It is rare to find someone who is completely happy with the photo on their driver’s license. They might think their face looks weird or they had a bad hair day during the photo. Once the photo on the license is taken, it will be the visual identification for a person for many years. Even when it is time to renew the driver’s license, the person will be older, but they likely still resemble the initial photo on the document. This was not the case for one woman from Brazil who was unable to renew her driver’s license due to the extreme changes in her appearance made by plastic surgery.
Denise Rocha is a thirty-nine-year-old lawyer based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It has been reported that she has spent more than $318,000 (American dollars) on plastic surgery procedures designed to enhance her appearance. The changes to her look seemed to have worked as Denise reported she was not able to renew her driver’s license because she looks so different than she did in the past.
When she visited a government office to try and renew her license, Denise reported that the staff “questioned” her identity and proceeded to ask for another form of identification in order to prove her identity. According to Denise, “They didn’t believe it was me. I understand their work and I know they really need to check it out. But it was a really funny situation and I didn’t expect it.”
In addition to being a lawyer, she is also an OnlyFans model, and she has been referred to as the “world’s hottest lawyer” by various people online. While plastic surgery procedures have helped her gain her new look, Denise did admit that she never thought that her various plastic surgery treatments would result in a situation where she would have a problem proving her identity to government officials. Denise even referred to the request for more identification as “unthinkable” in terms of her being asked if she was actually herself.
Thankfully, Denise did manage to convince the transit department (DETRAN) staff of her identity and she was finally able to renew her driver’s license.
As mentioned earlier, Densie is both a lawyer and an OnlyFans model, so she uses online photos as a way to make extra money. While some members of her family were not sure about the OnlyFans idea at first, once they started to see the amount of money Denise was able to make sharing photos, they started to back the idea.
One thing about Denise is that she has not been shy about sharing the various procedures she has undergone to gain her current appearance. A list of some of the plastic surgery procedures she had in the past include:
One of the aspects of the changes to her appearance that Denise has really enjoyed is challenging the opinion of those who think she cannot be pretty as well as intelligent. She will not let the “limiting beliefs” of others impact her life or her career. According to Denise, “There is still a thought for some people that a lawyer cannot be beautiful and smart.”
She also shared the story that her look has sometimes been a complication when it comes to finding love. In her case, Densie says she identifies as “sapiosexual” which means that she is attracted to the intelligence of a person. However, due to her looks from plastic surgery, many men simply assume that she is not a smart or clever person. Much like the people who asked her to prove her appearance in order to renew her driver’s license, it looks like Denise also needs to prove her level of intelligence to many of the men she meets.
