I have had my ears cut off to try and fix my face: Alicia Douvall blasts predatory plastic surgeons as she reveals her face is so botched she can’t smile at her baby

Plastic surgery can have pitfalls – imagine spending a million dollars to fix a botched procedure just so you could smile at your baby.

She first went under the knife when she was 17, and since then has had six nose jobs, 11 procedures on the skin around her eyes, cheek implants (both adding and removal) and a facelift.

Alicia says she also had a rib shortened to give her a slimmer silhouette, her toes shortened ‘so they looked better in heels’, a tummy tuck, bottom implants, chin implants and 16 breast augmentations.

Oh dear, will she ever find happiness with her face and body?

I have had my ears cut off to try and fix my face: Alicia Douvall blasts predatory plastic surgeons as she reveals her face is so botched she can't smile at her baby

• Model has had more than 350 cosmetic operations
• Underwent first procedure aged 17
  
• Has spent £1.2million on surgery
  
• Hasn't ever been able to smile at 16-month-old her baby daughter, Papaya

After claiming that she would never have another surgical treatment again, cosmetic surgery addict Alicia Dovall was spotted last week with a bandaged and bloody face.

The swelling and stitches were a result of of a traumatic operation to have all her facial implants removed, a corrective procedure that she hopes will save her looks and return her ability to smile.

The painful procedure involved breaking her jaw and nose and having her ears cut off, but the ex-model has revealed in an interview with The Sun that she is determined to do whatever it takes to enable her to smile at baby daughter Papaya, as she urges other women to avoid cosmetic surgery.

The heartbroken 34-year-old has revealed that her face had been so botched from surgery that she couldn't smile at her newborn when she gave birth in 2011.

Alicia, who has undergone over 350 procedures and spent £1.2million on surgery since the age of 17, has two daughters, Georgia, 17, and 16-month-old Papaya.

She told The Sun: ' Imagine holding your baby daughter for the for the first time and not being able to smile. I have been so selfish. Now my dream is for Papaya one day to see her mummy smile back at her for the first time.'

Alicia also admitted her guilt at forcing older daughter Georgia to miss an important GCSE exam so that she could babysit while Alicia underwent yet another procedure.

As well as losing her once lovely looks and not being able to move her face naturally, Alicia is unable to drink normally, and is often in pain.

She first went under the knife when she was 17, and since then has had six nose jobs, 11 procedures on the skin around her eyes, cheek implants (both adding and removal) and a facelift.

Alicia says she also had a rib shortened to give her a slimmer silhouette, her toes shortened ‘so they looked better in heels’, a tummy tuck, bottom implants, chin implants and 16 breast augmentations.

Alicia believes that she has an addiction to surgery and blames the surgeons who allowed her to disfigure herself when she was such a pretty young women.

Comparing herself to Katie Piper, the formal model who was disfigured in an acid attack, glamour girl Alicia says that her life has been ruined by 'attackers in white coats'.

Alicia says that she was blinded by the predatory surgeons who promised she would look 'perfect' but instead turned her in to a walking sideshow.

She said: ‘I often used that word. I took a Barbie doll to one medical consultation to show them exactly what I was after.

'I was unwell; addicted to surgery. But none of those doctors tried to stop me. I think they just wanted my money.'

She needs to have one more corrective operation to stop her face drooping, but she is urging other women never to have plastic surgery just to make themselves look better

Her addiction saw her sometimes have an operation a week, and all available funds went on her quest for perfection.

She added: 'Apart from my daughter’s education, I spent nothing on anything but surgery. I ate beans on toast and never had a holiday. I even persuaded boyfriends to pay for operations.

‘I’ve had so much surgery, my face doesn’t move. I can’t smile properly and can’t breathe through my nose. If I’d never had surgery, I’d be far better looking than I am now.’
