From the FAQ on her website:
"Q2 How many operations have you really had? Reports vary everywhere from 11 to 47!
C.J. I've had nine operations. Three of those were done in the late 1980s when I was just starting out. Knowing what I know now I wouldn't have gone ahead with them. Two more of the nine ops were to correct the results of the latter. (Therefore I could have done everything in only four operations!) Some operations encompassed more than one procedure at a time, like a nose job plus liposuction and fat transfer.
In addition, I’ve had numerous relatively minor treatments including tooth bleaching, Restylane injections, thread vein removal, face peels and semi-permanent makeup. The results of these non-surgical procedures are temporary and therefore repeated regularly maintain the effect.
The tabloid media always say I’ve had more done than I actually have because they need extreme stories in their highly competitive marketplace. Then when others in the media repeat parrot-fashion what previous sources have claimed, a legend is created."
Elsewhere under My Surgery:
"Some highly inventive media folk keep 'reporting' various outlandish versions of what I've had done, claiming that I've undergone almost 50 full-scale operations and spent tens of thousands of dollars more than I actually did. (As if the truth wasn't sensational enough!) It never ceases to amaze me just how far some members of the press will go to spread confusion about cosmetic surgery to their readers.* The correct details of my surgery have been in the public domain for years and are also fully recounted in my books so there's really no excuse for such poor journalism. Once again for the record, I've had 9 operations and spent less than the cost of a new mid-range family car. Here's the breakdown:
I've had nine operations under general anaesthetic over the past 16 years. Three of those were done in the 1980s when I was just starting out. Two of the nine ops were to correct the results of the latter. (Knowing what I know now, I could have done everything in four operations!) Some operations encompassed more than one procedure at a time, like a nose job plus liposuction, lip enhancement and fat transfer. The relatively minor cosmetic treatments that were not done by surgeons (nor required anaesthetic), such as light chemical peels, permanent makeup, cosmetic dentistry, filler injections, etc., are received in-office or at a salon and are not by definition 'operations.'
*An old photograph of Miles Kendall (whose had 2 operations, each encompassing several procedures) and me dressed as Ken and Barbie is now making the 'news' rounds. We posed for it as a joke for a spoof feature in the UK's Now Magazine back in 2001. For some reason a lot of newspapers and internet gossip sites are only now running this picture as serious 'news' and claiming we've had 89 operations and spent around a quarter of a million dollars on surgery! Some of these stories have made me laugh out loud in spite of myself. But on a more serious note, I've heard from a number of patients over the years who allowed the press to 'report' on their surgery or have it filmed for television and ended up bitterly regretting it because of the way they were falsely portrayed. Considering how many hundreds of thousands of people the world over have had, or are planning to have, some form of cosmetic surgery, is it any wonder so few people admit it and even fewer are willing to go public?" -- WiccaIrish 08:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Given the above, how did she even make it into the record books in the first place? Also, I dispute this sentence: "Cindy Jackson invented the Extreme Makeover and is a pioneer in the field of anti-aging." Cite? Esprix (talk) 14:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
