a patient wants. He advised patients to research their surgeon thoroughly before undergoing any procedures.

Other experts have also expressed concern about the trend of people undergoing extreme plastic surgery to resemble celebrities or social media influencers. Dr. David Song, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, told CNN that this trend is "concerning."

"I think it's important to recognize that each individual is unique and beautiful in their own way," he said. "It's important to have realistic expectations and to work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can help guide you through the process."

The incident has also sparked a conversation about the mental health implications of wanting to look like someone else. Dr. Melissa Doft, a plastic surgeon in New York City, told CNN that patients who want to drastically alter their appearance may be struggling with underlying mental health issues.

"If someone wants to look like someone else, it's important to really think about what's driving that desire," she said. "Is it coming from a healthy place, or is it coming from a place of insecurity or body dysmorphia?"

Overall, experts agree that patients should approach plastic surgery with caution and should not have unrealistic expectations. The incident involving the Canadian actor serves as a tragic reminder of the risks associated with extreme plastic surgery, and the importance of seeking out qualified and experienced professionals.
