The tongue is sewn to lose weight. The crazy gesture of an aspiring Miss

Maya Nava is a girl just eighteen but very determined. In order to fulfill her dream - to become this year's Venezuelan queen - she is willing to do anything.

After a few cosmetic nose and breast surgeries worth $ 7,000, he has now done an extreme gesture that is certainly causing debate.

Maya laced up her tongue to lose weight: "So I have to eat only liquid food and I can control my weight," she says. A do-it-yourself operation, endorsed by her own parents, which causes her pain every time she tries to ingest solid food. A safe way to say the least to keep away from calories and the risk of gaining a few pounds.

For Maya, coming from the Santa Cruz neighborhood in Caracas, marked by poverty and a crime every 40 minutes, the saying "If you want to look beautiful" really applies.
