She took makeover to a whole new level.
A woman admitted to spending more than $30,000 on a new face because she claims she was “ugly.”
But now that she’s enhanced her face, Mia Dio says her face doesn’t move — and she doesn’t even recognize herself anymore.
In a YouTube video with 819,000 views, Dio shared all the cosmetic treatments she has gotten done with her 78,000 followers.
She started off the video by saying she couldn’t care less about the haters.
“Before you judge me, I don’t really care. Because based off of this video, I am obviously my worst judge,” she said. “You cannot out-judge me more than I have judged myself in this life.”
Dio describes herself as going from “being botched to Barbie.”
The YouTuber shared that she actually started with beauty enhancements at a young age, and the first thing she ever did was get lip filler at 16 years old — and she had to use a fake ID to do so.
After she got her first filler, she claims she got “addicted” to lip filler and kept going back for more, wanting to “look like a Bratz doll.”
She admitted that at the time she started getting filler, she was opting for the cheapest available option, so her lips were lumpy, not moving and “way too big” for her face.
People told her to slow down, but Dio suggested she had some type of “lip-filler dysmorphia” where her pout never looked big enough to her.
When she was 19, she got some of her filler dissolved and ended up with her current lips. After getting the filler dissolved in random spots, she had to go get her lips evened out as she had been making them look even with makeup for about a year and a half.
Dio stuck to just lip fillers for a while, but after her high school graduation, she had enough money to get her nose done, which cost her $5,000.
“The result looks so much like my natural nose, just a little bit more angular, which basically just snatched my face up,” she said of her nose job.
After her rhinoplasty, Dio “chilled” with the cosmetic procedures for a while — until she started getting Botox.
Now, Dio regularly gets “baby Botox” on her forehead.
Baby Botox is a preventative treatment while regular Botox is corrective, according to Cosmetic Skin Clinic.
Dio claims she has a very expressive face and is always making faces at the camera, and she started to notice she had a few lines starting to mark her forehead, so she got Botox to make her forehead smooth — and she noticed it also lifted her eyebrows up.
She also started experimenting with the “fox eyelift,” where they put thread under your skin and pull the skin up, “giving you like a ponytail facelift.”
“Although this was really fun to experiment with, the results don’t last long at all. At most, you’ll see the results for three months,” Dio explained. “Apparently, if you keep on doing it, the skin underneath your skin scars enough that maybe it’ll just stay like that.”
Although this hasn’t stopped Dio from getting the procedure done, she admitted that she still gets the fox eyelift for special occasions when she wants to look “super snatched.”
“So, clearly, it hasn’t scared me away or there’s something seriously wrong with me,” she quipped.
Next, Dio got her teeth done after messaging a dental clinic in Bodrum, Turkey, on TikTok — where Dio has 5.2 million followers — that worked with influencers.
She got 20 porcelain veneers, no crowns and did not have to shave her teeth into “shark teeth.”
Since she’s an influencer, she got a discount on the procedure, but shared that it normally would’ve cost $5,500 — which would include the treatment, hotel and VIP luxury transportation. But flights to Turkey are not covered in the price, which Dio said was a minimum of $1,000 per person.
This was “it for a while,” until she met a celebrity injector in Miami, Florida, who she calls Dr. Ron. She reached out to him, and when he asked what she wanted to get done, she said whatever he recommends.
She noted that as she did everything Dr. Ron suggested, her face was already completely numb, so she didn’t feel anything that was done to her.
They retouched her Botox, got under-eye filler, added a little bit of filler in her cheekbones, put threads under her skin to lift up her cheek fat and tuck it back — which she does about every 10 months.
Dio also recently got jaw Botox, which was recommended to her by her dentist to help with teeth grinding.
The final procedure Dio did was surgical — and not on her face. She got a boob job, which took her from an A-cup to double D’s.
But Dio stressed that while she definitely finds herself to be more confident now, and it personally helped her, it’s not necessarily a Band-Aid for low confidence.
“I think it’s important to note that cosmetic procedures or plastic surgery aren’t meant to be a one-size-fix-all for self-esteem issues,” she said. “Although it can help.”
