Nileen Namita, a 49-year-old artist and mother of three from England,
underwent 51 cosmetic surgeries to achieve her dream of looking like
Queen Nefertiti. Spurred by her belief that she was Nefertiti, the
sun-worshipping wife of Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten -- Namita has spanned
more than 20 years and paid
around £200,000 (approximately $360,000).
The 51 surgeries, including eight nose jobs and three facelifts, have
all been on her face, and there are additional nose and lip tweaks on
the horizon.

The mother who had surgery just to look like her daughter
If you look to this picture you might think that Janet and Jane Cunliffe
are twins. But they are not, they aren't even sisters. They are mother
and daughter! Janet spent more than $13,000 on plastic surgery in a
desperate effort to bridge the 22-year age gap between herself and her
daughter. They now have flowing blonde hair, hourglass figures and
slender, toned legs. Mother and daughter both weigh in at 8st and,
except for a couple of inches in height (at 5ft 6in, Jane is two inches
taller) and different eye colors (Jane's are brown, Janet's are blue)
they are virtually identical.

The twin sisters who paid £60,000 on surgery to look completely identical
Some identical twins do everything in tandem, from coming down with
chickenpox to donning tutus for ballet lessons. But Jo and Kerry Burton
have taken this fact to a whole new level. When Jo decided to have
cosmetic surgery on her nose, Kerry followed suit. And since that day,
the sisters have spent £60,000 on a host of operations - all carried out
at the same time by the same doctors - to ensure they cannot be told
apart. They even had to have their initials written on their bellies so
the surgeon knew who was who. At age 34, they both have had a breast
enlargement, eye-lift, permanent make-up tattoos and Botox jabs.

The Octuplet's mom who wanted to look like Angelina Jolie
Nadya Suleman, the woman who recently gave birth to octuplets, is said
to be morphing into Angelina Jolie. According to plastic surgeon Dr.
Anthony Youn, the similarities between Nadya and Angelina are uncanny,
their brows are almost identical, and they both have nice smooth
foreheads. Youn, who obviously has not treated Suleman, said the megamom
appears to have undergone surgical procedures, including lip
augmentation and rhinoplasty, which make her resemble Jolie. The
similarities are more than skin deep. Both Suleman and Jolie are 33.
Both are raising large broods of children (Angie's is only up to six,
but she says it's still growing.)
Suleman denied speculation that she had plastic surgery to look like the Oscar winner.

The woman who underwent plastic surgery to look like her husband's ex wife
A man in China has convinced his new wife to undergo plastic surgery so
she could resemble his dead first wife. Zhao Gang, 32, from Chongqing
city, China, lost his first wife in a car accident three years ago and
now wants his new wife to look exactly like the dead one.
Zhao
said he only got married because his new bride looks a bit like her and
he wanted to have a chance to make up for his mistakes. Now, he wants
his new bride to undergo plastic surgery so she would really resemble
his dead wife. Fortunately for him, his second wife agreed to his
suggestion. His unidentified wife told the newspaper, “I feel
conflicted. I don't want to become another's shadow, but I also don't
want to lose the family. Now I only hope the surgery will not make me
look ugly.” Zhao said, “Maybe it's more or less unfair to her, but she
has agreed and I will embrace her with all my love.”

The woman who beat the world record for most plastic surgeries to become a real-life Barbie
Former Bunny Girl Sarah Burge spent half a million pounds turning
herself into a real-life Barbie doll. The 49-year-old housewife and
beautician from St Neots, in Cambridgeshire has spent £539,500
transforming herself – breaking the world record previously held by
American Cindy Jackson, who also wanted to be like the famous doll.
The
half-million pound costs include: £32,000 to have her whole face
lasered to remove a layer of skin to give it a more youthful look;
£26,500 on perfecting her bust – including having it reduced and the
nipples moved; £30,000 on keeping her jawline firm; nearly £15,000 on
her tummy; and £14,000 on keeping her bottom pert. The mother-of-three
has undergone more than 100 surgical and cosmetic treatments. Her

surgery on her face after being beaten up and left for dead.

The dying woman who spent £40,000 on plastic surgery to look like Demi Moore
A woman with an inoperable brain tumor is spending £40,000 on plastic
surgery – so she can die looking like movie star Demi Moore. Lisa
Connell, 29, will use the money her mom Angela had saved up for Lisa's
wedding to pay for her new look.
Despite being a stunning
brunette, Lisa has never been happy with her appearance and is convinced
the surgery will make her look as beautiful as Demi, who is no stranger
to cosmetic surgery herself. In a race against time, Lisa will undergo
liposuction, a breast enhancement and eyebrow lift, plus extra work on
her skin and teeth to fulfill her dream.
Lisa was just 27 when she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor known as meningioma.

The security guard who spent £3,500 so he could look like the DEVIL
Gavin Paslow, a 39-year-old security guard, spent £3,552 to fund
operations to give himself a fangs, a forked tongue and horns. Paslow,
who has changed his name to Diablo Delenfer, or devil from the inferno -
carried out 'body modifications' to look more like Lucifer.
His
transformation began with his bizarre 'budding horns' - two domed
implants made from hard Teflon on either side of his forehead. The
£200-a-piece operations, carried out by a specialist in Manchester, were
done without anesthetic in early 2008 - and took a total of five hours.
The same cosmetic surgeon carried out a further procedure, also without
anesthetic, to 'fork' his tongue - which involved slicing it down the
middle with a scalpel. He later had a final operation to make his ears
pointed at the tips. The fangs were achieved by grinding down his canine
teeth and attaching £560 permanent ceramic crowns to each one. He
also has 29 tattoos covering most of his upper body. To finish off his
demonic look, Paslow wears green lizard-style contact lenses and, on
special occasions, a long undertakers' tail coat combined with a frilly
shirt.
The divorced father-of-two said his body is a work in
progress and that he is not satanic but rather addicted to body
modification.
