Versace Model Who Spent $600k On Cosmetic Procedures To Transform Into Kim Kardashian Look-alike, Shows Regret After Spending $120k And Almost Dying To ‘Detransition’ To Her Original Looks
Jennifer Pamplona, A former Versace model who has went extra mile to transform herself into Kim Kardashian look-alike, which cost nearly $600k on surgeries has now folked out $120k to change back to original looks.
Jennifer, 29, had in her 12 years quest to emulate Kim Kardashian done more than 40 cosmetic procedures, before realizing her happiness was only skin deep.
“People would call me a Kardashian and it started to get annoying,” the Brazilian-born beauty told Caters. “I had worked and studied and was a businesswoman. I had done all these things and had all these achievements in my personal life, but I was only being recognized because I looked like a Kardashian.
Pamplona first went under the knife in 2010 when she was 17. At the time, Kardashian was just becoming a household name. After her first surgery, Pamplona quickly became addicted to operations that would make her look like Kim.
Among her more than 40 procedures were three rhinoplasties and eight operations on her bottom, including butt implants and fat injections, to emulate Kardashian’s supersized booty.
Her transformation into Kardashian’s lookalikes quickly helped her gather international attention, and she was even profiled in The Post.
The model also attained upward of 1 million Instagram followers but happiness did not follow.
“I discovered that I was addicted to surgery and I wasn’t happy, I was putting filler in my face like I was in the supermarket,” Pamplona admitted. “It was an addiction and I got into a cycle of surgery equals fame and money, I just lost control of everything. I went through a lot of hard times.”
However after years of upset, Pamplona said she realized she was suffering from body dysmorphia and wanted to return to her real looks.
She tracked down a doctor in Istanbul who said he could help her revert to her original appearance.
Pamplona suffered complications during the “detransition” surgery, saying she was “bleeding from her cheeks” for three days after developing an infection.
“I thought I was dying,” she explained. “I was thinking to myself, ‘What the hell have I done with my life?’
