Xochytl Greer, 36, from Texas, went under the knife four months ago to?rid?herself of excess fat on her stomach and have a nose job — in a bid to look like the Duchess of Sussex.

Greer承認(rèn)，不管她怎么化妝、怎么打扮，她都“永遠(yuǎn)不好看”。

Surgeons performed a rhinoplasty, liposuction on the stomach, inner and outer thighs, a butt lift, fillers under the eyes, lip filler, jawline filler and Botox. Now, the lawyer says she feels — and looks — like a princess.
外科醫(yī)生進(jìn)行了鼻整形術(shù)、胃和大腿內(nèi)外抽脂、提臀、眼部填充物、唇部填充物、下頜填充物和肉毒桿菌素?，F(xiàn)在，律師說(shuō)她覺得——看起來(lái)——像個(gè)公主。

Greer has even claimed her daughter Isla, 23 months, now shouts “mommy, mommy” whenever seeing pictures of Meghan.
Greer甚至聲稱，她23個(gè)月大的女兒Isla，現(xiàn)在每當(dāng)看到Meghan的照片都會(huì)喊“媽媽，媽媽”。

“When I look in the mirror, I’m happy again. I still see me, but a better version of me. I’m at the point where I feel I can put myself out there in the world again.”
“當(dāng)我照鏡子的時(shí)候，我又能高興起來(lái)了。我仍然能看到我，但是一個(gè)更好的我。我正處在我覺得自己可以重新融入這個(gè)世界的時(shí)候?！?/div>

“I had very big self-confidence issues, but now I feel I can put on a nice dress and don’t need to wear much makeup because I feel great,” Greer said.
Greer說(shuō)：“我曾嚴(yán)重缺乏自信心，但現(xiàn)在我覺得我可以穿上漂亮的衣服，不需要怎么化妝，因?yàn)槲腋杏X很棒?！?/div>
