A young Vietnamese man named Do Quyen underwent nine facial surgeries between 2020 and 2021 after growing tired of being rejected for jobs because of his appearance. He shared on TikTok that an HR manager at a company where he applied for work mocked him for how he looked, which affected him so deeply that he decided to go through multiple operations to look completely different.

Do Quyen underwent changes to his skin tone, nose, chin, jaw, eyes, and lips. The procedures included rhinoplasty, chin implants, porcelain veneers, lip reshaping, double eyelid surgery, and lip implants.

Do Quyen told his followers that he invested around $17,000 across the nine cosmetic procedures.

“The first time I came home after plastic surgery, my parents didn’t recognize me. It was something I had hoped for so much that I couldn’t hold back my tears,” said Do Quyen.

The transformation brought so many changes to his life that he is now a sought-after model and professional makeup artist. He says he is now happy, works as a professional makeup artist, and paid for all his surgeries with his own savings. He says he has no regrets.
