In a bold act of defiance against societal beauty standards, one man has revealed the jaw-dropping results of reversing his extreme cosmetic alterations—removing facial fillers and undergoing eye plastic surgery. His dramatic transformation, shared online, has captivated millions and sparked widespread conversation.
David Kosir rose to fame for his lavish transformation journey—an ambitious pursuit of a highly stylized, artificial look. His fascination with cosmetic enhancements began in 2019 with dermal fillers, but quickly evolved into what he later recognized as a full-blown addiction. Determined to achieve a “plastic” appearance, he underwent multiple procedures that steadily reshaped his face into a vision inspired by the male version of a Barbie doll—Ken.
A pivotal moment came in May 2021, when Kosir underwent his first permanent procedure, marking a turning point in his transformation. His goal was clear: to embody the ultimate “plastic, fake” aesthetic, which he viewed as the highest form of beauty. His journey is a striking example of how far individuals may go in pursuit of their self-imagined ideal.
Kosir spared no expense. He was open about the staggering amounts he spent in his pursuit of perfection. He paid $7,500 for 14 milliliters of lip filler, $1,200 per month for laser freckle removal sessions, and $7,000 for 10 milliliters of cheek filler. Altogether, he invested over $100,000 in cosmetic procedures—including $33,000 for dental veneers and crowns, and $13,000 for a rhinoplasty.
Social media played a central role in his obsession. Flooded with images of flawlessly altered faces, Kosir admitted that these curated visuals fueled his desire to keep enhancing his appearance. But eventually, he reached a turning point.
Known online as @plasticbotchedboy, Kosir posted a video titled “Removed all my facial filler,” which quickly went viral—amassing over 22 million views. The stark contrast in his before-and-after appearance stunned viewers. Praise poured in through the comments: “The best thing he could have done,” “Looks so much better without, looked funky before,” and “You instantly look younger, so much more youthful!” were just a few of the overwhelmingly positive responses.
But Kosir didn’t stop with just removing fillers. He went on to undergo several more surgeries, including a cat-eye reversal, cheek lift, lip lift, and facial fat transfer. Post-surgery, his face appeared swollen and left some viewers skeptical. However, once the swelling subsided, the final results were nothing short of remarkable.
The transformation impressed many who had initially doubted him: “You know what, I didn’t believe the procedure at first… but now that you’re healed, you look gorgeous.”
David Kosir’s journey is both cautionary and inspirational. It sheds light on the psychological impact of beauty ideals, the seductive power of social media, and the courage it takes to change course—even after investing so much into one version of yourself.
