He spent $76,000 to make himself seem like the “perfect woman.” Fulvia Pellegrino, a transgender woman from Italy, claims she is having trouble making ends meet while she attempts to undergo a full physical transformation.
Fulvia has spent about $80,000 on surgery with the full backing of her loving wife Marisa. This includes more than 150 lip and cheekbone fillers, four bre*st implants, and two rounds of liposuction.
Everyone strives to be their best self, which, for some, includes their physical appearance. Or at least what we consider to be “looking good.
” Trying to improve one’s self-esteem might include anything from trying a new hairstyle or pair of shoes to dieting and exercising.
But this isn’t satisfactory to everyone. But if there’s anything we’ve learned about cosmetic surgery over the years, it’s that it’s not just about making a person look completely different than they did before.
Some individuals have cosmetic surgery so they can finally be at peace with how they appear. As long as it doesn’t endanger our lives, everyone should be free to alter their look in whatever way they see fit. Our bodies, to put it simply, are our own.
Of course, there are individuals that go a step farther and try to completely alter their appearance. Fulvia Pellegrino, 62, is one such person.
Fulvia, or Fulvio, is an Italian citizen who was born in Alba. When she was 15, she began to suspect that she was transsexual, but her conservative religious family made her conceal the secret.
According to Fulvia, “I am not content with my ‘ideal’ figure since it is not perfect. And then there’s perfection. She married Marisa 32 years ago, but even Marisa didn’t know who she really was.
She went to g*y clubs and changed into women’s clothes in their garage after hours, while being a happily married, dedicated husband by day.
She said, “I was feeling confined by my physical form. She told the Mirror, “I hid in the garage and put on make-up and dressed like a woman.”
I was too ashamed to let anybody see that part of myself, so I never did. By purchasing g-uns and flashy vehicles, Fulvia aimed to portray himself as the utmost public hyperbole of masculinity.
It’s hard to grow up in a body that isn’t your own,” she remarked. You play football and drink beer and purchase American 4x4s and go shooting to try to hide it from her, she added.

“Instead, you realise it’s a mask and that to be true to yourself, you must abandon it.” Twenty years ago, Fulvia finally informed Marisa that she wanted to transition since she could no longer pretend to be someone else.
She stated, “Clearly Marisa lost it for a moment, it is not easy to accept.” At this point in time, Marisa and I are no more than sisters. We have a home together, and we quarrel like any other married couple.
With the aid of therapy, Fulvia started the transition process and eventually accepted her new appearance.
Her husband and two brothers loved and welcomed her, but none of her parents could see her for who she really was. It’s impossible for me to function without Marisa,” Fulvia said.
Fulvia said, “My father asked my wife to sign a paper to have me committed to a psychiatric institution in the hopes that it would help me change my mind.”
When my dad died, they wouldn’t allow us attend the funeral because they were embarrassed.
Fulvia persevered with her transition and incurred enormous medical bills, including a butt lift that cost £22,000.
Since she is no longer employed, Fulvia has had to sell her guns, vehicles, and French home in order to make ends meet.
People made fun of her while she resided in the northern Italian town of Peveragno. I have been dubbed “Peveragno’s Clown.
” Pellegrino told Barcroft in 2016 that people “point at me, talk about me, and start inventing stories about me that I am a prostitute.” “Everyone I knew before disappeared; they just didn’t accept me.”
“If I get there, maybe I can stop.” One’s personal appearance is entirely up to the individual. When it comes to other people’s bodies.
I don’t pass judgement. Human diversity enriches life on Earth; we must all accept one another’s right to pursue happiness in whichever way they see fit.
However, there are hazards associated with cosmetic surgery, and patients who are unhappy with their results may seek further treatments. This may be a dangerous downward cycle.

Fulvia, however, does not share this view. People like myself need cosmetic surgery, but that doesn’t make it a dr*g. I don’t like the way my face looks or the rest of my body,” she admits.
I don’t want to stop here, even if it’s not ideal. Perhaps I will quit striving for perfection. If you watch the video, you may get a glimpse of Fulvia before she had all the plastic surgery and injections; it’s a very wild sight. To think it’s the same individual is mind-boggling.
