Trolls say my hubby & I ‘need therapy’ as we’re so obsessed with our looks – we spent £28k on jaw implants & chin shaves
A MARRIED couple shared the hate they receive over their extensive cosmetic procedures.
Rachel and her husband Benjor, both 28, broke down the various procedures they've had over the years.
Appearing on the YouTube Channel, the pair revealed some of the comments they often receive from online trolls.
The self-described "vain couple" met in their Mormon church, and have since left the religion, sharing that they both identify as bi-sexual.
"Benjor is actually the one who inspired me in the beginning to be OK with getting plastic surgery," Rachel said.
Her husband explained that he had been creating content for his business when he noticed aspects of his appearance he wanted to alter.

Having grown up surrounded by women, including a mum who worked in the beauty industry, he said he had a clear understanding of what he wanted.
"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," Benjor said.
While he said he was initially "embarrassed" by the procedures, he revealed that he is now happy to "look very loud."
Rachel, on the other hand, said she began looking "extra" when she was 16.

So when her husband shared his plans to undergo cosmetic procedures, she was instantly on board.
"I was like ‘Well if he’s going to do it, I want to do it too,'" she recalled.
Since then, Rachel has had a jaw implant, a chin shave, a buccal fat reduction, and "Botox everywhere."
"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.
"I’ve had two nose jobs, jaw implants, chin implants, I got my teeth done and lip fillers," Benjor added, revealing that between them they have forked out £28,000 on the procedures.
He explained 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."
The surgeons in the US want people to look more natural, if I wanted to look natural then I wouldn’t do anything.

The couple explained that they went to Benjor's native Brazil to undergo most of the procedures.
"The surgeons [in Brazil] are willing to push things a little further," Rachel said.
"The surgeons in the US want people to look more natural, if I wanted to look natural then I wouldn’t do anything."
They revealed that they are often encouraged to "seek therapy" by strangers online.
"Like we’re mentally ill because we want to tweak some things," Benjor said.
Rachel added that she hates when people tell her she looked "prettier before," pointing out that there's nothing she can do about it now.
Her husband joked that their haters are "saying we look plastic like we’re perfect so we’ll take it."
He added that any interaction they get online, positive or negative, helps to drive traffic.
I will never stop getting plastic surgery and enhancing my appearance.

"It pushes us up and I really believe that’s helping us grow," he explained.
"It used to really affect me but now every time I see a negative comment I think ‘Oh my gosh, haters are fans too,'" Rachel added.
They joked that their brutal honesty about each other's appearances make them "perfect for each other" and said "it's like being married to yourself."
And despite the criticism they receive over their appearance, neither of them plan to ever stop altering their looks.
"I will never stop getting plastic surgery and enhancing my appearance," Rachel said.
"It would be kind of sad if I did because then you’re like ‘I don’t care about myself anymore.’

"I think I will probably be just as vain as I am now until the day that I die."
"I’ll for sure never stop getting surgery but I’ll be careful to not go overboard," Benjor added.
