Meet Mateo Blanco, a young man who has spent over $300,000 and undergone more than 20 cosmetic surgery procedures to get the image he has always desired.

It took his mother many days to see her kid again after the procedures because she was so distraught.

Upon viewing a photo of Mateo before to his surgery, many expressed shock and empathy for his mother, who had given birth to him and had many restless nights worried about him.

Mateo received remarks regarding his appearance after surgery and concerns about his mental health in a variety of forms.

Some asked if he was happy with the outcome, while others made assumptions about the kinds of people who may find his new appearance attractive.

Various viewpoints of Mateo’s experience are evident in the discussions that occur on the internet.
