A South Korean woman has revealed she spent around $60,000 on surgeries to look like Kim Kardashian.
Cherri Lee said her family didn’t recognize her after she went under the knife 15 times to transform her body. She had multiple surgeries, including breast augmentation and three Brazilian butt lifts.
According to Lee, who is a school teacher, she had her first procedure in 2014, when she was 20 years old. Back then, her eyelids were modified to make them look larger.
In addition to the works to sculpt her butt and enlarge her breasts, the 28-year-old has also undergone cheekbone surgery, a nose job, chin reduction, a cheek-slimming procedure, and two rounds of buccal fat removal.
After eight years and dozens of surgeries, her body has an hourglass figure and her face matches her idol’s.
Speaking to the UK outlet Manchester Evening News, she said: “I always wanted the glamorous big boobs and big bum Kardashian look. Kim has always been an inspiration to me and she’s the most beautiful woman in the world in my eyes.”
Lee went on to say that she now looked like a completely different person, adding: “I look Western, and some of my Korean family don’t even recognize me anymore.”
“I don’t think my facial features look like Kim K, but the overall vibe is her,” she told the Manchester Evening News.
“I do get people commenting from behind, thinking I can’t hear them asking each other if I’m Kim. I get people saying I should be her body double,” she added.
Lee also clarified that she knew when to stop, saying she wasn’t planning any more surgeries for now because she had already achieved the look she had always wanted.
The school teacher also talked about how her body transformation has affected her personal and love life. She revealed that her ex had gotten back in touch, but now there was “a higher caliber of men” approaching her.
Lee also denied regretting any of her surgeries. “I’d do it all again the same – my only regret is why I didn’t do it sooner,” she stated.
