A self-confessed plastic surgery addict has had more than 200 operations as part of her quest to look like a living cartoon.
Pixee Fox, 27, from North Carolina, has spent more than £500,000 on operations, including having her jaw broken, six ribs removed, changing her eye colour, four breast augmentations, liposuction, labiaplasty and a brow and bottom lift.
She’s hoping to launch her own comic book series – starring herself as the crime-fighting protagonist.
Pixee appeared on ITV’s This Morning on Monday to defend her obsession with surgery, claiming she used to be against it until she developed a ‘passion’ and resolved to become a pioneer in the field.
‘I don’t do this for vanity,’ she said on the show. ‘I am a pioneer, I am pushing the beauty industry forwards.’
Pixee Fox said she doesn’t have surgery for vanity but to realise a vision. Right, before her sugery, left, how she looks now
Pixee recently appeared in an All4 online series where she discussed how she had removed six of her ribs in a bit to become a cartoon figure
Pixee explained that her reasons for the extreme surgery stemmed from a vision she had as child that she now wants to make a reality.
‘I knew from the beginning I wanted a lot [of surgery] done. It was a process for me to go to that extreme,’ she told presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
Pixee most recently visited Seoul, Korea to get jaw surgery – and after it was broken and reset she was left unable to speak or eat for a week while she recovered.
She also explained that she had visited India to have the colour of her eyes changed to bright blue, in an extremely dangerous and ‘intense’ surgery that is not available in the US or the UK.
Pixee entered the This Morning studio wearing a black corset which cinches in her minute 16-inch waist and acts as her ‘external rib cage’.
Pixee – who’s minute waist measures in at 16 inches – is on a quest to become a world record breaker
She said the black corset acts as her ‘external ribcage’ and wants to shrink her waist down even further to 14 and a half inches
She reassured the worried presenters that she can remove it, despite reports suggesting that her spine would collapse: ‘My health is not an issue. I could take it off.’
But Pixee, who claims that her family are happy with how she looks, revealed she is hoping to shrink her waist even further to beat a world record, which currently sits at 15 inches.
‘For me this is an extreme sport. It is not for everyone, not everyone would do it.’
The former electrician defended her multiple surgeries. She explained during her appearance on This Morning that she wanted to become a pioneer in the beauty industry
The model, from North California, went to India to get the colour of her eyes changed to a bright blue
Pixee is also planning on having more extreme surgery – which she said she couldn’t reveal – but that it was something she had ‘invented’
Her claim that the surgery would be so shocking stunned presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield
The model – who was previously an electrician – says she wants to become a cartoon character and star in her own series.
She is planning even more extreme surgery, which she teased on the daytime show to Phil and Holly’s horror.
‘I am going to have a procedure that I invented with a plastic surgeon in LA. It’s from the neck up. Just you wait until you see it, it will explode’ she said.
But it was all too much for the worried presenters, who pleaded with Pixee to be careful.
