Alan, a 20-year-old from Japan, spent $150,000 on plastic surgery in the span of just one year.

After being teased in school for his effeminate looks, he wanted to permanently change his face. He chose to model himself after Michelangelo's Renaissance masterpiece, David. Alan wanted look "foreign" and have an "ageless face" and felt "the ideal is the Statue of David."

I'm not sure how much Alan face resembles that of David's, but he certainly looks nothing like his former self. He has had various surgeries – two on his nose, one on his eyes, several lift-and-tuck procedures to remove and prevent wrinkles, and injections to alter the shape of his chin.

Alan left home and moved to Tokyo at the age of 16. Once there, he became involved with at least five older women who have sponsored all his beauty treatments.

Alan is consumed by his own appearance. He constantly monitors his face by taking at least 1,500 selfies a month – he has 4,000 pictures of himself on his smartphone. He has said that he wants to use plastic surgery to become more beautiful than anyone else and doesn't care if he's respected or not – he just wants to look good.
