Botox and other treatments are pretty common today, while plastic surgery can drastically change ones appearance.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Some people who have\u00a0plastic surgery\u00a0its more about wanting to feel comfortable with their looks.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, we should all be able to do what we want where our appearance is concerned, so long as what we\u2019re doing doesn\u2019t impose any risks upon our life. Put simply, our bodies are ours, and certain people can benefit from adjusting a little here and there.<\/p>\n

There are a few people who take it a bit further and completely change the way they look.<\/p>\n

One particular person is Amanda Lepore who underwent gender reassignment surgery and became a fashion icon, model, and even an author.<\/p>\n

Amanda has gone through many plastic surgeries, and claims to have the most expensive body on Earth. At 52, that statement is bold, but is it true?<\/p>\n

How, and why, did she get the body she now has? Here\u2019s all you need to know about her transformation over the years.<\/p>\n

When Amanda was a child she had a feeling that she had been born in the wrong body.<\/p>\n

Amanda Lepore \u2013 early life<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

On 21 November 1967, Armand Lepore was born in New Jersey. She had a tough childhood, her mother had schizophrenia and was hospitalized, while her father, an Italian-American, abandoned the family when Amanda was only 14 years of age.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a really good memory, and the early part is not all good memories,\u201d she explains. \u201cI didn\u2019t like doing it at first. My mother is always on my mind. I don\u2019t think about the past \u2013 especially those years. I live in the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time as Lepore was trying to navigate her teenage years, her mother\u2019s schizophrenia \u2013 for better or worse \u2013 helped give her some insight into life.<\/p>\n

She explained that her mother usually never did her hair or makeup and looked \u201cterrible\u201d when sick. However, when she was on medication, and thus happy, she wore makeup and went to a beauty parlor. This sparked something within Amanda, creating what she thinks of as almost a life motto.<\/p>\n

\u201cI associate glamour with being happy. If you put on high heels and lipstick or get a new outfit, you feel great,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt\u2019s a celebration of loving yourself, and the whole ritual of it is so great.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 10, Amanda saw a television show about gender reassignment surgery. She told her parents that she wanted surgery because she identified as a girl.<\/p>\n

At 15, she became friends with a transsexual stripper, who gave her hormones in exchange for bikini tops Amanda had designed.<\/p>\n

Her father wasn\u2019t keen on the idea of her going through with a gender reassignment surgery, but since he had already abandoned his family, Amanda saw her chance to become the person she always knew she was.<\/p>\n

Gender reassignment surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Her mother supported Amanda when she started to dress as a girl, she bought her lipstick and a padded bra. Her name was easily changed, and so she decided to add an \u201ca\u201d so that she became Amanda in place of Armand.<\/p>\n

In 1985, Amanda required her parents\u2019 permission to undergo reassignment surgery as she was still a minor.<\/p>\n

At the age of fifteen she has rhinoplasty, to slim down her nose and shaped to appear more upturned at the tip.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt healed quicker than the doctor expected, and the packing gauze went down my throat,\u201d she mentions. The procedure was done in New York \u2013 the doctor, who she met in a nightclub, did it for free.<\/p>\n

Though her mother supported her, she couldn\u2019t accept that she wanted to undergo gender reassignment surgery. To save her dream, Amanda came up with an idea, arranging for her father-in-law to adopt her. He paid a doctor in New York to do the procedure and thereafter signed the necessary documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he was happy that his son found a nice girl,\u201d Lepore said about her father-in-law paying the surgery bill.<\/p>\n

Moved to New York and became a star<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Amanda\u2019s operation was successful and she continued on her journey to becoming the woman she always wanted to be. In 1988 when she was twenty one, Amanda received her first set of breast implants.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a girl or a gay guy wants to touch them out of curiosity, I\u2019m fine with that,\u201d she explained. \u201cBut with a straight guy, I feel invaded and wonder if he is going to buy me dinner afterward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not only did Amanda leave her husband, but she also went through tragedy when she lost her mother to cancer. She saw her father and brother for the last time at the funeral, before deciding she needed a fresh start to her life. She moved to New York \u2013 and it didn\u2019t take long before she had turned herself into a true star.<\/p>\n

In 1990, Amanda appeared on\u00a0The Joan Rivers Show<\/em>\u00a0with NYC\u2019s \u201cClub Kids \u2013 the first time she was introduced to the public eye.<\/p>\n

Club Kids were, according to Dazed, an \u201coutrageous set of party-goers whose outfits and personas heavily shaped the New York club scene.\u201d She worked several jobs before meeting famous director and photographer David LaChapelle. Amanda would go on to become a model, working with David and other prominent photographers like Terry Richardson and Ruben van Schalm.<\/p>\n

iN 2001, Amanda appeared in the comedy film\u00a0Zoolander<\/em>, as well as in several other documentaries and featured in several music videos.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to work hard to look nice\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Amanda has also recorded music collaborating with several rap artists and became a huge inspiration for many as she was a transsexual model. Her passion for glamour allowed her to keep her focus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kept me out of trouble,\u201d she mentions \u201cWhen I worked for [club promoter] Michael Alig, everybody was overdoing partying. It would take me so long to get ready because I was never one of those girls that were naturally the cover of\u00a0Vogue<\/em>. I had to work hard to look nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would take hours and hours to get ready. If you have high heels on, if you\u2019re dressed nice, you really can\u2019t be drunk or sloppy because it\u2019s dangerous. It\u2019s part of being a lady, so it really kept me out of trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amanda is celebrated for her excellent performances and talents as her looks became of interest to the public, especially since she claims to have \u201cthe most expensive body on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her twenties she underwent numerous surgeries with procedures including a lower hairline and lifted eyebrows to givie the impression of a smaller forehead. Other surgeries included cheekbone augmentation, double eyelid surgery (removing skin), lip augmentation, and eye surgery to make her eyes bigger and more \u201cdoll-like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broke her bottom ribs to get a smaller waist<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In 2000, she underwent rib reshaping surgery in Mexico. She explained that she had her bottom ribs broken and pushed in to achieve a smaller waist and a more hourglass-like figure. She also does \u201ccorset training\u201d for a few hours each day.<\/p>\n

All told, Amanda\u2019s surgeries have been reported to have cost her over $1million. She herself says she doesn\u2019t know the total amount.<\/p>\n

\u201cFortunately, everything was at its best when I had it done,\u201d she mentions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t have to do silicone injections in the boobs and things like that. They had implants by then. In those ways, I was lucky. And the sex change was really good. I didn\u2019t have to fix everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2017, Amanda published her first book,\u00a0Doll Parts<\/em>. Through it, she gave the world a fresh perspective on her life, sharing inspirational stories and lessons learnt.<\/p>\n

Amanda has undergone multiple surgeries, however what\u2019s most important is that she is content with herself. In her book, Amanda tells us she feels like a doll.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m inflated in the right places. I think I look better than a blow-up doll,\u201d Amanda explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have that blow-up doll thing with the boobs, and the big round lips and the long hair. My boobs and lips and ass and hips are inflated. My head a little bit, too\u201d.<\/p>\n

She also added that there weren\u2019t any surgeries she wanted that the doctors refused to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cNo, but I recently got my eyes done, and I was really happy with them. They\u2019re now much more doll-like. I\u2019m glad I waited because I went to a Korean doctor, and they know how to make Japanese eyes into white eyes. I wanted my eyes bigger,\u201d Amanda explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I look a lot more proportionate. It makes everything else look natural because everything else is fake, so I have matching eyes now. I know I said I wasn\u2019t going to do any surgery, and I was happy, but who can resist bigger doll eyes?<\/p>\n
