With each passing year, it becomes more and more common to hear of celebrities undergoing plastic surgery to maintain their youthful appearance, or to “fix” something about themselves that they are unhappy with. Unfortunately; however, it is also becoming increasingly popular for not-so-people to undergo plastic surgery to keep up with some of their favorite stars. In recent years, many obsessive fans have decided that simply being obsessed isn’t enough. Dozens of people have gone under the knife with the hopes of physically transforming themselves into their favorite famous person. Unfortunately, the results of these surgeries often do not result in a doppelgänger. Here are 10 extreme cases of celebrity wanna be plastic surgery.
10.Nileen Namita AKA Nefertiti
The ancient Egyptian queen, Nefertiti is often considered one of the most beautiful women in history. In fact, the dimensions of Nefertiti’s face, which are considered perfect, are often used as a blueprint for plastic surgeons. However, Nileen Namita, a woman from Brighton, England, decided to borrow more than just the dimensions of the famous face. Namita, who believes that she was Nefertiti in a past life, has undergone numerous surgeries in order to transform into the legendary queen. According to Namita, “Throughout my childhood and teen years I had constant vivid dreams of this ancient queen. They were visions of incredible intensity – I could see where she lived, her servants, her rooms, even the food she ate – and although at first I found the dreams frightening, I began to research what they meant. Aged 23 I underwent psychoanalysis with a counsellor. Slowly I began to realize that I was having these dreams because I am a reincarnation of Nefertiti.” Over the years, Namita has spent countless amounts of money in pursuit of her dream, even forcing her daughter to leave private school. However, while the results have certainly changed her appearance, Namita probably won’t be getting mistaken for Nefertiti any time soon.

8. Mike and Matt Schlepp AKA Brad Pitt

According to reports, they have spent around $29,000 in their effort. Although the two look nothing like Brad Pitt, they claim to be happy with their decision(s).

After her surgery, Chandler appeared on the short-lived MTV series, I Want a Famous Face. Chandler, a mother of two who was just 26 at the time of her surgery, says that she is very happy with her results.
6. Mikki Jay AKA Michael Jackson
Unlike many other people who undergo plastic surgery to look like a celebrity, Mikki Jay actually performs as an impersonator. Jay, a British entertainer, has spent thousands of dollars and undergone multiple surgeries to look more like Michael Jackson. Due to her surgeries, which have gotten her eerily close to Jackson’s appearance, Jay was given the chance to meet Jackson in 2002. While her obsession with the late star may seem a bit bizarre, Mikki Jay is a very smart business women. On average, Jay collects nearly $2,000 for each performance she does.

However, Sheldon may want to consider stopping while he’s ahead.
