Britney Spears' £80k body

Britney Spears is planning to spend £80,000 on cosmetic surgery.

The 'Gimme More' singer believes having a tummy tuck, nose job, chemical peel and boob job will help boost her career.

A source said: "Britney rips pages out of magazines with pictures of the perfect body parts she wants. When she sees so many pictures of her in magazines it is impossible for her not to scrutinise every detail of her body.

"She is so insecure over how much her body has changed since becoming a mother. She has said she will do whatever it takes to get back to her best even if that means getting a helping hand through surgery."

Britney's top-to-toe makeover is said to include £8,000 on liposuction for her thighs and chin, £12,000 on breast enhancement, £8,000 on a nose job, a £15,000 tummy tuck and £5,000 on chemical peels. Consultations with surgeons, dieticians and fitness trainers are expected to top up the total bill to over £80,000.

The star's friends are concerned with Britney's growing obsession over her appearance and medical experts have warned cosmetic surgery doesn't always improve self-confidence.

Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told Britain's Closer magazine: "People often think surgery will solve all their problems but it really won't. Most clinics will not go ahead with a procedure if things are not right with the patient mentally. Patients can experience terrible disappointment if they have surgery and then find nothing has improved in their life."
