26st hairdresser looks unrecognisable after splashing £7k on Barbie plastic surgery makeover

THIS British hairdresser has launched her modelling career after undergoing an eye-popping plastic surgery transformation costing £7,000.

Natalie King, 49, from Birmingham, used to feel so insecure in her previous 26st 6Ib body that she would avoid going out in public.

Her body made her feel fatigued and she found it difficult to walk up the stairs, so one day she decided to join Slimming World, where she slimmed down to 12st.

Natalie has always admired the look of Barbie and Pamela Anderson which prompted her to spend thousands on enhancements.

She has dyed her hair bleach blonde, paid £4,500 on a breast enlargement from a size 44F to 34G and has had lip and cheek fillers that have costed her around £3,000.

Her new glamorous look has prompted strangers to compare her to Pamela Anderson and she now feels confident to go out of the house.

Natalie said: “I do get a lot of people who tell me I look like Pamela Anderson.

“I hated the way I looked before I had plastic surgery and didn’t go out of the house, but now I love going out as much as possible.

“I gained weight not noticing it myself, but I guess it was living a happy, content life and it just crept up on me; I just ate a lot of takeaways and cakes.

“I had enough of how I felt and looked and one day was thinking how I used to look tall and slim but with dark hair, so I wanted the slim me back.

“But this time I wanted to look a different way and totally different, as I wanted to look unrecognisable to when I was fat.

“I just love the Barbie look; the blonde hair, pink lips and I like to dress nice every day. It’s nice to be able to buy normal size clothes.”

Natalie said had a breast enlargement because after she lost all the weight she also lost her boobs, and hated the way she looked.

She said: “So, because I didn’t want a boob lift, my doctor suggested that I needed to fill the empty area, therefore I had to go for an 800cc volume; the biggest implants they make in the UK and abroad is 800cc.

“If anyone wants bigger than this then the implants must be specially made.

“At first I thought ‘wow these are too big’ but I soon got used to them now I want them bigger as I feel they not that big anymore - they do say when you have new boobs you can get ‘boob greed’.”

As well as being mistaken for the Baywatch star, Natalie, who currently lives in Newquay, Cornwall, has generally received positive reactions from strangers regarding her new look.

She said: “A lot of people stare at me and want to talk to me and I get a lot of nice compliments on how I look.

“I would like bigger boobs in future and keep up with the lip fillers, but I’m lucky enough that I don’t have any lines or wrinkles yet - even at my age.

“But a little bit of Botox to my forehead doesn’t hurt and I won’t have too much anyway just natural enough to look like my face.

“Don’t let people put you off. If surgery is what you want, go for then don’t listen to people telling you not to because it’s up to you.

“If it makes you feel beautiful then do it; it’s about you not other people, so do what will make you feel happy.”
