Over the years, plastic surgery has grown immensely in popularity.
With outrageous beauty standards only tightening their grip on society, the sad reality is that more and more people feel the need to artificially alter their bodies in order to feel ‘beautiful’.
Even though we are all beautiful in our own ways, we have made a list of 30+ individuals who we believe took plastic surgery too far. Some have even spent over a million dollars on their crazy transformations. Can you guess which ones?
Victoria Wild
Victoria Wild grew up as a simple, beautiful girl from a small town in France. Around the age of 25, she discovered plastic surgery, which developed into her biggest obsession. Over the years, she has spent close to $50,000 on various surgeries in an attempt to look like a real-life doll.
Wild earned her business degree before realizing that she could make more money in a different industry. She now works as a promo girl and model, bringing in more than enough to support her and her surgery addiction.
Pixee Fox
Pixee Fox is a model who has aspirations of looking as much like Jessica Rabbit as possible. To achieve her goal, she has had a total of eight surgeries — including four boob jobs, liposuction, jaw reconstruction, and, possibly worst of all, the removal of six ribs.

Rib removal is an incredibly high-risk procedure, which is why very few plastic surgeons would actually agree to perform it. However, like most people on our list, Pixee has never been overly concerned when it comes to the possible consequences.
Celso Santebanes, the Brazilian Ken Doll
When it comes to male fashion icons, you don’t get much better than Ken from Barbie. For this reason, it’s no surprise that Celso Santebanes decided to model his entire aesthetic of the doll. He began his transformation at the age of 16 and had spent a total of $39,000 on the process.

Santebanes had big plans for his future but sadly passed away from leukemia in 2015. His parents say that he was never truly satisfied with the way he looked and that he wouldn’t have stopped with plastic surgery until he looked as much like a doll as possible.
The Human Feline
Dennis Avner was just a regular-looking man for the majority of his life. However, after returning home from the navy, he made a few major life decisions, including one to completely transform his appearance into that of a tiger.

He began modifying his face with tattoos and various implants and piercings. This included splitting his upper lip, septum relocation, and having a robotic tail implanted. Mark sadly passed away in 2014, but he’s known as a legend in the furry community.
Herbert Chavez
Most people strive to look like celebrities or models. However, Herbert Chavez made it his goal to look like the real-life version of Superman. As a result, he has undergone a total of 26 surgeries — including multiple nose jobs, liposuction, and jaw implants. We admit that he does sort of look like Clark Kent.

However, instead of being known as the Man of Steel, he’s referred to in the media as the Man of Plastic, which we find very fitting. Like a lot of the people on our list, Herbert is still not satisfied with his appearance and is planning more surgeries in the near future.
Lacey Wildd
Lacey Wildd is yet another famous face who started her following after appearing on the series Botched in 2014. She’s a mother of six who has undergone multiple breast augmentations in order to achieve what she thinks are the ‘perfect breasts.’

She’s still not happy with her cup size and wants to undergo even more procedures. However, doctors have warned her against this, as there are dangers for her to consider. Even her children have spoken out about their concern for their mother and her well-being.
The Britney Spears Lookalike
Brian Ray was a 16-year-old boy who was obsessed with Britney Spears. In fact, he was so obsessed that he decided to undergo cosmetic surgery in order to look just like her. Many years later, it’s safe to say that he has achieved his goal.

In total, Ray has had over 90 surgeries — including nose jobs, lip filler injections, veneers, botox, and fat injections. Similarly to a lot of people on our list, he is still not satisfied with his final look and plans to undergo even more procedures in the future.
The Vampire Woman
María José Cristerna is a former lawyer from Guadalajara, Mexico. She gained the courage to undergo her first body modification after leaving her husband. Since then, she has become hardly recognizable and is known as the woman with the most tattoos and piercings.

She’s even referred to as the Mexican Vampire Woman, as she has large fang-like teeth, as well as skull implants. She currently owns her very own tattoo parlor and is more than happy with her unique look.
The Real-Life Barbie
Men often strive to look like Ken, while women want nothing more than to look like Barbie. Valeria Lukyanova was born to Moldovan parents and grew up obsessed with Barbie (like most little girls). In fact, when she was younger, she made it her goal to collect as many Barbie dolls as possible, obtaining a collection of over 100!

However, her affection carried over into adulthood, and she began to undergo surgeries to look more like her favorite doll. Today, she says she is done with plastic surgery, as she’s happy with her current look.
Ted Richards
Ted Richards has a deep love for parrots. So much so that he even undergoes frequent surgeries in order to look like one. In fact, he even risked going blind by having his eyeballs tattooed. Luckily, the procedure was successful, and Richards now has one blue eyeball and one orange eyeball.

