I spent $50k on a boob job, BBL, & filler, I started looking like an alien & want to be ‘natural’ – with a big exception
A SELF-PROCLAIMED plastic surgery addict who spent $50,000 on procedures has started to dissolve her filler for a more natural look.
Serena Smith, 24, from Beverly Hills, California, was 18 when she went under the knife for the first time in December 2016.
At the time, the singer paid $7,500 for a boob job, which took her from an A cup to a D cup.
She loved her new look so much that she decided to have more cosmetic work done.
Serena spent $12,000 on a nose job and $20,000 on a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) to change her appearance.
She also splashed out on Botox and fillers in her lips, cheeks, chin, and forehead.
Her cosmetic enhancements totaled more than $50,000, enough money to buy a luxury car or put a down payment on a house.
But now Serena — who was inspired by Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe's look — wants to appear more "natural."
"I am trying to embrace natural beauty a little bit," she said.
"I am not saying I am done with getting procedures or anything, but I want to embrace my natural look.

"I loved my appearance, but over time I have realized it wasn't working for me.
"Maybe it comes with growing older, you learn to accept your beauty a little bit more."
She added that having a more natural look is on trend, saying "things are going more down to basics."
In February 2023, she opted to have a large amount of the filler in her face dissolved.
Serena explained that she wanted to change the shape of her chin to stop herself from looking like an "alien."
Her usual clinic dissolved the unwanted filler for free.
"I think every once in a while, it is good to keep things fresh," she said.
"Everybody changes. We don't stay the same our whole life.
"Our bodies change as we age, different things happen, and it is good to keep up with that.
"Nothing lasts forever. I had that look for around three years."
