Being a teenager is never easy and this fact is especially true these days with so much emphasis on the appearance of a person thanks to social media. Many people go to amazing lengths to make a change in their appearance, once they become adults, in order to achieve the look they have always desired.
One such person lives in Zurich, Switzerland. Her name is Celine Centino and this 24-year-old has spent over $40,000 on plastic surgery. The list of surgeries she has undergone includes:
Celine says she was viciously bullied as a teen and decided to make a change in her appearance. Her current breast size, after three enhancements, is size 34FF. Her new look has made her an Instagram star and she is now unrecognizable from her teenage appearance.
During an interview with a newspaper in England, Celine said she was taunted about her looks and was called “ugly” by others. The teasing was so bad that she would call in sick to school to avoid having to face her bullies.
She saved money from working as a hairdresser to pay for plastic surgery that would eventually make her happy with her appearance. Her surgical transformation started in September 2013 and she now feels more confident than ever before about her appearance.
She told the newspaper that “I was always a happy person, but I didn't feel good in my skin. So many people judged me because I was 'ugly', and I turned into a sad person. I wanted to be happy again, so I changed my look and everything I didn't like about myself. We live in a time when we can change something if we like it, so I took this chance.”
She added, “I was bullied daily, and it was always about something new, either I looked like a guy because I had "no boobs", or my a** was too fat (although now I like that). Kids would tell me my face looked like rubbish, my style was ugly, this part of me was not good that part of me was not good, I couldn't get it right according to them, they were all mean. They would say I'm ugly, push me and ignore me. I had no chance to show that I'm a great person, they only saw the ugly Celine".
To avoid having to face anyone, she would constantly say she had a cold and was sick in order to avoid school. She started saving money so she would have the opportunity to make a change in her appearance.
“I always wanted big boobs, my natural boob size was zero, so I finally wanted to be beautiful and have a normal life, without getting judged. I saved up a lot of money while I was young. I was never out partying in clubs until I was 18; I worked hard and spent all of my money on my surgeries. Now I feel so good about myself and I'm finally happy again that I can live the life I always wanted. Also, it makes me feel stronger than I was before. If someone says anything bad about me, I don't care. Nobody can hurt me anymore.'
When talking about her numerous procedures, Celine discussed the desire to have bigger boobs. As a child, she loved Pamela Anderson and always wanted big boobs like her. She wanted a strong look to go with her increasingly strong personality.
She went on to say “like something mystical; a woman can't be hurt because she is so strong. She needs no man, but all the men want her.”
Celine does admit that she gets different reactions from different people. Some people feel that she looks good and compliment her on her looks while others say that she looks “plastic”. She gets more positive than negative reactions and that men “go crazy for her look”.
Regardless of how others feel about her look, she feels positive about the changes she made and is comfortable in her appearance. When asked how she would react if she saw any of her teenage bullies, Celine said “if I came across any of my bullies now, I would ignore them. They never gave me a chance, so they don't deserve to talk to me.”
