Cassandra Cass, who lives in San Francisco, said she idolised the cartoon bombshell growing up and has had a huge number of surgical procedures to look like her, including a nose job to make her nose smaller.

But although the 37-year-old admitted she was having trouble breathing, she refused surgery to make her nose bigger saying, 'That is not Jessica Rabbit'.

Dressed exactly like Jessica Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Cassandra turned to LA-based doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif on the E! channel's reality show Botched for help.

The doctors held her sparkly carrot and fur coat as Cassandra revealed her replica sparkly red figure-hugging dress and purple elbow-length gloves - causing Dr Terry to say 'well hello!'.

Her look was completed with a vibrant red wig, purple eye shadow and red lips, and of course the $200,000-worth of surgery.

However, the doctors had bad news for Cassandra - pictured going under the knife - as they said rib removal surgery was too dangerous and in order to help her breathe better they would need to make her nose larger

Cassandra explained that she is a 'cosmetic concoction' saying 'I would say the only thing I haven't had done is my heart.'

Cassandra went on to list what she has had done, including facial feminisation surgery, brow shaving ('they unfolded my face'), surgery on her nose, lips, cheeks, breasts, hips and bum, and two Adam's apple shaves.

'And finally I had my outie made into an innie,' she added. And to the confused-looking doctors she explained. 'I used to be a Roger.'

However, Cassandra was back for more surgery.

She wanted to have ribs removed to make her waist smaller, aspiring to the unrealistically shapely hourglass figure of the sultry cartoon character, and also complained that she was having trouble breathing through her new nose.

'I was a child of the Eighties and Nineties and to me Jessica Rabbit was the ultimate woman: perfect in every way. Perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect waist. She was the ultimate showgirl,' said Cassandra

However, the doctors had bad news for Cassandra as they said the rib removal surgery was too dangerous and in order to help her breathe better they would need to make her nose larger.

But Cassandra would rather continue to suffer than look less like Miss Rabbit.

'If I have to have a nose job and make it bigger to breathe, I do not want that. That is not Jessica Rabbit,' Cassandra said.

Cassandra, who has had hormone therapy, plastic surgery, and gender reassignment surgery to become a woman, spoke about how Jessica Rabbit was a big influence on her growing up.

'I grew up in Des Moines, Iowa, one of four boys originally, I'm number three,' she said.

'Growing up in a very masculine family, I'd always make believe that I was something else and that's actually where Jessica Rabbit came into play.

Already with amazing feminine curves, Cassandra wanted ribs removed to make her waist even slimmer - but the Botched doctors told her it was too dangerous

'She was what I wanted to be and it was a way that I could escape the misery of my childhood,' said Cassandra of the cartoon showgirl

'And she was what I wanted to be and it was a way that I could escape the misery of my childhood.'

Project Runway host Heidi Klum, 42, also recently went to extremes to look like Jessica Rabbit.

She spent a whopping nine hours transforming herself into the sultry cartoon character for her Halloween party in New York.

She donned a rubber mask, a flame-red wig, and a fake bottom and chest with the help of a team of specialist make-up artists.
