As for his body dysmorphia, Reid Ewing penned a heartfelt and emotional blog post about his issues.
“I genuinely believed if I had one procedure I would suddenly look like Brad Pitt,” he wrote, explaining that one procedure turning in to another, and then another.
“For the next couple of years, I would get several more procedures with two other doctors. Each procedure would cause a new problem that I would have to fix with another procedure,” Ewing wrote, adding that he paid for the surgeries with money he made from acting and borrowing money from his parents and grandmother “when I was most desperate.”
Now, Reid Ewing says that he realizes that he had a problem and was amazing just the way he was before the plastic surgery. “I wish I could go back and undo all the surgeries. Now I can see that I was fine to begin with and didn’t need the surgeries after all.”
