One of the most famous cases of a celebrity suing for crap plastic surgery involves former lead singer of Dead or Alive, Pete Burns. He successfully took legal action and received an out-of-court settlement for £450,000 against his plastic surgeon. Dr Maurizio Viel admitted negligence after Pete Burns had suffered adverse reactions from lip fillers continually administered to Burns. The lip implants left the former pop star with symptoms of swelling, lumps, discharge and pain.

The £450,000 payment resulted from the botched plastic surgery which the singer started to receive in the year 2000. This continued for a number of years under the supervision of Dr Viel at the London Centre for Aesthetic Surgery.

Eventually, Pete Burns had to undergo over 100 operations by specialists in Genoa, Italy, to try to correct the damage. He claimed he was left so disfigured he was suicidal. He could not eat normally and could only drink through a straw.

Burns said his career had been negatively affected as he was about to embark on certain musical projects if it were not for the botched plastic surgery. Instead he had to undergo more than 18 months of corrective surgery in Italy to try to remove the filler from his lips.

Donatella Versace is undoubtedly a worldwide fashion icon. Celebrities in the fashion industry are noted for their ever-changing looks but the transformation in this case is like chalk and cheese. This photo is a comparison of Donatella Versace before and after numerous plastic surgery procedures. It looks like two completely different women. Although the one on the left is definitely less scary.

Donatella Versace's plastic surgery included a facelift, botox, lip injections, nose job and breast implants

The Vice-President and Chief Designer at the Versace Group has extensive work done to her face, nose and lips especially. She looks like a human cartoon or someone drawn in caricature. Recently, she underwent a huge loss in weight which also revealed the presence of previously unnoticed breast implants.

Any hardcore fan of 80s music will remember the Dead or Alive’s smash hit single “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” and their lead singer Pete Burns belting out its signature tune. The song was a worldwide sensation and drew the spotlight on Pete Burn’s exotic, androgynous looks.

Dead or Alive's androgynous lead singer has huge lips

Since that one-hit wonder, Pete Burns has been in the news over the years more so for all the plastic surgery he has undergone. Apart from the ever-changing features on his face, the most striking difference over the years has been his plump plastic lips. His huge lips have gradually ballooned out over time and just looks plain weird. In my opinion, Pete Burns makes a definite case study for celebrities who have over-indulged in crap plastic surgery.
