People Mock Woman For Spending Over $60K To Look Like Marilyn Monroe But She Loves The ‘Attention’

Feb 19, 2023 by apost team

Plastic surgery has gained popularity in the last few years, and while some people go under the knife to look like a perceived better version of themselves, others do so with the intention of looking like someone else, usually celebrities. That's the case for a Los Angeles woman named Serena Smith, 23, who is so enamored with Golden Age of Hollywood starlets Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield that she's spent over $60,000 on plastic surgery in order to look like them.

Smith has been spending money on plastic surgery since 2016, and although she's had a number of major procedures, including breast implants, a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), rhinoplasty and fillers, she has no intentions of slowing down. In fact, she's gearing up to undergo her second breast augmentation with larger implants.

Her first time under the knife was as an 18-year-old in December 2016 when she took her 32A breasts to a 32DD. She followed that up with a nose job that cost $11,500 in a bid to get herself a "Hollywood nose." She also routinely gets Botox and fillers in her lips.

Speaking with the Daily Mail, Smith didn't shy away from discussing how painful the procedures were. She admitted she felt like she'd been hit by a truck after the BBL surgery and said the recovery was "very intense, definitely the hardest so far." She added that she had to "wear a compression garment 23 hours a day for two months" and that she was "sore all over covered in bruises and very swollen." Nevertheless, she doesn't regret getting the surgery done.

Smith looked ahead to her next big operation, swapping out her breast implants for larger ones. She told the Daily Mail, "I'm really looking forward to my next surgery, a revision of my breast augmentation to go bigger. I'm planning on going from 500 cc Implants to 1,000 cc implants on each side."

Smith said she wanted to get the BBL done first so her new "extra-large implants ... would have good proportions and (her) body would be symmetrical." She added:

"I didn't want to look like an upside-down triangle, in my opinion, it's all about balance to achieve a really attractive look."

Overall, the influencer and budding musician with a small but growing following of over 21,800 fans on Instagram is "very happy with the results" of the new "curvier look" she was after. She admitted, "you forget the recovery process" after you've healed but said "you feel terrible" when it's happening.

Nevertheless, the budding starlet said, "everything is worth it for that newfound confidence" and admitted she'll "never stop" getting plastic surgery. Smith told The Sun:

"I love getting attention and I love getting reactions, I don't take life too seriously and I love to provoke people. I find it hilarious."

However, some people said that she didn't look anything like Monroe despite that being Smith's inspiration. One person said, "I don't think they know what Marilyn Monroe looked like." Another said, "She looks like a Bratz doll."

Smith has remained unphased by the negative comments, though. She explained:

"I am not hurting anyone with my choices. I like to spread positivity on my Instagram page and have it be a safe place for my fans and followers to interact with me."

Smith added, "... I like to continually improve myself. It's an investment into yourself."