More so, he permanently impaired his hearing by having his ears cut off. Richards has a pet bird that goes with him everywhere. Despite warnings from doctors, he refuses to stop altering his body. We know that it’s his body, but we can’t help but wonder what type of doctor would actually perform surgeries that will go on to impair their patient!
Sahar Tabar
Sahar Tabar is an Iranian influencer who has gained popularity for trying to look like Angelina Jolie. Even though she has undergone multiple plastic surgeries, people have now realized that she also uses Photoshop to edit her images.

We can’t say that she looks much like Angelina, but to each their own. In 2019, she was arrested for illegally obtaining money and instigating violence, which put an end to her socialite career.
Twins With Identical Surgeries
Emma and Sarah Koponen are identical twins from Sweden. They currently work as ringside girls and draw their inspiration from models and celebrities with wide hips, small waists, and large breasts, such as the Kardashians.
(Left) Daily Mail | (Right) Facebook // Sara and Emma Koponen
They have both had about $25,000 worth of cosmetic procedures done. However, since they wish to remain identical, they each undergo the exact same surgeries every time. This includes lip fillers, veneers, breast augmentations, and nose jobs.
The Real-Life Jessica Rabbit
Penny Brown works in the fetish model industry, meaning that she has to fit a certain type of look to make her money. In 2014, she first began corset training, which entails wearing a tight corset every day to reshape the waist.
Brown draws her inspiration from Jessica Rabbit. In an attempt to improve her look even more, she has had multiple breast augmentation surgeries, increasing her cup size to a whopping O.
Another Kim Kardashian Wannabe
We already know that Kim Kardashian is a fashion icon. For this reason, it’s no surprise that Claire Leeson — a plastic surgery addict from Essex, England — chose the socialite as her style inspiration.
Leeson has spent roughly $ 23,000 on breast augmentations, butt lifts, and facial fillers in order to look exactly the same as Kim. However, she has admitted that she regrets her decisions, as nobody takes her seriously anymore.
Plastic Surgery as Art
Mireille Suzanne Francette Porte was born in 1947. She has become relatively well-known for her performance art, in which she uses plastic surgery to challenge the everyday beauty standards that plague women.

Porte once completely changed her face to look like a giraffe. This ‘performance’ included numerous facial implants, fillers, and piercings. She admits that she does not undergo these procedures to look beautiful but rather to make a statement.
The Justin Bieber Lookalike
Back in 2012, just about every young boy out there wanted to look like Justin Bieber. Toby Sheldon was one of those people. Unlike most other fans, he took his obsession to the next level by undergoing multiple surgeries to look exactly like the Canadian pop star.
Toby underwent multiple lip surgeries and even had six hair transplants, which were incredibly expensive. However, he sadly passed away before he was able to achieve his final look. We can’t imagine what else he would have done!
Madonna 2.0
Venus D Lite, or Adam Guerra, was a fan-favorite on season 3 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. Even though he didn’t make it very far in the competition, he was so memorable because of the fact that he looked exactly like Madonna.

In order to achieve this look, he underwent 18 procedures, which cost him a whopping $200,000. He also spent an additional $100,000 on recreating Madonna costumes. Imagine spending so much money on your appearance and still being one of the first eliminated on RuPaul’s Drag Race!
Everybody Wants to Look Like Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt has been a Hollywood heartthrob for many years. For this reason, it’s no surprise that these twins decided to spend thousands of dollars in order to look exactly like him.
(Top) MTV | (Bottom) YouTube
Mike and Matt Schlepp underwent facial reconstruction surgeries, had lip fillers done, and spent a small fortune on veneers. In the end, they clearly achieved their goal of looking like the actor, as they were featured on an episode of MTV’s I Want A Famous Face.
The Ryan Gosling Lookalike
A lot of the time, people who use plastic surgery in order to look a certain way end up disappointed with the end results. This is the case for Nicolas Ryan, an actor who thought that he could land more roles if he looked more like Ryan Gosling.
(Left) Vibe | (Right) Daily Mail
He underwent multiple surgeries in order to change up his look — but as you can see, the results aren’t exactly brilliant. He probably spent thousands of dollars on these cosmetic procedures, but surgery isn’t always the answer.
Inspired by Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is an inspiration to millions of people around the world. She’s also a fashion icon who has created a multitude of memorable looks throughout her time in the spotlight.

