Woman Spent $60,000 On 15 Surgeries To Look Like Kim Kardashian
She doesn’t regret a thing.
Kim Kardashian’s fans can sometimes be extreme, like this South Korean woman who’s splurged over $60,000 on plastic surgeries. Cherri Lee, born Hanbyeol Lee, spent that money and has undergone a total of 15 surgeries to emulate Kim Kardashian’s look and figure on herself.
She grew up watching “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and has always wanted to look like her.
The woman shared with South West News Service, “Kim has always been an inspiration to me, and she’s the most beautiful woman in the world in my eyes.”
She began her journey at the age of 20. Now eight years later, she’s gone through three Brazilian butt lifts and two breast augmentations that gave her a pair of 34GGG breasts. She’s also had several facial reconstruction jobs that made her almost unrecognizable as an Asian.
The woman who also got herself double eyelids added, “I actually look like a completely different person now to before. I look Western, and some of my Korean family don’t even recognize me anymore.”
Now a part-time English teacher, Cherri shared that she received monetary help from her parents as well. She got her first breast augmentation in 2016 in Seoul, South Korea. She doesn’t “regret a single procedure” and would “do it all again the same.”
Her “only regret is why didn’t I do it sooner.”
She went through a breakup in the early 2010s that affected her. That was how she decided to radically change her appearance with surgeries. She got “addicted” and called them “positive changes” whenever she walked out of the hospital with a bit of her changing.
“I would get a buzz when I would wake up in excruciating pain, and then see myself afterwards and it would be my reward.”
She broke up again in 2014 after her boyfriend saw her after her first surgery. Then she got three BBLs, a nose job, a cheekbone surgery, a double chin reduction, and two rounds of buccal fat removal around 2019-2021.
She shared, “I don’t think my facial features look like Kim K, but the overall vibe is her.”
The single woman added that she “was never really a fan of Oriental looks” and said, “I didn’t like how I looked before, but I’m really happy now.”
And now, her ex-boyfriend is reportedly back in touch with her, but she’s not interested anymore and said, “I’m too good for him now, and I’m getting a higher caliber of men approaching me. It was plain rude.”
While she gets praises and has been asked for numbers by men on numerous occasions, there are also those with negative reactions. One of them asked if she was a sex worker.
“If you have nothing nice to say, jog on. Everybody should have the right to modify their body. Do what you want, as long as you’re not harming anyone,” said Cherri.
