Celebrities who destroyed their faces with plastic surgery: the worst cases of addicts to the scalpel
Prepare to suffer nightmares with the 10 worst cases of plastic surgery addicts. Actresses such as Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry or Gwyneth Paltrow have explained that Hollywood stars retouch their faces to extend their working life: that way they can spend 10 more years embodying leading characters, "before they only offer you the roles of mother or grandmother" . But what happens if the surgeon messes up, or if the patient “misses” operations? The result ranges from the embarrassing to the terrifying. And luckily, Nicole, Gwyneth, and Halle didn't go that far. But there are others who do, and here we present them to you: 10 famous people who lose their faces. Not out of shame, but literally.
1- Jocelyn Wildenstein: the "Cat Woman" of plastic surgery
She was born in Switzerland in 1940, with the name of Jocelyn Perisset, and was a model and actress with a feline look and meowing beauty, who starred in an erotic comedy in France: "Servez-vous mesdames" (forbidden to minors under 18). She had affairs with several producers, but her life changed during a safari in Africa. She where she met, while hunting lions, the French billionaire Alec Wildenstein: art dealer... and cat fanatic. And they say that, out of love, Jocelyn decided to become one.
Young Jocelyn began her "transformation of her" with collagen injections into her lips, cheekbones, and forehead. The work was not quite good and she had to go under the knife to correct the mistakes. She then got chin and cheek implants, and had a brow lift to enhance her "catlike" look. But due to the effect of the previous interventions, her face did not respond to that operation as everyone expected.
Jocelyn's face became a lifeless mask, and successive attempts to fix it in the OR only made it worse. The media then renamed her "The Bride of Wildenstein", alluding to Frankenstein's monster. And all this, after having spent almost 4 million dollars on plastic surgery.
In 1997, Wildenstein the cat had cause to pull her claws out when she caught her husband in bed with a 21-year-old Russian model. He threatened her with a gun, allegedly mistaking her for a robber. She called her lawyer, and the divorce made her one of the biggest billionaires on New York's Fifth Avenue: the judge awarded her $2.5 billion from the Wildenstein fortune, plus $200,000 a month for her expenses.
And with the money, Jocelyn continued to have surgery. Especially with breast augmentations, she was determined to show that she could still wear cleavage... and that her addiction to plastic surgery knows no limits.
After a long courtship with designer Lloyd Klein (26 years younger than her), the millionaire was arrested for assault on Lloyd himself. When the police arrived at her shared apartment in New York's Trump Tower, he had locked her in a closet and held the doors as best she could, her face covered in scratch marks, scissor wounds and hot wax injuries.
Jocelyn's first photo in this article corresponds to the assault trial. And the next two pretty much sum up her transformation.
Today she is 81 years old, and we can say that Jocelyn Wildenstein no longer looks like a person… or a cat. She looks more like an alien.
She would make an excellent pairing with the next character on the list.
2 -The Black Alien: my body, my canvas
"The Black Alien" is an artist (or so) who has literally transformed into a black alien. His real name is Anthony Loffredo, he is 32 years old and is a fan of tattoos and piercings that he decided, with plastic surgery, to go even further. Theirs is no longer a transformation, but rather a mutation. Below these lines, we see him on the left with his old face, and on the right, with his current appearance. He is not made up nor is he a computer retouched image. His face is today, truly, as we see it.
Anthony Loffredo was not an actor, but a security guard. But with a mutation worthy of the «X-Men», his life is enough for a movie. At the age of 24, he left France and moved to Australia, where he first started with tribal tattoos, piercings of all kinds and scarification. Then he moved on to subcutaneous grafts, and little by little the idea of mutating into "The Black Alien" matured. He then entered the field of plastic surgery, without hesitation.
Loffredo had skin grafts to make it more scaly. He then cut his tongue lengthwise, to have it forked like snakes. Next he cut off his ears, later he had surgery on his eyes, next was a vertical cut on his upper lip, and his most recent intervention was… cutting off his nose. But he did not do it in Australia but in Spain, because Australian laws prohibit an opso, except for justified medical reasons. It would seem that Spanish surgeons have fewer scruples and more noses.
"The Black Alien" says that, for the moment, he has only completed 21% of the body mutation that he has planned. Did we mention the mutants of the "X - Men"? Perhaps his film is more like "Men In Black." At the moment, this Black Alien is a celebrity in France; With his «bowling» he pays his bills (the plastic surgery ones, and the others) and defends his operations with the arguments of an artist who uses his body as a canvas. Visionary, or simple "wacko"? We suspect that his otolaryngologist thinks the latter.
