Priscilla Meirelles says no to cosmetic enhancements

Priscilla Meirelles proves that you don't need any enhancements to look beautiful. She confidently shared that she's never had any cosmetic procedures--her stunning looks are all natural! "This is straight from the factory [points to her mom]," Priscilla said in jest when asked if she has undergone any cosmetic enhancements. Then, she revealed that back in her home country, Brazil, she was studying to become a plastic surgeon. "I understand why people would consider [cosmetic surgeries]. To tell you honestly, I was studying to become a plastic surgeon. That was my background. I was in my third year, proper medicine school already, and I was already assisting plastic surgeons back home. I was helping in nose jobs, tummy tucks, and so on. "The reason I decided to do that is because I really believe that it's important the way a person feels. If you're not happy with yourself and you can change to make your quality of life better or to make you feel better about yourself, go for it." The beauty queen-actress also mentioned that at the time she was studying, "I wanted to specialize in reconstructive plastic accidents. Like, people who got into horrible accidents like, burning, those victims, those were what I wanted to specialize on." Priscilla said she is only against beauty enhancements because she feels they can easily become addictive. She explained, "What I'm against is to normalize that and make it an addiction. I don't like the fact that you're gonna completely change the way you look because we are unique. There is nobody else who looks like us. "I think beauty needs to be celebrated in all its forms. So, to enhance something to look about themselves, I'm go for it. But when that becomes an addiction, where you're never satisfied by the way you look, and it's such a nightmare." She reiterated in conclusion, "Go for it. As long as you respect the limits." Meanwhile, here are celebrities who react to "retokada" assumptions:
