World’s ‘most plastic’ woman Cindy Jackson wants to shed her Barbie doll image – and is thrilled to lose world record to Human Ken doll Rodrigo Alves
AFTER spending 17 years in the Guinness Book of Records for having more cosmetic procedures than anybody else in the world, Cindy Jackson is about to lose her title - and she is thrilled.
She found fame and notoriety after having a staggering 14 operations costing around £50,000 since 1987, including liposuction, three full face lifts, two nose jobs, two eye lifts, lip and cheek implants and a chin reduction.
On top of that the 59-year-old is in the record books for having also had 47 non-surgical procedures including Botox, fillers, chemical peels and semi-permanent make up.
She plans to have more - but she won’t be telling record holding officials because she wants ‘Human Ken doll’ Rodrigo Alves to take her crown.
Cindy told The Sun: “I’ve been to the Guinness Book of Records gatherings for book launches and parties, and it is like the Star Wars bar. People see it as a freak show.
"You have the bearded lady, most-tattooed man, piercings from head to toe, longest fingernails. They are all lovely people, but I don’t feel like I fit in.”
Cindy, who lives in north London and is single, had her first operation in 1987 and now advises others on where to get the best plastic surgery.
She said: “I have had more work since setting my last world record, a neck lift, a few tweaks and dozens of non-surgical procedures - I can’t remember all the procedures. It’s like asking someone to remember how many haircuts they’ve had in the last 30 years.
“I won’t be officially logging them because I’m sick of being known as a Barbie doll. I don’t want to be involved in a competition. I think some people – like Rodrigo – have procedures just to win the title. All I ever wanted was to look good, but natural.
“People got it wrong and thought I had 47 cosmetic operations – that is ridiculous. It was 47 procedures. If I’d had 47 operations I would look like a patchwork quilt and be brain dead from all the anesthetic.”
Last week Rodrigo, 33, who is set to go into the Celebrity Big Brother house, announced he will continue to go under the knife, even though he can’t breathe properly and he’s due to be named as the new record holder in November.
He said: “I’ve had 51 surgeries now and more than 100 cosmetic procedures...plastic surgery turned me into a different person, it’s made me happy and famous.”
Now he will be the one attending the record breaking parties.
Cindy said: “I never even applied for it - they put me in the millennium edition in 1999 and I thought it was a bit of fun, a laugh, at first.
“But I felt so out of place. I remember one party, sitting next to the most tattooed man, a man that looked like a lizard, someone who could pull their lips over their forehead.
“I wondered what on earth I was doing. I looked like I was the freak because I looked normal - out of place.
Since she started having surgery in 1987, using inheritance money after the death of her father, Cindy has had her eyes operated to look wider and less tired, she’s had a smaller feminine nose built, her cheekbones heightened, fuller lips, a smaller, more delicate jaw and chin and a defined waistline.
She’s had face lifts, neck lifts, a tummy tuck, breast enhancement, chemical peels, fat transferred across her body, micro dermabrasion and cosmetic dentistry, to name a few.
Rodrigo has spent ten times as much as Cindy, £400,000, on his cosmetic surgery including numerous facelifts, a bum lift, liposuction and six nose jobs - and he claims it is “impossible to stop”.
Cindy said: “Rodrigo has had a lot of bad surgery. He almost lost his nose - a good deal of his procedures are revisions of botch jobs.
“I went for the natural look. There have been claims he is addicted to surgery, I don’t know whether or not he is, but I most certainly am not - the differences are endless. For me, surgery that isn’t as natural-looking as possible, is a failure.
“If he wins the world record, I will hand it to him on TV myself. He is welcome to it.”
