Miss World Weighs Lawsuit Against Surgeon

LIMA, Peru - The reigning Miss World, Peru's Maria Julia Mantilla, is considering suing her plastic surgeon, claiming that he's stretching the truth about the work he did on her.

"He has said that I'm his product, the product of Peruvian plastic surgery, and says he molded my body, that he removed fat, and everything," the 20-year-old beauty queen told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "He's talking about things he never did."

She said Cesar Morillas, one of Peru's most sought-after plastic surgeons, did give her a nose job and breast augmentation in February 2004. Ten months later, the aspiring high school teacher was crowned Miss World in the southern Chinese beach resort of Sanya.

Mantilla denied that Morillas operated on her ears, chin, eyebrows and lips as was suggested in before-and-after photographs of her profile supplied by the plastic surgeon to the daily newspaper El Mundo in Spain.

"That violates his professional ethics," she said.

Morillas did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.

She added that Morillas had made reference to surgery he never performed in two Peruvian magazines.

Mantilla said she fulfilled the terms of a promotional agreement with Morillas to publicize his clinic in exchange for the plastic surgery but that the contract ran out in April, and he is still "looking for publicity."

"He says I am his greatest accomplishment. In other words, I'm here thanks to everything he did," she said. "I don't believe surgery changed my essence."

i believe they had sexual relations...

I think that these pagents should only allow natural beauty. If they had plastic surgury then they are not natural. Me personally dont think make-up on a girl is all that hot. I always have thought the plain face is more beautiful. Just my thoughts and opinions.

Opinions like yours make me so happy [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
and I'm not being sarcastic.

the naem of the pageant was miss world...not miss plastic surgery....

give me a chick with a pair of jeans and a t shirt...and im good

Thats the way it should be. Ive seen girls with so much makeup on you would think they was applying for a job with the circus! All natural is very beautiful to me.
