Luka Magnotta, a male model, admits being addicted to cosmetic surgery.


For the second time in five months I had another hair transplant. I now can't feel my entire head. You may be thinking to yourself, "This guy is crazy." I am not; cosmetic surgery is an addiction. '

If you think that cosmetic surgery is just for women, then think again. More and more men are having the surgery done. My name is Luka Magnotta, I am a 24-year-old male, and to date, I have had five cosmetic surgeries done.

It first started off as a self-esteem issue with my face when I was a teen; I had acne, so I had a laser face peel. Let's just say that my face looked like a lobster after I was finished. I regretted it, and it only made the acne and my face worse. I was under a lot of pressure from peers at school and constantly teased, so I think it stems from the emotional and mental abuse I suffered from the other kids.

I then graduated into my twenties and had my eyelids done, so that I would not look old. My eyes do look better, but I lost a lot of friends because they thought I was nuts. I would get comments like, "You are way too young for that" and "There is absolutely nothing wrong with you." Maybe on the outside there wasn't anything wrong, but I could see a million different little things wrong with me every time I looked in the mirror.

After one incident at the liquor store when the clerk didn't ask me for my ID, I freaked out and thought I looked OLD. So, I got my laugh lines around my face done...I had Juviderm injections put into my face and I could not move my face for three days. It is sort of like botox. Everyone by this point was getting scared for me. I was working out all the time because I was told I was underweight. I do modeling, and the pressures of that cause me more stress, so I again went to the surgeon.

This time it was a big operation. In September, 2006 I had hair restoration, also known as a hair transplant.
