I spent £500k to look like Kim K – it was huge mistake that cost me a fortune

A woman has revealed how she spent nearly half-a-million pounds trying to look like her idol, and it turned out to be one of her biggest mistakes.

Model Jennifer Pamlona, 29, spent seven years having cosmetic surgery and regular fillers to try and look like reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

Now she's spent a further £100,000 to get the work undone, as she discovered looking like the celeb was a lot harder than she thought it would be.

She is now trying to regain her natural looks, which means going back under the knife to change her 22 inch waist.

Initially the model underwent a number of different surgeries to try and achieve the Kardashian look, and she said it helped her to earn some money, and she was happy for a while.

But now she just wants to be confident in her own skin, as she said it got frustratingly "annoying" when people always used to compare her to the popular TV star.

She told The Sun: "I had worked and studied and I became a business woman.

"I had done all these things and all these achievements in my personal life, but all I was doing was being recognised for looking like a Kardashian."

Jennifer, who is originally from Brazil, works as a Kardashian lookalike to help sustain her life in Dubai.

She also runs her own cosmetics company, and does a little acting on the side.

The model had her first ever boob job when she was only 17, and she claims it was from this point that going under the knife became an addiction.

She added: "I don’t want to be a shadow of someone else. I want to be my own person.

"I never intended to look like a Kardashian and I didn't want to, but when people made this comparison, I took the opportunity and made it a big deal. It brought me fame and money."

Jennifer formerly modelled for Versace and discovered a surgeon in Istanbul who was happy to completely transform her face, which began with changing her veneer type.

In order to look like super-glam Kim K the model had to undergo a face and neck lift, buccal fat removal, cat eye surgery, a lip lift and a nose job all in one operation.

She admitted she walked into the surgery as herself, and left as a completely different person.

Jennifer said it was hard to adapt to living with the new version of herself, even though she knew it was what she asked for.

But she said the after effects of the surgery "weren't good at all", as her left eye wouldn’t close following cat eye surgery and she feared she would go blind.

Going under the knife became a "nightmare" – to the point where she couldn't even move her face.

It has taken the model up to seven years to learn how different procedures work, and understand the risks that come alongside them.

Jennifer is now set to feature in a documentary airing in August called "Addiction", which works to highlight the true issues that surround surgery addictions.

She claims she got stuck in a cycle whereby she believed more surgery would lead to more money and fame, which essentially led to her losing control.

"I discovered that I was addicted to surgery and I wasn’t happy, I was putting filler in my face like I was in the supermarket," she added.

"But this can happen with teenagers now. It is crazy and it needs to change."

Jennifer now knows her infatuation with surgery was rooted in the fact that she was suffering from body dysmorphia, and says she wishes she had noticed this earlier.

Even though the model is used to going under the knife, she claimed her final procedure hasn't been plain sailing.

She had to spend a month in Turkey to recover from the ops, which left her face both sore and infected.

Her cheeks bled a lot, and this went on for three days. At one point she was worried she'd contract sepsis.

The model said even though she knows there are a lot of people who look up to her, she wants them to know there is a dark side to life.

She said she carries "a lot of responsibility" in being a role model for both her family and her fans, and she'll now continue to speak honestly about her experiences to show people the good and the bad times.

Jennifer said: "The best feeling was knowing I wasn’t in a fight with myself anymore, I was now who I wanted to be and I really now understand the meaning of life.

"This surgery has been a very difficult moment in my life, I don’t want people to think my life is a joke. I want to help people and inspire them.

"I don't filter anything I am honest and I feel like I can help a lot of people with my life story, but my face is beautiful and now I look even more beautiful."
