Man who had 200 surgeries to be a woman was left crippled by her addiction to surgeries.

                      

A man who has had an astonishing 200 procedures to change to a woman, making her one of the most surgically enhanced people in the world, is facing the devastating consequences of her addiction.

Monique Allen, 58, from Orange County, California, has been going under the knife for 35 years, resulting in her being left permanently disabled.

The self-confessed surgery addict, who also had gender reassignment surgery at 22, has had nearly every part of her body altered in some way.

'I was raised here in Orange County, I had a traditional Middle Class upbringing; mother, father, sister, doggies, kitties... I knew at three years old what I was.

‘I didn't know there was a name for it, I didn't know there was a surgery for it, but I knew that I was a girl. I've had two eyelifts, I had one upper eye job, I've had more than 20 nose jobs, I've had my lips injected 20 times, I've had silicone removal eight to 12 times, eight breast jobs, sculpting of breasts and ass eight times, re-sculpting of breasts four times,’ Monique proudly states.

The total cost of Monique’s procedures comes to over $200,000 (about £121,795). 

Monique who was once a boy said....                                                                                                                       

All my friends were girls... We'd play with Barbies, with a doll house, you know... I did all the girl games and then I was 12 years old when I started dressing up. I was 17 when I told my mother, and then she told my father... I wasn't afraid at all. Surgery has never frightened me. My mother paid for it and I went to the hospital in Colorado on the train, I had my surgery and I was complete. I came back and started my life over.I was never a man, I was a boy. I never got the chance to grow into a man but if I had, I would have been a very unhappy person. I probably wouldn't be here today.
