Asked in the program Stars of the tube of a day: What became of them, the singer Indra spoke of her bad experience with cosmetic surgery.
Friday, July 15, TFX broadcast Hit Stars of a Day: What Happened to Them? The opportunity to find Indra, a singer known in particular for We Belong Together. But the artist, now 54, confided in a much less glorious subject: her hell linked to cosmetic surgery.. It was at the age of 39 that the singer had Botox injections: “It started with a Botox injection in 2006, so it dates back. The Botox is starting to take effect. I remember, I had two explosions behind my neck. Like something farting, everything had let go. I felt the head going down, she reveals.
Indra then describes what she felt: “I was stuck down. I was even starting to have a dislocated jaw so much it was pulling down”. The singer still suffers from many after-effects of these injections. Helped by an osteopath, she is also delighted to finally be taken seriously, while some doctors reproached her for “making movies”. It’s terrible to hear that. People often say to me, ‘Why are you bloated? Do you give injections?’ No, it’s the edema, it’s the weight”, she answers.
Indra: “For two days, I found myself like dogs who have folds. It was terrible”
Indra also remembers being followed by a doctor who treated her with cortisone, but the effects were “even more devastating”. “I was with my son in the park and all of a sudden it let go. It felt like rubber bands going backwards, as if we had let go. And then the nose, there was water flowing . Liters. I felt my face go empty. For two days, I found myself like dogs who have folds. It was terrible”. Still today, the suffering is at the rendezvous : “It’s a syndrome and it’s constant suffering. And I’m exhausted. And I think that today we have to take stock of what it is possible to make at face level(…) and not try to backtrack on something that can no longer be done.”

“And I think that today we need to make an inventory of what it is possible to render at the level of the face, (…) and not try to go back on something that will no longer be able to be done.”
