A 29-year-old British model who has had over 100 plastic surgery operations (costing more than a million dollars) is checking into plastic surgery rehab in Malibu, California — and it’ll all be filmed for reality TV, of course.
“I’ve had so many operations that I can’t feel my stomach, my left breast, or anything under my right arm,” says Alicia Douvall, who first went under the knife as a teenager. “I’ve had 15 boob jobs. I’ve changed my eyes and nose, had facelifts. My philosophy is ‘if it can be changed, it will be’. It’s got to the stage where doctors in Britain refuse to treat me any more, so I’ve been flying to the US for surgery and lying about my medical history … Every two weeks, I’ll go see another doctor. Often I’ll walk in, not even knowing what I want doing, and say something like ‘what do you think might be wrong?’ or ‘what do you think of my eyes?’ I keep hoping I might wake up one day feeling happy with myself.”
“Imagine playing Russian roulette with your life,” Alicia says. “That’s what I’m doing. It’s out of control, and has cost me more than £1m. Before I decided to come to Malibu, I’d accepted that I was going to carry on with it until I was either bankrupt or dead.”
Alicia has been diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder, and will be treated at Passages in Malibu with a host of other Z-listers for a television show called Rehab (which I think might only be airing on British TV, although I’m not sure). Passages is one of the uber-expensive, exclusive rehab facilities along the Malibu coastline, but, unlike most other treatment facilities, they don’t use the 12-step model, and they believe that alcoholism and addiction can be permanently cured — garnering them a nasty rap among professionals in the field.
Hahahah.
Ms. Beet, I love whenever you write things.
The other girls are great, but you’re just hilarious.
And that poor woman does need help.
I hope she gets better…
There has got to be a better way to get pain meds.
she looks disgusting.
just looking at her picture and knowing almost everybody part is fake just makes me want to throw up.
addicted to plastic surgery, heh.
yo, she changed her nose… to THAT??
my thoughts exactly
and that’s the nose she ended up with?
I’m going to hell
A million bucks to look like modern-day Melanie Griffith and she can’t afford to run a brush through her hair? On the bright side – at this point she’ll always have that ‘new car’ smell.
That’s really sad! I wonder what she looked like before!!!
I wish someone would jam the satellite so this trash couldn’t be beamed down to earth. I swear they will make a reality show out of people with flatulence one day…
HAHAHA!
I would so watch that. Seriously, just a show of people farting? How hilarious!
Yes, I am terribly immature when it comes to bodily noises…
didn’t diddy sleep with this chick?
oh guys this is not funny at all to me… i have had BDD when I was young and years ago I saw her in a documentary about plastic surgery in channel 4 and I thought she must suffer from it. it is sad because when you have Body Dysmorphic Disorder you always look in the mirror and you always see yourself as the ugliest perosn in the world… No matter what you do, you look like a monster to yourself and sometimes it is accompanied with being paranoid and thinking that everyone is laughing about your looks and thinking about how disgusting you are….
I learned to be ok with myself, but I think when you are in the spotlight and you can afford plastic surgery it is even more difficult cos there is always this fake hope, and you keep telling yourself “if I fix this, then I will be happy…” but you never end up happy because it is all in your head. It is so sad….
i think it is unethical for doctors to keep performing plastic surgery on people like this…obviously she is mentally unbalanced.
