The world of beauty is so bizarre! And some people are so obsessed with vanity that they get addicted to cosmetic surgeries. A popular model, who even modelled for Versace is hitting the headlines for her never ending tryst with surgeries.
Brazilian model and actress, Jennifer Pamplona is reported to have spent nearly USD 600,000 (INR 4,77,11,400) to look like reality TV star Kim Kardashian, and now she is not satisfied with the way she looks and has de-transitioned for USD 120,000 (INR 95,43,162) to get her old face back.
According to New York Times, the 29-year-old Brazilian model has undergone as many as 40 cosmetic surgeries in the last 12 years to become Kardashian’s look-alike. However, she eventually realized that her happiness was only skin deep.
“People would call me a Kardashian and it started to get annoying,” Jennifer said. “I had worked and studied and was a businesswoman. I had done all these things and had all these achievements in my personal life, but I was only being recognised because I looked like a Kardashian,” she told New York Times.
She is said to have undergone a painful ‘detransition’ surgery to reverse the changes caused by 40 surgeries done in the past.
She was all of 17, when she went under the knife for the first time. Soon after, she got addicted to getting the procedures and there was no looking back. “I discovered that I was addicted to surgery and I wasn't happy, I was putting filler in my face like I was in the supermarket," Jennifer told the newspaper.
"It was an addiction and I got into a cycle of surgery equals fame and money, I just lost control of everything. I went through a lot of hard times," she added.
She said it took her a while to understand that she had body dysmorphia and eventually wanted to look like her own self. She met a doctor in Istanbul who assured her to help her get back her real appearance.
"I had a face and neck lift, buccal fat removal, cat eye surgery, a lip lift and a nose job all at once," she said. "I went into the operation room as one person, and I came out as another,” she added.
The model is right now recovering now and has featured in a documentary on cosmetic surgery addiction.
"The best feeling is knowing I'm not in a fight with myself anymore. I am now who I wanted to be, and I really now understand the meaning of life,” she said.
