A SURGERY fan has revealed that she spent over £74,000 on a mission to look like a real life ‘Superhero.’
But Leslie Luxx, who is from Venice Beach, California, has left people stunned after showing off her “before” pictures.
Revealing all to Truly, on an episode of Hooked on the Look, the content creator opened up on transforming herself into the girl of her own dreams.
Growing up as a massive anime fan, Leslie has always been envious of the female characters who are “very voluptuous and very beautiful”.
She said: “I’ve spent $100,000 [£74,475] on surgery to look like a real life Superhero.
“Cosplay inspired me to get plastic surgery and I want to be big and curvy. If I could be the biggest, I would be the biggest.”

The Instagram model has spent the last three and a half years having “constant surgeries,” which include a rhinoplasty, lipo BBL, butt implants and two breast augmentations.
Not only this, but she even had her ribs broken to get a smaller waist.
The influencer, who has 3.2 million followers on social media, got candid on the pressure to change her appearance.
She explained: “When I see models and girls getting plastic surgery on Instagram, I feel like I have to keep getting it to stay beautiful and sexy and stay at the top.
“I feel very pressured to get plastic surgery because of the industry that I’m in. There’s always a new look and somebody with more curves.
“I want to be extremely pretty and I want to be extremely relevant.”
But Leslie’s obsession with getting bigger has raised concerns amongst her family and friends, especially her boyfriend, Michael.
He acknowledged: “I love Leslie’s look because she changes every day almost. It’s like having a new girl every day.
“I’m supportive of her fulfilling her goals. But on the other side, it’s like a paradox.”
When I go out, they either laugh at me or they really stare at me

Leslie, who opened up on her desire to be “perfect,” also recognised the judgement she faces from trolls and her desire to continue altering her body.
She admitted: “Yes, I believe I have body dysmorphia. I want bigger, bigger, bigger all the time.
“People tend to judge me all the time – they start labelling you more, they don’t treat you as a human as much.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT’S important to do your research if you’re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

“When I go out, they either laugh at me or they really stare at me
“When I first started Instagram, the way I dealt with horrible comments and stuff like that, it was affecting me. I cried. It was hurtful.
“But then I realised, who cares? Some people can’t even afford it, so why are you even talking about me?”
Social media users gasp
YouTube users were left stunned by Leslie’s unique look, but many were equally as open-mouthed by her ‘before’ photos.
One person said: “How sad.. she wants to look pretty, yet she’s paying to look horrible.”
The irony here is that she was extremely beautiful before she had any work done

Another added: “Wonder woman? More like I wonder what happened to this woman.”
A third commented: “She looked so much better before.”
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “Sad part is she was actually very pretty prior to surgery. She needs mental health care, not more surgery.”
At the same time, another wrote: “The irony here is that she was extremely beautiful before she had any work done.”
