STAR: I grew up in a little town in Staffordshire. My parents split up when I was about 12.
Once I left home, I knew I wanted to change the way I looked. I have spent over £100,000 on my face and my body,
and I just love the way I look.
STAR: I want to make my boobs bigger, bigger, bigger. I want to make my waist smaller, smaller, smaller.
I want to make my butt bigger, bigger, bigger.
COMM: Over the course of 10 years, 28-year-old Star has transformed her appearance
through multiple cosmetic procedures.
STAR: I have had boob jobs, numerous amounts of Botox, cheek implants, jaw and forehead contouring;
I have had liposuction, lip lift.
COMM: What has driven Star to enhance her body and what is it like to live with her exaggerated physique?
STAR: This is the only exercise machine really I can use at the moment. So I don’t have to hold my boobs on this.
Having lots of plastic surgery like myself, the boobs are a bit of a problem. Because I like to go on the treadmill
but I have to hold them because they just get out of hand. See that pulling is killing me already.
STAR: See if I just leave them, they're just bouncing everywhere. It’s going to cause sagging. I enjoy this one
because it makes your waist really small. If I do this for about a month, five days a week, an hour a day, my waist
will be tiny. I have had liposuction here. It gets a lot of loose skin there so always think twice how it’s going to
look. Probably, later on I will need a tummy tuck to pull the skin down. Well, I can try tightening it with exercise
but it restricts me having these bloody big boobs.
COMM: Star lives in Birmingham and has travelled the world in the pursuit of improving her appearance from
Mexico and Thailand to Spain and Poland. Soon she will be going to Turkey for surgery on her nose.
STAR: So this is my beauty room. I have got tons of makeup. I literally buy just tons of it. I have got everything
here. I just love glamour, I just like looking glamorous and I feel like, more confident when I have got makeup
on. The kind of family I came from was my dad was a Jehovah’s Witness, very strict. I was very depressed as a
child. I don’t know why. I had too much religious stuff in my life for a child that young, too many arguments, my
parents were arguing all the time as well. My parents split up when I was about 12, missed out a lot of my
schooling, back and forth to each of them. My dad used to say I looked my mom and then I used to hate that
because he used to say, 'Have you seen the state of your mom recently?' because of the divorce. You know,
parents slag each other off and they shouldn’t do that because it affects the child. I started to rebel at 16 and
17, getting arrested. I was drinking quite a lot, I was doing drugs, I was hanging around with the wrong
people. My mom had enough of me so she basically put me in a hostel. I went to do lap dancing. It was a club
scene what I was into at the time you know, people were doing coke, drinking, there were loads of naughty girls
there and beautiful girls. Once I had the surgery at 18, I saw my boobs change, I thought, ‘Wow!’
I just felt amazing. Just like, ‘Wow! ‘Look at me.’ You know, pornstar kind of look, Pamela Anderson in the 80s.
COMM: After becoming a lap dancer, Star went on to be a dominatrix and used the money she earned
to pay for more surgery.
STAR: The money was amazing. I mean we are going back 10 years ago. The money was a lot better than it
is now. Miss Madam Whiplash.. it’s just that.
COMM: But breaking away from her family and working in the sex industry took their toll on Star.
STAR: I feel very lonely and isolated a lot of the time but that’s just who I am. I keep myself to myself.
The key people in my life are the surgeons, the cosmetic places where I go and have my all my dermal fillers,
which is on a regular basis and then I have my little dog Tinker Bell, which is my pride and joy.
She is just like my fur baby. She is like my child.
I am going to Turkey to have a nose job because I feel in Turkey I am going to get exactly the results I really
require. I am going to have this little, this tip here is leaning to one side. So I am just going to shorten that.
We are just going to bring it a bit more flatter and then I am going to have it narrowed in.
That’s the Barbie that I take with me on holiday surgery trips.
STAR: A lot of people when I am out shopping sometimes, a little girl said to me,
‘Mummy, she looks like Barbie.’
INTERVIEWER: Is that the ultimate compliment?
STAR: Yeah! Of course, it is. That’s what I have had all this surgery for. That was the original that I wanted to
look like Barbie. But I am sort of off that now. I am sort of, sort of growing out of that.
INTERVIEWER: What do you think you are growing into? STAR: A monster!
COMM: The cost of plastic surgery in Turkey is considerably cheaper than the UK and the country has
become a hotspot for cosmetic surgery tourism. Star’s procedure is with Dr. Bora Ok.
DR.BORA OK: Welcome! STAR: Thank you!
DR.BORA OK: I am Doctor Ok. In the previous operation, they took a lot of cartilage, they didn’t give you a good
shape and we’ll try to fix it.
DR.BORA OK: Now our main objective is to make your tip look better and for that I look inside your nose for some
septal cartilage that we can use on the operation. If we can’t find any cartilage, we can take from ear, backside of
your ear then you don’t have any scars and your ear shape won’t change. I want to give a good defining with
good pass from tip area to your nasal dorsum and so I will see better in the operation. With secondary nose
jobs, there are more risks than first one and you can disturb the blood circulation, you can’t find enough
cartilage but with closed rhinoplasty approach, these risks will reduce.
I guess we will have good results with her operation.
COMM: Ahead of the surgery, Star shows less enthusiasm then she did back home.
STAR: Well, I feel a little bit nervous because last time I had my nose job and when they take the bandage off,
I didn’t want to look at my nose. So I just felt it, it felt really small and I just was like, got the mirror and I was
just like, ‘Shit!’
STAR: I am crazy. Aren’t I? I don’t think I am going to have any more surgery after this.
This is the final stage. Isn’t it?
STAR: I do feel a little bit lonely as well, got no one with me, which I couldn’t deal with it when I am on my own.
I don’t keep many people by my side and the reason behind that is because I don’t really trust people
and I don’t let people in.
DR.BORA OK: Hello! STAR: Hey!
DR.BORA OK: Operation went perfect. We had septal cartilage. We used them.
STAR: No ear? DR.BORA OK: No ear. No need. With previous operation,
you have so much scars. First I take all the stitches and additions. I clean cartilage and make new nasal tip.
STAR: Oh, good! Thank you. DR.BORA OK: You won’t have swelling.You won’t have
bruising. You see it will be very comfortable.
STAR: You are so gentle because… DR.BORA OK: Yes, I am so gentle.
INTERVIEWER: Is it sort of addictive?
STAR: Yeah! I am addicted to it. I am addicted. Because before I was addicted to drugs, spending tons of money,
alcohol but I don’t do any of that stuff now so I just do plastic surgery. After I have had surgery, I feel absolutely
incredible. It’s like antidepressants, euphoria of you. Give me two months, I'll be selfie-ready and I will be slaying.
