Script
A 22-year-old girl, Pamela Jones, is to undergo six months of plastic
surgery on her entire body in a bid to transform herself from an \"ugly
duckling\" into a beauty.
She went under the knife for the first time on Monday and hopes her new looks will lead to a career in films after the long surgery. A crack team of plastic surgeons has been brought together for the operation, which is being financed by an unnamed sponsor. The surgery began on Monday with the creation of a double eyelid for Pamela and making her nose tip more pointed. Then they will remove the wrinkles from her neck and make her face thinner. Other operations will adjust her jawbone and work on her breasts, abdomen, bottom and legs.
Pamela said beauty was not the most important thing and that a noble character should be prized more highly in a person. But she added, \"Nowadays it is technically possible for me to become more physically beautiful. If I can become beautiful both inside and outside, why not?\"
But Pamela, a fashion writer and jewelry dealer, is not without worry about loss of her original appearance. She has not dared to tell her parents of her plans for cosmetic surgery although her boyfriend is fully behind her decision to go under the knife.
Dr. Bruce Carson, who will lead the operating team, said they have a picture of the future beauty they hope to turn Pamela into. He also said her new
appearance would last for between three and five years.
