Model who spent $800k to look like Kim Kardashian is reversing her surgeries

A model who spent $800,000 to ‘become’ Kim Kardashian says she regrets her decision – and is now reversing the process.

A former Versace model who forked out over $800,000 on surgery to look like Kim Kardashian says she regrets her decision – and is now reversing the transformation.

Jennifer Pamplona has spent the past seven years going under the knife and pumping her body with fillers to fulfil her ultimate quest to look just like her idol, Kim Kardashian.

But the 29-year-old said she soon realised that looking like the world’s most famous family was not all it was cracked up to be – and wished she’d never started the surgeries.

She is now spending a further $176,000k to reverse the process and ‘feel like herself’ again.

“I was going through so many different surgeries to have the signature Kardashian style” Jennifer said.

“I was happy having this Kardashian style look, it made me money and I enjoyed life.

“But now I just want to be recognised as who I really am. I would look in the mirror and people would call me a Kardashian and then it started to get annoying.

“I had worked and studied and I became businesswoman. I had done all these things and all these achievements in my personal life but I was doing was being recognised by looking like a Kardashian.”

The Brazilian-born model now lives in Dubai, and has launched her own cosmetics company, as well as making investments and also some acting on the side, while making money from being a Kardashian lookalike.

Getting her first boob job at 17, and the start of her surgery history, Jennifer claims she was addicted to surgery and has been ever since.

“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” she said.

“But I knew what I wanted to be, and I had a plan that when I turn 30 I’m going to stop with the Kardashian look.

“So I found a doctor in Istanbul who could completely change my face. I saw on the computer beforehand how I would look and it was like I was having a rebirth.

“I first started with my veneers we changed the fake look of the veneers made them look a lot more natural.

“I then had a face and neck lift, buccal fat removal, cat eye surgery, a lip lift, and a nose job all in one.”

Jennifer lived for seven years as a lookalike Kardashian, which brought a lot of attention to her life after multiple different surgeries and procedures.

However, she now wants to step away from a Kardashian shadow and focus on being herself after losing herself to the addiction she faced.

“I have lost count of the surgeries I have had, if I was to guess, it is over 40” she said.
“It was an addiction and I got into a cycle of surgery equals fame and money, I just lost control of everything I went through a lot of hard times.

“At one point I was just having surgeries to look like a Kardashian, I couldn’t do my own things like acting, as I was just known as a Kardashian lookalike.”

Even though Jennifer is used to having different surgeries, this final surgery to reverse her Kardashian transformation hasn’t been smooth sailing.

Her face was sore and infected, spending a month in Turkey alone recovering from the life changing procedures.

“I started bleeding a lot from my cheeks and it continued for three days. I was so scared I would get sepsis” she said.

“I was thinking to myself, what the hell have I done with my life.

“But 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.”
