It is the most dangerous woman who approached the esthetic ideal of the Barbie doll and spent more time under the knife for that purpose. It takes 47 operations performed since 1988 and next year will enter the Guinness tapped as the female over the world. Cindy Jackson, however, says that in reality was only 19 surgeries under general anesthesia, two of them to correct poor performance. “Some operations covered more than one procedure at once, as a touch-up nose, liposuction, lip augmentation.” Also encouraged various cosmetic treatments “minor as permanent makeup, cosmetic dentistry or filler injections, which do not have, he says.

Born in Ohio and daughter of peasants, Cindy grew up in the shadow of an older sister is prettier than her. At 33 he received a family inheritance and began his transformation. After 47 operations has managed to remake his body. Itself has invested 120,000 euros and has become a real piece of living art.

Ken, the perfect guy

Since there is Barbie without Ken, also came a boy who dreams of being perfect. This is Miles Kendall, who to look like this character’s eyes got Tom Cruise, George Clooney’s lips and chin deRussell Crowe. In addition, there was a lift, a liposuction, a brow lift and nose operated.

According to his autobiography, Miles Kendall’s ambition was to be rich and successful. After 14 years she found another way of dance and at 32 he became a renowned web designer. However, wanted more. And this time it was radical: thus became the first man, in his words, to complete an extreme makeover with surgery and tell the world how to exploit specifying his desire for fame.

What reasons lead to these people to go so assiduously to cosmetic surgery? Cindy’s case continues to create awe in the world.

According to experts, when people feel too attracted by the changes get cosmetic surgery, and this behavior becomes obsessive it becomes a psychiatric pathology.

The problem is not that unusual. Cosmetic surgery is no longer the exclusive preserve of models and actresses and operations to improve the figure, breast augmentation or flatten the nose is becoming an increasingly common practice. In fact, men are increasingly encouraged to undergo surgery for cosmetic reasons. The global ranking prepared by the iSAPS said that 18.69% of men resorted to cosmetic surgery (ahead of Hong Kong leads with 35% of cases).

One of the conditions behind this cult of the image is the BDD, which is the rejection of a body part is perceived ugly, inadequate. This condition is a psychosis and should be treated as such.

Another type of surgery addiction arises not because of mental illness, but by an inappropriate way of viewing the body. The appearance was established as the center of life, establishing a relationship of idolatry and the main objective of the subject is to get the fullness, beauty, perfection.

Such diseases are, in principle, by the influence of cultural pressure that enhances the physical, but the problem occurs there must be a predisposition: immature individuals with neurotic tendencies.

The issue is that more changes are made, will never be compliant or, at the other end, will not achieve the happiness that supposedly comes with being beautiful and admired.

Cindy’s case says a lot. Despite the beauty who managed to tip of blade, has never build a relationship, living alone with her two cats and a residential area on the outskirts of London. It is a real Barbie who is afraid of aging. Ken may not have a very different future.

The woman of 21, who only identified himself as Xiaoqing, said he was devastated after finishing with her boyfriend, a passionate admirer of the star of films including “Fantastic Four” and “Into the Blue”.

Xiaoqing, who works at an Internet firm in Shanghai, said that during his 18-month relationship, her boyfriend of 28 years was so obsessed with Jessica that decorated the couple’s apartment with photos of actress and she spoke of her constantly.

Xiaoqing broke a month ago from her boyfriend, whom he declined to name because they could not continue to support his obsession with Alba. But now he says he can not overcome the separation and wants it back.

“When I finished with my boyfriend, I was very sad,” he told Reuters at the hospital of Shanghai Time Plastic Surgery, who agreed to help her fulfill her desire.

“My friends consoled me (…) but not work, so I suggested I do plastic surgery to look like her (Jessica Alba),” he added.

The hospital said Xiaoqing need to undergo numerous surgeries to alter their eyes and nose to resemble the features of Alba. They also agreed to operate freely exhibit their surgical skills.

The hospital director, Jiang Shan, said he spoke personally to suggest Xiaoqing think seriously about the procedure.

“But if you want to look like Jessica Alba completely, I think she lacks confidence in itself and that should solve this problem psychologically,” he added.

Xiaoqing said he would speak with his mother, who lives in Hubei province, when they visit your home during the Lunar New Year festival, before making the final decision
