Despite only being 22 years old,
According to Ng, while speaking in a video, she recounted how she envied supermodels and how her then boyfriend, who is nine years older than her, kept criticizing how she looks like. His treatment to her got only worse when he occasionally compared her to other ladies.
This horrible experience, top by the constant feeling of insecurity, had pushed Ng to the decision that she needs to undergo plastic surgery. At the time, she spent $137 for three injections then followed by $2,929 when she was convinced to go through another procedure, according to China Press as translated by Stomp.

Things then began to crumble when she went on a quest to become the “perfect beauty.” Unfortunately, her obsession for beauty came with a terrible price; it led to an addiction to plastic surgery where she spent a fortune to try and reach her goal.
She had cosmetic procedures done on her forehead, eyes, cheeks, nose and chin with the hope in her mind and heart that her boyfriend would pay close attention to her and compliment her. Ng was already close to 30 procedures in just six months when she started going under the knife, and by the time she reached 21, most of her surgeries were already done.
“At that moment, if he had stopped me and told me that I was beautiful enough, I would have stopped, but he didn’t,” she said.
To no avail, he didn’t say anything. In fact, after all the operations she went through, he still criticized, specifically her breasts.
Ng finally snapped out of her obsession when she saw her mother crying when she visited her after her breast augmentation surgery. It was at that time, Ng figured she had to do something so she broke up with her boyfriend and worked on her plastic surgery addiction.
While speaking with the media, Ng said that many girls who are in the same relationship as she did suffer the same problem when their partner always try to find fault in them. When asked if she would prefer her old look or now, laughed and said she’d very much love to go back looking like her old self.
