The mother who had surgery just to look like her daughter
If you look to this picture you might think that Janet and Jane Cunliffe are twins. But they are not, they aren't even sisters. They are mother and daughter! Janet spent more than $13,000 on
plastic surgery in a desperate effort to bridge the 22-year age gap between herself and her daughter. They now have flowing blonde hair, hourglass figures and slender, toned legs. Mother and daughter both weigh in at 8st and, except for a couple of inches in height (at 5ft 6in, Jane is two inches taller) and different eye colors (Jane's are brown, Janet's are blue) they are virtually identical.

The twin sisters who paid £60,000 on surgery to look completely identical
Some identical twins do everything in tandem, from coming down with chickenpox to donning tutus for ballet lessons. But Jo and Kerry Burton have taken this fact to a whole new level. When Jo decided to have cosmetic surgery on her nose, Kerry followed suit. And since that day, the sisters have spent £60,000 on a host of operations - all carried out at the same time by the same doctors - to ensure they cannot be told apart. They even had to have their initials written on their bellies so the surgeon knew who was who. At age 34, they both have had a breast enlargement, eye-lift, permanent make-up tattoos and Botox jabs.

The Octuplet's mom who wanted to look like Angelina Jolie
Nadya Suleman, the woman who recently gave birth to octuplets, is said to be morphing into Angelina Jolie. According to plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, the similarities between Nadya and Angelina are uncanny, their brows are almost identical, and they both have nice smooth foreheads. Youn, who obviously has not treated Suleman, said the megamom appears to have undergone surgical procedures, including lip augmentation and rhinoplasty, which make her resemble Jolie. The similarities are more than skin deep. Both Suleman and Jolie are 33. Both are raising large broods of children (Angie's is only up to six, but she says it's still growing.)
Suleman denied speculation that she had plastic surgery to look like the Oscar winner.

The woman who underwent plastic surgery to look like her husband's ex wife
A man in China has convinced his new wife to undergo plastic surgery so she could resemble his dead first wife. Zhao Gang, 32, from Chongqing city, China, lost his first wife in a car accident three years ago and now wants his new wife to look exactly like the dead one.
Zhao said he only got married because his new bride looks a bit like her and he wanted to have a chance to make up for his mistakes. Now, he wants his new bride to undergo plastic surgery so she would really resemble his dead wife. Fortunately for him, his second wife agreed to his suggestion. His unidentified wife told the newspaper, “I feel conflicted. I don't want to become another's shadow, but I also don't want to lose the family. Now I only hope the surgery will not make me look ugly.” Zhao said, “Maybe it's more or less unfair to her, but she has agreed and I will embrace her with all my love.”

The security guard who spent £3,500 so he could look like the DEVIL
Gavin Paslow, a 39-year-old security guard, spent £3,552 to fund operations to give himself a fangs, a forked tongue and horns. Paslow, who has changed his name to Diablo Delenfer, or devil from the inferno - carried out 'body modifications' to look more like Lucifer.
His transformation began with his bizarre 'budding horns' - two domed implants made from hard Teflon on either side of his forehead. The £200-a-piece operations, carried out by a specialist in Manchester, were done without anesthetic in early 2008 - and took a total of five hours. The same
cosmetic surgeon carried out a further procedure, also without anesthetic, to 'fork' his tongue - which involved slicing it down the middle with a scalpel. He later had a final operation to make his ears pointed at the tips. The fangs were achieved by grinding down his canine teeth and attaching £560 permanent ceramic crowns to each one. He also has 29 tattoos covering most of his upper body. To finish off his demonic look, Paslow wears green lizard-style contact
lenses and, on special occasions, a long undertakers' tail coat combined with a frilly shirt.
The divorced father-of-two said his body is a work in progress and that he is not satanic but rather addicted to body modification.
