Hell-o internet - welcome to Most Amazing Top 5 - today,
we’re going to be covering 5 Teenagers Who Turned Themselves Into Plastic.

in the box down below.
You know how much we appreciate it.
Now - in all seriousness, recent years have seen a /huge/ spike in the numbers of teenagers
getting plastic surgery.
And - according to the New York Daily, a report suggests that approximately 64’000 teens
undergo at least some form of cosmetic surgery per year.
This shocking statistic highlights an ever-increasing interest - particularly among young women
- to alter their physical appearance at a young age.
Don’t get me wrong - in some cases, plastic surgery is a life saver.
Actually, as a little kid - I split my lip from *here, to here* - and without plastic
surgery, well - the doctor’s wouldn’t have been able to repair it.
So, there you go - that’s one for you.
I’m part of the title - Content.
Kicking it off at Number 5 - we have - Farrah Abraham.
Farrah, who is famous for her volatile outbursts, is a long standing member of MTV’s hit-show
- Teen Mom.
In January of 2015, Farrah undertook surgery to plump up her pout with a lip injection
- but things swiftly went wrong.
After a doctor injected her lips with a numbing product, her top lip reportedly /tripled/
in size, after suffering an unforeseen allergic reaction.
Farrah explained that she was grateful for her life, and went on to say, ‘as soon as
he touched my lip - I was having an allergic reaction right away.
- I’m just super happy that I’m alive.’
She later told Twitter that the experience hadn’t scared her away from future procedures.
*Well, it didn’t scare me - either.*
Coming in at Number 4 - we have the unfortunate story of Kelli Johnson.
The modelling industry is - I’m going to say it - pretty crazy.
There is a huge amount of pressure on young models to look a certain way.
And that’s exactly what happened to Kelli, who had been modelling since she was just
10 years old.
At the age of 16 - Kelli was told by a photographer that she’d never make it in the industry
without a nose job.
Sadly - she took his advice.
Immediately after the surgery, Kelli knew that something was wrong.
Her fears were later verified when she found a piece of cartilage sticking out of her nose.
The doctor explained to her that it was swelling, but sadly - the damage was already done.
A year later, the doctor offered to fix the damage for free - and Kelli accepted.
At first, his repair seemed to have slightly worked - but a week or two later, Kelli’s
nose started leaning to the left.
Sadly - Kelli gave up her modelling career.
Next up at Number 3 - we have the bizarre story of Sahar Tabar.
Now - there’s a lot of twists and turns with this tale, so stick with me.
In 2017 - Sahar, a 19-year-old teenager from Iran - shocked Instagram with her bizarre
series of selfies.
Sahar claimed that she had undertaken over 50 surgeries to look exactly like her idol
- Angelina Jolie.
The 19 year old had also stated that she’d been on a strict diet, bringing her weight
down to just 40kg - which is critically unhealthy - just to took like Angelina.
The post went viral, and took the internet by storm.
Many took to Instagram, branding her a zombie - and saying that her transformation was borderline
insanity.
She’d even started wearing blue contact lenses - just to mimic Angelina’s eyes.
But - this is where things get interesting.
Not everyone was convinced by Sahar’s story.
They doubted whether Sahar had /actually/ undertaken the surgeries, with some studying
her Instagram posts and claiming that she had clearly photoshopped them.
And - well - later the same year, it turned out she’d done exactly that.
Sahar told the press that she’d done the whole thing to amuse herself.
She said, “I can see that I have something in common with Angelina Jolie - but I amuse
myself - and to look like someone is not my goal.”
Well, you had everyone fooled for a pretty long time Sahar.
Good job.
Bringing it in at Number 2 - we have the story of the *2nd* human ken-doll - how is there
two?
- Celso Santebanes.
Celso, a Brazilian teenager who was 20 at the time, lived his entire life with a passion
for dolls and puppets.
At the age of 16, Celso won a local modelling contest - and it started in him a desire to
look like Mattel’s iconic childs toy - the Ken Doll.
Over a 4 year period, Celso spent a staggering 40 thousand dollars on plastic surgery, all
to turn himself into a human version of Barbie’s boyfriend.
He had four operations on his nose, chin and jaw - as well as silicone implants in his
chest.
Celso was a doll enthusiast since he was a young boy, and claimed that his family had
always told him that he looked like a doll - which inspired him to become a ‘human
puppet.’
Sadly - shortly after launching his own line of Celso Dolls - the Ken Doll look alike fell
tragically ill.
He was diagnosed with cancer after treating infections caused by hydrogel fillers injected
into his legs.
He passed away in June 2015.
And finally - at the Number 1 spot - we have Mauricio Galdi.
Born in 1988 - originally in Italy - Mauricio Galdi is a Brazilian actor and TV host - who
claimed to be the /Original/ Brazilian Ken Doll.
How are there so many Ken Dolls?
There’s like 12 in Brazil alone.
Again - similar to Celso’s story - Mauricio claims that his obsession with being a doll
began in his early childhood.
At the early age of 17, Mauricio began a series of surgeries that would eventually lead him
to become the Brazilian human Ken.
Over the past ten years, Mauricio has claimed to have had only 15 surgeries.
These include chest implants, arm implants, four nose jobs and liposuction - and he says
that he isn’t insecure about his appearance.
Well, you do you bud.
In 2016, he controversially ignored doctor’s warnings to not have /two ribs/ removed - which
they warned would be far too dangerous to perform.
Instead, he went ahead with the gruesome surgery - all in the pursuit to resemble his beloved
plastic doll.
Interesting.
