‘1000-Lb Best Friends’ Vannessa Cross Reveals Plastic Surgeon Turned Her Away
1000-Lb Best Friends star Vannessa Cross knows better than anyone how difficult it is to qualify for skin removal surgery. She did go on to receive the procedure. But as Season 3 continues, fans are watching the TLC star sincerely struggle with her self-worth.
In a new interview, Vannessa opened up about her procedures and admitted she struggled to find a plastic surgeon who would work with her.
Read on to get the scoop.
Vannessa Cross Struggled To Find The Right Plastic Surgeon
In 1000-Lb Best Friends Season 3, Vannessa Cross has lost hundreds of pounds. Now, her biggest hurdle is her loose skin. She’s even nicknamed her skin flap “Betsy May.”
But before Betsy May went anywhere, Vannessa had to deal with quite a lot of rejection.
Vannessa opened up to Access Hollywood about her journey so far and where she wants to go next.
“I thought when you wanted plastic surgery you can walk into a plastic surgeon’s office and they’re not gonna tell you ‘no,’ because you’re paying your money just to have plastic surgery. Baby, I was told ‘no’ by two different plastic surgeons,” the TLC star admitted.
She reached out to the number one plastic surgeon in Atlanta and he turned her down, citing she was too big of a risk.
“When you hear ‘no,’ it breaks you down to the point where I kinda got scared I would never have it,” Vannessa continued. However, she kept working toward her goals, determined not to give up. She admitted it’s so easy to get distressed because everyone wants instant gratification.
But in the end, it’s all worth the wait.
“Plastic surgery is a dream come true when you get to see the results. It really does amaze me when I look at myself,” Vannessa shared in the interview.
The TLC Star Eventually Wants More Surgery
Although Vannessa Cross couldn’t be happier to be done with Betsy May, she does want more plastic surgery eventually. In particular, she would love to have a Brazillian Butt Lift. She explained that everyone in her family is completely flat “as a pancake” when it comes to their rear ends.
In addition to the BBL and other cosmetic procedures, Vannessa wants to eventually have her teeth fixed. She acknowledged the rude comments she received about her smile and confessed they hurt her feelings.
