Plastic surgery failed to help a forty-something lady, alias Xue
Lan, in her quest to look like Hong Kong star Lydia Sum.

Sum
A successful entrepreneur with three clothes stores, Xue Lan
wanted to make herself look more like a wealthy lady and decided to
remodel her face to look like Lydia Sum after years of being a
hard-core fan. She says she has always wanted to do something to
compensate herself for all her years of hard work.
The Chutian Golden Post reports Xue Lan was inspired by
the story of a man in Wuhan city in Central China, who successfully
altered his face to resemble the TV host Li Yong. She consulted the
hospital that treated the man to see if they could help her attain
her dream.
But the surgeons told her it would be impossible to transform
her face to look like Lydia Sum because their features are
completely different. He persuaded her to try some procedures that
would make her look younger and prettier instead.
Hospital Director Zhou Libo says only a few people can use
plastic surgery to resemble stars and advises people to make more
rational choices in relation to plastic surgery.
