Woman who calls herself a 'human guinea pig' reveals her biggest regret after spending $100,000 on plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures

An adult content creator has revealed the biggest regret she has after receiving $100,000 worth of plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.

Alix Lynx, an Instagram model from New York, claims to have had three breast enhancements, two nose jobs, and upper blepharoplasty.

Combined with other various cosmetic procedures, Alix, 36, tells Daily Mail she is 'like a human guinea pig' because she has tried 'so many different' beauty trends. 

However, she says if she could go back and do it all again, she would choose to be more careful about which doctors she paid to put her under the knife.   

'If you're going to take the time and effort to get a procedure done... I would strongly advise splurging a little more and going to a specialist,' she advises.

She goes on to say she has had so many procedures 'because these people were cleaning up the messes that others had made'. 

'In a perfect world, I'd only be on my second pair of breasts, which is because I choose to replace them once every ten years,' she adds.

'It makes me feel safe, though I know some people have implants for twenty years; that's not my preference. But even then, I would have had fewer procedures overall.

'I feel that just going to any random plastic surgeon with good reviews, rather than taking the time to find a legitimate specialist, is a mistake. 

'A specialist has more clocked-in hours doing that specific procedure. That simple step would save me so much time and money over the years.'

She says the same goes for filler, adding that certain areas of the face require a particular type of filler, but that some clinics 'just use a cheaper filler everywhere'. 

'A mistake people make is that, yes, this stuff is expensive, but you do, to a degree, get what you pay for,' she says.

'I wouldn't go to a random general physician's office that just happens to do filler.'

She continued: 'It is worth taking the time and energy to do your research if you are going to be more budget-friendly, which I think most people want to be.'

Alix goes on to say she would also never 'do the nose filler again' saying she once tried it 'as a non-invasive alternative to a nose job'.  

'It can actually be really dangerous. The problem is that you have to keep getting the filler, and over time, it distorts the shape of your nose,' she says.

'If you're going to put a temporary fix on something like this, you might as well just get the nose job. 

'With the filler, you're paying around US$800 (AU$1,136) per syringe, and that cost keeps multiplying because you'll have to do it forever. 

'A nose job might be a lot more upfront, but then you're one and done, and you don't keep messing around with your nose.'

Alix first had a breast augmentation done in 2012, before following it up with two more in 2016 and 2022 due to complications, spending a total of US$30,000 (AU$42,624). 

She received her first nose job in 2011 'because my nose was broken a few times and it was incredibly crooked and big'.

'I was having a really hard time breathing, so I went to a regular plastic surgeon,' she revealed in a TikTok video recently.

'He did a fine job, but looking back, I would have gone to a specialist, and because then I wouldn't have needed a revision.'

She splashed US$32,000 (AU$45,000) on a rhinoplasty revision with a specialist in September, and in 2024 spent $10,000 ($14,000) on an upper blepharoplasty - surgery on the upper eyelid.
