A comment on one of my recent articles started me thinking about the extreme plastic surgeries some people choose to have.

I wanted to find out about surgeries I’d not heard of before. So far, my experience on this topic was limited to celebrities and everyday people with botox, breast or buttock implants, and liposuction.

However, some surgeries go far beyond slightly enhancing physical appearance, or trying to slow down the ageing process.

I was interested to learn more about the men and women who undergo surgery to achieve a more devil-like or elf-like appearance.

Women who choose surgeries to look more like Barbie pre and post the hit movie.

People who will spend a fortune to look like their favourite celebrity or a particular animal.

The extent to which these people will go and the amounts they will spend, ranging from thousands to £1 million, are truly astounding!
