51 Surgeries To Look Like That?!?

Filed Under: Knifestyles

We don't want to call someone crazy for having 51 surgeries in an attempt to look like an ancient Egyptian ruler, but we're not sure what else to call it.

Nileen Namita has spent over 20 years of her life trying to make herself look like Egypt's Queen Nefertiti. In fact, Namita has spent around $300,000 on facial plastic surgery to look like the Beauty of the Nile.

Talk about being a loca determined!!

And the 49-year-old and mother of three says she's done it all because she knows that in a past life she was actually Queen Nefertiti.

A breakdown of her surgeries consists of eight nose jobs, three chin implants, five eye surgeries, three facelifts, six mini-facelifts, two lip surgeries, and several other operations. And she even claims to have more surgeries scheduled for the future.

According to Namita:

"They were visions of incredible intensity - I could see where she lived, her servants, her rooms, even the food she ate - and although at first I found the dreams frightening, I began to research what they meant. Aged 23 I underwent psychoanalysis with a counsellor. Slowly I began to realise that I was having these dreams because I am a reincarnation of Nefertiti. A few weeks later I saw a picture of Nefertiti for the first time and I was struck by how familiar it was. I know some people will find it hard to understand why I have put myself through so much surgery, but by then the visions had become even more powerful, I decided to remodel my face so I looked like a modern version of Nefertiti. It was a way of allowing that part of my personality to show itself."

It gets even better!

She adds about her "youthful" look that:

"I am fortunate in that I have good genes. I don't have any cellulite and have never had to diet but because I didn't want to look unnatural with an older body and a younger face, I do eat very healthily. No one believes I am almost 50 years old and have had three children because my body and face look as through I am only 25. Now when I go out, I gain attention from men much younger than me - often they are in their twenties - because I look so youthful. I am sure some people will disapprove of me having so many operations but I believe my look is ageless and timeless. Seeing myself looking so much younger makes me feel young and energetic."

And although the former ruler has yet to visit Egypt in this lifetime, she's writing a book about her life as the modern Nefertiti.

But instead of spending so much money on trying to look like Nefertiti, why not have spent the money on visiting your past kingdom?
