Cosmetic surgery is an industry that thrives on insecurity.
Many of the people that undergo such procedures don't have any
deformities, they just aren't happy with who they are and they believe
modifying their body will change that. In some truly bizarre cases,
plastic surgery patients actually ask for deformities because it gives
them a sense of identity.
Here are some people that took the limits of plastic surgery to the
extreme and became someone (or something) else entirely because of it.
Warning: most of this is pretty ridiculous.
1.) The Lizard Man.
Erik Sprague is a freak-show performer
known to the world as "The Lizard Man" because, well, isn't it obvious?
Sprague has five Teflon horns that were implanted on his brow to create a
snake like hood over his eyes, four sharpened teeth, a forked tongue
and green inked lips on top of the tattoos that completely cover his
body.
2.) The Living Sex Doll.
Katella Dash was born a male, but now
strives to look as much like a female blow up doll as possible. That's
not an insult; those are her exact words. When discussing the fact that
she spent almost $100,000 she has spent on breast surgery alone, she
says she digs the sex doll look because "it's about as fake a person as
you can be." Ok then...
3.) Stalking Cat.
Dennis Avner still currently holds the
world record for most body modifications. Avner's alterations include
full body and face tattoos, subdermal implants that shape the face, brow
and bridge of his nose to him look more cat like, sharpening of the
teeth, elongated ears, and painful looking upper lip piercings that look
like whiskers. He even wore a robotic tail at times to complete the
facade.
4.) The Real Life Anime Girl.
Anastasiya Shpagina currently just uses
make-up and regular exercise to achieve the Sailor Moon she has
perfected, but she hopes to one day get a surgical procedure done in her
eyes and waist so that she looks like this permanently. She says this
is actually a very common procedure in Japan.
5.) The Woman Who Gave Her Eight Year Old Daughter $12,935 In Plastic Surgery Vouchers.
Sarah Burge is known for having hundreds of
plastic surgery procedures done. As this is her one claim to fame, she
felt it was fitting to give her eight year old daughter almost a car's
worth of money for body modifications. Burge is quick to point out that
the vouchers don't work until she's 18, but that kinda of makes that an
even crappier present, right?
6.) The Human Ken Doll.
To achieve this plastic look, Justin
Jedlica had to undergo hinoplasty, chest implants, shoulder implants,
bicep implants, calf implants and various facelifts.
7.) The Bloodiest Facial.
Bar Refaeli is a supermodel who paid an
unholy amount of money for a bizarre facial treatment that involved
getting getting stabbed over 300 times over the course of several hours.
Beauty hurts I guess.
If I had to look like a lizard man, I would only do it if it came
with lizard superpowers as well. Having a super stretchy tongue and the
power to climb up walls would be worth all of the pain of the
unnecessary surgery.
Bottom line? Save money and learn to love the body you were born with. It's just not worth the empty bank account.