Donna Trego is arguably Lady Gaga’s biggest fan, having spent over $60,000 trying to imitate the singer’s look. She has attended dozens of Gaga’s shows over the years, and even puts on a tribute act from time to time.
Lindsey Lohan’s Half-Sister
Lindsey Lohan is an iconic actress. She has starred in a number of blockbusters, including The Parent Trap and Mean Girls. She’s undoubtedly beautiful, which is why her half-sister, Ashley Horn, has made it her life goal to look as much like Lindsey as possible.

Ashley has had a total of five different procedures — including a nose job, check and jawline refinement, and fat injections. She has spent $25,000 on her project to transform her appearance.
Not the Results She Wanted
Jennifer Lawrence rose to fame after starring as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movie franchise. She’s known for her natural beauty, and many women around the world strive to achieve her look.
ABC News
This includes a girl by the name of Kitty, who underwent multiple procedures in order to look as much like Jennifer as possible. Unfortunately, she didn’t achieve the results that she wanted, but it still cost her thousands of dollars.
The Real Life Hulk
Romario Dos Santos Alves wanted to transform himself into the real-life Hulk. This is probably one of the most challenging looks to achieve on our list, as the Hulk is a CGI character. However, he was determined that nothing would stop him.
Irish Mirror
Alves had numerous arm injections in order to make his muscles appear bigger. These types of injections are incredibly dangerous, which is why he almost lost an arm. However, everything turned out okay in the end… though he’s still on his mission to transform his body.
The Kate Winslet Wannabe
There are a lot of natural celebrity lookalikes out there. One day, a woman by the name of Deborah Davenport was flipping through a magazine when she saw an image of Kate Winslet. She thought that she looked just like the Titanic actress.
Daily Mail
Afterward, she made it her mission to look even more like the actress through plastic surgery and Botox. We admit that she does resemble Winslet, but she was beautiful before going under the knife.
Ricky Martin’s Biggest Fan
Ricky Martin is considered to be one of the most handsome men alive. His fans absolutely adore him. This includes Fran Mariano — a superfan who wants to look exactly like the singer.

Fran has spent thousands of dollars on facial reconstruction surgeries, including defining his jawline and liposuction. Jaw reconstruction surgery is one of the most painful procedures, so we commend Fran for his commitment to the cause.
Inspired by Demi Moore
Lisa Connell had always been a massive Demi Moore fan, but she took things a step further after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. She decided to spend all of her life savings on transforming herself into her idol’s lookalike.
Facebook // Lisa Connell
This included liposuction, breast augmentation, implants, and an eyebrow lift. Demi Moore heard about the transformation and publicly asked Lisa to put the procedures behind her, as she is beautiful as is.
Everybody Wants to Look Like Angelina Jolie
Just as most men want to look like Brad Pitt, most women want to look like Angelina Jolie. Angelina has always been considered one of the most beautiful women in the world, which is why it’s no surprise that Chelsea Marr decided to spend thousands of dollars on transforming herself into the actress’s lookalike.
Marr naturally looks like Jolie, so she didn’t actually have to do much to her appearance to achieve her goal. In fact, besides a few lip fillers and Botox, she has never had any sort of invasive surgery performed.
Kylie Jenner 2.0
Kylie Jenner is considered one of the world’s most influential fashion icons right now. Her appearance has changed drastically since she was a child, and many women want to emulate her looks. This includes Amira Boualleg, who has always closely resembled the reality star.
Anna Krith’s Lifestyle
However, once she turned 18, she took things a step further and started getting lip fillers and facial injections, just like Kylie. Additionally, like her celebrity idol, Amira is very passionate about cosmetics and hopes to open her own makeup brand when she is older.
The Transformation Jessica Alba Stopped
Jessica Alba is another actress who has been in the spotlight for many years. One superfan, Xiaoqing, was so obsessed with Alba’s natural beauty that she decided to undergo an extreme face and body transformation to look as much like the actress as possible.

However, when Alba found out about the young girl’s aspirations to look just like her, she quickly approached her and asked her to stop. She wanted Xiaoqing to know that she’s beautiful just the way that she is and that she doesn’t need any plastic surgery. Xiaoqing ended up not going through with some of the more invasive procedures but still went for lip fillers and facial injections.
The Amy Winehouse Impersonator
This woman naturally looks like Amy Winehouse, but she took it a step further by undergoing several invasive plastic surgery procedures to imitate the late singer’s distinctive look. This includes breast augmentation surgery and liposuction.
She also does the classic beehive hairstyle and winged eyeliner look every single day. We doubt that she has a voice like Amy’s, but that’s about the only thing that we could use to tell the two apart!
