A 22-year old woman in Russia has gotten over 100 silicone lip injections, costing over $6,000. Kristina Rei says that she wants to look like Jessica Rabbit, one of her favorite characters.
"I think I look fantastic, and it makes me happy," she said. "Sometimes strangers shout names at me in the street - like big lips- but I don't care. I want to go more extreme. I want to look like a cartoon character."
The woman says she's wanted to have her lips enhanced since she was four years old. After seeing regular ads on Russian TV about cosmetic surgery, she decided to take the plunge.
"My big lips have helped boost my confidence...even my parents are happy for me," Rei said.
Rei says that after she's done with her lips, she's going to save money to enhance her breasts. "When I can afford it, I want to enlarge my breasts from a C-cup to a DD, change the shape of my nose and make my ears pointed like an elf," she says.
Maybe Ms. Rei is visiting the wrong type of doctor. She might need one to help change the shape of her brain.
