Rapper Lil Kim used to make headlines for her outrageous fashion choices and over-the-top style, but the 37-year-old hip hop star is now shocking fans with a totally different kind of makeover, and Breaking Celebrity News has exclusive details on her tragic transformation.

When Kim attended the Rip the Runway 2012 show in New York City on February 29, her distorted features made her barely recognizable as the pretty petite girl who first rose to fame in Junior M.A.F.I.A., shocking everyone who saw her.

“Lil Kim looks like a big mess. Her face and body appear to have transformed into a different person entirely,” celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, who has not treated the star, told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview.

“I suspect that she's had a lot of plastic surgery, including a nose job (or more than one) that's thinned her nose to the proportions of a popsicle stick.

“Her face appears contoured and has a waxy sheen. It appears that she's undergone injection of fillers as well,” Dr. Youn revealed.
