20 Extreme Plastic Surgery Journeys Of Normal People That Led To Fame

Mary is known for her extreme body modifications, including multiple breast enlargements, oversized lip fillers, and tattooed skin. Originally from Mexico, she has amassed over 200,000 followers on Instagram and gained notoriety through her striking appearance and content on OF, according to the Daily Mail.

While her fans were used to her extreme body modifications, some expressed a lot of concern when Mary revealed she had tattooed the whites of her eyes black. Mary has also opened up about the dangers of plastic surgery, stating that her addiction to cosmetic procedures almost got her k*lled.

Andrea Ivanova, a 22-year-old from Bulgaria, has undergone 17 cosmetic procedures in her quest to look like Barbie and achieve the world’s biggest lips. Since childhood, she’s been fixated on the doll-like aesthetic and has already received 17 lip injections, 15 of them with hyaluronic acid. 

Her lips are now reportedly three times larger than before, and she says she’ll continue the procedures whenever the volume starts to fade. Andrea insists her transformation is entirely her own, not inspired by any celebrity. “I like my lips now more than ever, I feel good and I am happy with them,” she said.

Hang Mioku was a South Korean model whose addiction to cosmetic procedures spiraled out of control. After doctors refused to operate further, she began injecting cooking oil into her face at home. The results were devastating, leaving her face permanently swollen and disfigured. Hang’s tragic story became national news in South Korea.

She had her first plastic surgery at 28, and she became obsessed with the procedure, according to the International Business Times. Surgeons later removed 60 grams of silicone, oil and other foreign substances from her face and 200 grams of substances from her neck, but a good amount of the damage she caused from her DIY treatments proved irreversible.

Pixee Fox, a Swedish model and influencer, stunned the world by removing six ribs to achieve a 14-inch waist inspired by Jessica Rabbit from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Tinkerbell from Disney’s Peter Pan, according to People magazine. Her surgeries include jaw contouring, elvish ear enhancements, and multiple breast augmentations. Reports have indicated that Pixee has had about 200 cosmetic procedures.

She calls herself “The Living Cartoon" and shares her transformation journey online. She currently has over 435,000 followers on Instagram, which features snaps from her daily life.

Anella calls herself the “first Polish Barbie.” She drew massive attention for her hyper-feminine appearance and bold cosmetic choices, which made her resemble the iconic toy. Anella had had several cosmetic procedures, such as lip augmentation and breast enhancement, according to a report from The Sun.

Interestingly enough, Anella stated that she was actually not planning on looking like a Barbie doll when she started changing her appearance. "It came about very spontaneously. It was not planned at all,” she told a local TV station. Despite her extreme looks, Anella told the publication that she still works full-time as an architect.

Sahar Tabar, whose real name is Fatemeh Khishvand, shocked the internet with images resembling a zombified Angelina Jolie. Though her viral fame was fueled by digital editing and filters, many assumed she’d undergone dozens of surgeries.

In reality, Tabar is believed to have done just a few cosmetic procedures, such as lip fillers and a nose job, according to Unilad. She was arrested by Iranian authorities in October 2019 as part of the government’s crackdown on social media influencers. She was later charged with blasphemy, inciting violence, gaining income through inappropriate means, and encouraging youth corruption.

Valeria Lukyanova, a Ukrainian model, gained international fame for her shockingly doll-like appearance. Her appearance is so notable that she was dubbed the “Human Barbie Doll.” Though she claims to have only undergone breast augmentation, Valeria uses extreme makeup, contact lenses, corseting, and strict dieting to maintain her surreal look.

According to All That Is Interesting, however, plastic surgeon Dr. Sam Rizk noted that she likely has had more work done. Also interesting was that in 2013, she met Human Ken Doll Justin Jedlica, who openly admits to all his cosmetic surgeries. Valeria noted that Justin’s approach was too extreme, since she claims her body is largely natural.
