Sidra, an elderly former supermodel and beauty queen, wanted to regain her youthful appearance. She asked for help from her gay best friend named Kyle, who brought his partner: Ravi, a plastic surgeon who made house calls. Pleased with the initial results, Sidra wanted more, but found Botox to be too expensive. While searching for a more affordable treatment online, she came across an article suggesting that injecting corn oil into the face was a more effective alternative. Sidra decided to use corn oil as a substitute for the expensive injections.
After a trip to the supermarket, Sidra was ready to inject the oil into her face to keep her skin looking fresh and beautiful. Even though the constant injections were disfiguring her face, she believed she was becoming more beautiful and prettier. Eventually, the corn oil made her bleed out from her eyes and lips and caused cell death in her heart and lungs and eventually, death to herself.

The actress that portrayed Sidra tragically died on April 10, 2015.
This is similar to the death of Maria Olivia Castillo.
This death is based on the story of a former South Korean model named Hang Mioku who, like Sidra, had begun injecting corn oil after doctors refused to give her anymore silicone. Mioku, however, survived the DIY injections but remained disfigured even after undergoing reconstructive surgery.
