A couple who have spent thousands on plastic surgery to transform their looks say that haters only "encourage them" to go under the knife even more. Married couple Rachel and Benjor, both 28, are a self-described "vain" couple who have spent nearly £30,000 on surgery and treatments. Critics insist the duo need "therapy" to help with their surgery "addiction" but now they've hit back. The pair, who both identify as bisexual, met at a Mormon church but have since turned their back on their strict religious lives. They are extremely open about their cosmetic work, and recently appeared on the Love Don't Judge show where they addressed the backlash and hate they get online.
"Benjor is actually the one who inspired me in the beginning to be OK with getting plastic surgery," Rachel said. Benjor explained how he had been creating content for his business when he realised there were parts of his appearance he wanted to tweak. He said: "I thought 'Gosh, my nose is kind of crooked, my teeth are kind of messed up' and that's when I started doing plastic surgery.". Despite initially feeling "embarassed" by his cosmetic work, Benjor now proudly shows off his transformation and says he is happy to look "very loud". Meanwhile, Rachel has always loved to stand out and as soon as her husband went under the knife, she followed suit. She has since had a jaw implant, a chin shave, a buccal fat reduction, and "Botox everywhere.".
The cosmetic lover said: "I had filler in my undereye, in my smile lines, I have filler in my nose, I just got my lips dissolved but I'll be getting more lip filler, oh, and I've had my teeth done," she explained and Benjor said: "I've had two nose jobs, jaw implants, chin implants, I got my teeth done and lip fillers. He revealed that between them they have forked out £28,000 on the procedures and said that he would have "never imagined' that they would go down the cosmetic surgery route when they first tied the knot. "I'm glad I did, I definitely look a lot better," Benjor said, adding that his wife looked "already looked perfect.".
Most of the procedures were done in Benjors native country, and Rachel said the surgeons there are willing to "push things a little further". She explained: "The surgeons in the US want people to look more natural, if I wanted to look natural then I wouldn't do anything.". Due to their enhanced looks, the couple revealed they are often told to "seek therapy" by strangers online. Rachel said she hates when people tell her she looked "prettier before," and said there's nothing she can do about it now.
Benjor joked their haters are "saying we look plastic like we're perfect so we'll take it." The couple said the comments don't bother them and any interaction they get online, positive or negative, helps to drive traffic. "It pushes us up and I really believe that's helping us grow," he explained. Despite all of the trolling over their looks, neither of them are planning on stopping with their cosmetic procedures any time soon. "I will never stop getting plastic surgery and enhancing my appearance. It would be kind of sad if I did because then you’re like 'I don't care about myself anymore'.".
