A woman who spent more than £50,000 to look like her idol Kim Kardashian says it was worth every penny.
Cherri Lee grew up believing the American socialite was the most “beautiful woman in the world”.
Deciding to look like her, she had her first surgery at the age of 20 in 2014, on her eyes to give her double eyelids.
The procedure opened the floodgates to more to get the perfect Kardashian face and hourglass figure – totalling 15 procedures in eight years.
After three Brazilian butt lifts, two breast augmentations and several facial surgeries, South Korean Cherri, also known as Hanbyeol, says she is finally happy, reports Manchester Evening News.
The 28-year-old teacher said: “Every time I went under the knife, I saw a positive change and I loved it.
"I always wanted the glamorous big boobs and big bum Kardashian look. Kim has always been an inspiration to me and she's the most beautiful woman in the world in my eyes.
"I actually look like a completely different person now to before - I look Western, and some of my Korean family don't even recognise me anymore. I know when to stop and I'm not planning any more surgeries now - I have achieved the look I always wanted.
“I don't regret a single procedure and I'd do it all again the same - my only regret is why didn't I do it sooner."
Between 2019 and 2021, Cherri had three Brazilian butt lifts to get Kim's world-famous behind – but it still wasn’t big enough for her liking.
Between those years she also had a nose job, cheekbone surgery, a double chin reduction and two rounds of buccal fat removal, which thins the cheeks.
Now she says some people have mistaken her for Kim K from behind - leaving her feeling better than ever.
She added: "I don't think my facial features look like Kim K but the overall vibe is her. I do get people commenting from behind, thinking I can't hear them asking each other if I'm Kim. I get people saying I should be her body double.
"I love it when people stop and give me compliments but I hate it when guys ask for my number.
"That happened a few times when I was in London - it offends me when they think they stand a chance! Since seeing my transformation, my ex has been back in touch and said he wants me now - but I'm too good for him now and I'm getting a higher calibre of men approaching me.
"I have had a few negative reactions as well. Once a middle-aged lady looked at me and asked how much I charge per hour, suggesting I was a sex worker. I was out in public wearing a summer dress - it was plain rude.
"But I don't let it affect me. If you have nothing nice to say, jog on. Everybody should have the right to modify their body - do what you want, as long as you're not harming anyone.
"Now, I have a bigger pool of men approaching me.
"I've always been an attention seeker - it makes me feel sexy. I like random people giving me compliments.
"I think Kim is the most beautiful woman in my eyes and to be compared to her is amazing.”
