A fan of pop star Justin Bieber, has spent about USD 100,000 in plastic surgeries to look more like the singer.
The 33-year-old fan, Toby Sheldon, is a songwriter, who lives in Los Angeles. He has done several procedures such as hair transplants, face fillers, a chin reduction and eyelid surgery so that he looks more like the 19-year-old 'Baby' hitmaker, reported Huffington Post.
"Once Justin shot to fame his face was everywhere and all I kept thinking when I saw his picture was, 'I want to look like him'," Sheldon said.
"It took three transplants and a total of USD 21,000 to accurately lower my hair line, close off my temples and grow back my bangs," he added.
Sheldon, who admitted that he had phobia of ageing, added, "By using Justin's charming baby face as my inspiration, I've been able to restructure my entire look to maintain a much more youthful appearance through plastic surgery.
"I didn't necessarily listen to his music or fawn over him as a celebrity, but his face was just so flawless every change I made was modelled after him," he said.
Following USD 21,000-worth of hair procedure, he underwent other procedures to his lips and face, with most recently getting a three-part smile surgery which cost about USD 30,000.
