12 People Who Radically Changed Their Appearance

Body image, especially in adolescence, is often a cause for great concern. It is normal for a young person to not feel good because they think they are short, too fat, too thin or worse, have pimples, for example. But in some cases, this concern is no longer something relatively normal and turns into more serious problems.

There are a number of syndromes related to body perception. For example, dysmorphophobia, or image distortion syndrome, predominantly affects female adolescents. There is also the so-called “Barbie Syndrome”, the search for the body of the famous doll – there are several cases, as we will show below.

This issue has been a matter of concern for experts. The desire to fit the dolls’ standard of beauty causes eating disorders, anorexia and severe depression.

Venus Angelic spent most of her childhood in Switzerland, and traveled to other countries with her parents. As a teenager, she was very interested in Japanese youth culture, and the trip to the “Land of the Rising Sun” strengthened her interests. Venus literally became an anime heroine.

Now, the young woman lives in Japan, and feels fulfilled to be living the Japanese culture. She usually leaves the house with a neat look: makeup, contact lenses and, sometimes, even colored wigs. But she also often posts ‘natural’ photos on social media.

Of course, the number of followers of this 21-year-old cartoon character is increasing every day: there are already about 2 million! On the Internet, Venus not only shares makeup videos, Japanese product showcases or her everyday life with her boyfriend, but also different advice that she herself takes in her life. For example, how to learn several languages ​​at the same time, since she has mastered 7 languages.

Here we have a case opposite to that of Venus. A Japanese woman known by the pseudonym Vanilla Chamu wanted to look European. And she didn’t just wear makeup or change her hair color.

Vanilla has spent more than $100,000 on dozens of cosmetic procedures to get closer to her ideal appearance every day. Her goal is to look like a porcelain doll. Thanks to the efforts of specialists, this young Japanese woman became unrecognizable after having changed her nose, eyelids, cheekbones, lips, chin and also having breast implants. And Vanilla doesn’t plan to stop plastic surgery to further transform her body.

Upon reaching adulthood, the young man began to actively seek the help of plastic surgeons. He has already performed a dozen operations. “Human Ken” had several rhinoplasties (nose correction) and liposuctions, and he also placed silicone implants in his chest, calf and arms. It seems that Mauricio’s determination to look as close as possible to Ken knows no bounds. He didn’t even feel afraid of the risks that the procedure of extracting some ribs would cause him according to the doctors’ warning. Maurício is an actor and marketing specialist.

The ‘doll making’ process started a few years ago when Alina saw a doll with big eyes called BJD. And the first step to start the transformations was the acquisition of special contact lenses.
