A woman who dreamed of looking like a superstar has ended up disfigured and in pain, the Beijing Evening News reports.

"I wanted to have Michele Lee's nose and Karen Mok's legs," said the woman, surnamed Ye, who underwent plastic surgery several times but ended up with a swollen nose, scarred legs and endless pain. She went to two Beijing medical clinics for surgery.

Ye consulted doctors several times before she chose one clinic where she had a nose and leg surgery. She went to another clinic for more leg surgery, because she was not satisfied with the first. It cost her a total of 80,000 yuan, and most of the money she used was borrowed from her friends.

One year later, her nose became swollen, and her knees often ache on rainy days.
