The retired government worker – who has had more than 200 hundred plastic surgeries – became obsessed with pumping liquid plastic into her body . And she estimates she has injected almost 12 litres during 75 backstreet operations.
Over the years , Monique has had a staggering 23 nose jobs and nine breast augmentations – taking her to a whopping bra cup size 38 FFF.
But after decades of reckless operations , Monique wants to speak out about the dangers facing unsuspecting women desperate for a quick fix.
‘ I went in at the deep end with cosmetic surgery and I ’ ve ruined the natural good looks I had – I wish I had never done it, ’ admits Monique.
‘ I ’ ve probably had around 200 operations over the years , many of which I can ’ t remember .
‘ More and more people are dying from illegal silicon injections – many of them young women . I want them to look at me and see the dangers. Now I struggle to walk and am registered disabled . I ignored the risks and now I have to live with the results .
‘ I have severe circulation problems caused by silicon migrating to different parts of my body . Some skin on my legs has died , which I have to cover over with make - up . ’
And she admits that even though her surgery addiction has resulted in her extreme appearance , she still craves one more nose job .
Monique Allen
Plastic surgery addict Monique Allen , 58 , was left disabled and disfigured after almost 100 unregulated cosmetic procedures .
The retired government worker – who has had more than 200 hundred plastic surgeries – became obsessed with pumping liquid plastic into her body . And she estimates she has injected almost 12 litres during 75 backstreet operations.

And she admits that even though her surgery addiction has resulted in her extreme appearance , she still craves one more nose job .
Born a man , transgender Monique had gender reassignment surgery when she was 22 years old and soon after , achieved the D cup breasts she desired through surgery.
She next turned her sights on her nose , which has been an obsession over the years .
But after turning to silicon to enhance her curves , Monique became hooked and began seeking out treatment with unregulated doctors .
Twice - married Monique, who is now single , said : ‘ In my twenties and thirties , as soon as I had a couple of hundred dollars I would head to Tijuana to have illegal silicon injections .
‘ The doctor would numb you , then attach a funnel to whichever part of your body you wanted , then screw a vial of silicon on and pump it in .
‘ I was so reckless , but I was obsessed with having more, ’ admits Monique. ‘ Once I saw a dark cloud appear under the skin where the silicon was going in – but even that didn ’ t faze me .
‘ I was completely addicted and unwilling to think of the risks . My family begged me to stop but all I cared about was having more.
‘ Even now , I would like anther nose job but doctors turn me away , but I understand why , ’ she continues. ‘ I ’ ve come to the realisation that I have a problem and I ’ m taking steps to address it. ’
According to the lifedeathprizes, over the last few years , the Los Angeles resident has spent more than £ 100 , 000 having silicon removed from her legs, bottom , cheeks and chin.
‘ Silicon was never meant to be put in the body in such large doses as is common now , ’ says Monique. ‘ I ’ ve heard of
“ pumping parties” where people go to have vast amounts of silicon injected into their bodies .
‘ I want young women to look at me before they think about getting unnecessary and dangerous cosmetic work done .
‘ A lot of this stems from low self -esteem , which is something I am now coming to terms with. ’
