She was born December 5, 1967 in Cedar Grove, New Jersey as a man named Armand. According to Amanda, from a young age she knew she was a girl. In her early teenage years, she began designing transgender costumes for a go-go dancer. She did this in exchange for hormone pills, which helped her transition into a woman.
Interesting enough, at the age of 17, she found a legal loophole and was able to marry a wealthy man. While married she was able to undergo sex reassignment surgery to become a woman. After this, she spent nearly a decade as a housewife, however, she realized this was not the life for her so she moved to New York City.
In the early 1990's, Lepore made an impact on the entertainment world. She began working at a nail salon but also worked as a dominatrix. She also became the muse for David LaChapelle. Since their meeting in the early 90's, they have collaborated on countless projects.
She has appeared in many magazines including French Playboy and TUSH. Along with modeling, she has also been in the music industry since 1999. She released her first full-length album in 2011 titled I...Amanda Lepore. She has also released a number of singles including 2009's Cotton Candy.
Plastic Surgery
As for plastic surgery, it is easy to see what type of work she has had done. From her face alone, she has had countless facelifts, eyebrow lifts, lip injections, rhinoplasty, cheek implants and more. She's also had several breast augmentation surgeries. According to Lepore, she wanted to be a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Jessica Rabbit.
Amanda Lepore was born a man and has undergone multiple plastic surgery procedures to turn himself not only into a woman, but more of a caricature of a woman.
In fact, Amanda went from being a Jersey boy to being a cartoonish femme fatale creature in the New York City club scene. All with the help of numerous plastic surgeries...
It has to be mentioned that Armand Lepore ( his real name ) knew from a very young age that he wanted to be a girl and had a sex change operation well before he was 18 years old. Since then Amanda Lepore has had just about everything surgically (enhanced), many procedures more than once. Of course, Amanda Lepore- David LaChappelle's muse- is considered an icon in the transgender community.
The question is: "Was that look Amanda Lepore had in mind when she decided to have plastic surgery?"
Amanda once stated that she wanted to look like a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Jessica Rabbit . She certainly achieved it!
Obviously Amanda Lepore has had a LOT of plastic surgery. The whole cartoon-like woman is the look that she’s probably after, but even extreme plastic surgery like Amanda’s can be done tastefully.
To be honest, her brow lift seems heinous and very poorly executed. It appears that her plastic surgeon pulled her brow up as far as it could possibly go.
To conclude, here is a list of some of the most notable cosmetic surgeries Amanda Lepore has had done:
1. Male to female sex change
2. Breast implants (three times)
3. Rhinoplasty
4. Eye lift (multiple)
5. Eye slanting (twice)
6. Forehead lift
7. Face lift
8. Hairline lowered
9. Brow bone reduced
10. Silicon injections – Hips
11. Silicon injections – Butt
12. Silicon injections – Lips
13. Lip reduction
14. Ribs broken and pushed in
Many people find Amanda Lepore weird , scary, eccentric and many label her as "a freak of nature". To some people Amanda Lepore is like a living piece of pop-art. She certainly is in a way! She is something beyond human. That's not necessarily a bad thing...Besides, it's her face and body and obviously she seems satisfied with the result. That's the most important thing! She still makes a very good living out of her image. From my perspective, she has spent a fortune on plastic surgery to get the Marilyn Monroe-Jessica Rabbit look and it certainly paid off big time!
What do you think?
Has Amanda Lepore gone too far with plastic surgery?
Would you consider her multiple plastic surgeries a success or a failure?
Do Amanda and Sergey Share a Surgeon?
Is it just me, or are Amanda Lepore and Sergey Zverev slowly morphing into the same person?
Both Amanda and Sergey have had extensive plastic surgery, surprisingly, only one is a transexual…
Amanda Lepore Before The Brow Lift
Obviously Amanda Lepore has had a LOT of plastic surgery. The whole cartoon-like women is the look that she’s after, but even extreme plastic surgery like Amanda’s can be done tastefully. Quite honestly, I think her brow lift is heinous and very poorly executed.
