Introducing Bryan Ray, a devoted admirer of Britney Spears who has undergone an incredible journey of self-improvement to become more like his hero. Bryan has spent thousands of dollars on more than a hundred cosmetic treatments. Despite the possibility that this may impair his vision, he takes on the dangerous task of altering the color of his eyes in an attempt to emulate others.
Online discussions around teen plastic surgery have been going strong for a while now, especially after Kylie Jenner came clean about having cosmetic surgery when she was just 17 years old. On the other hand, Bryan’s narrative started with steadfast parental support. His mother paid for veneers to mimic Britney’s grin when he was 17 years old, and then a nose operation as a 21st birthday present.
For Bryan, the goal of his transformation is to become his idol’s growing beauty, not only to reach perfection. In an attempt to realize his idea of Britney’s beauty, the 35-year-old has had many nose operations, cheek fat injections, eyelid lifts, and Botox treatments, among other surgeries. Bryan has to pay for frequent Botox injections, complete body hair removal, and a hefty investment in skincare products in order to maintain his transformed appearance.
Bryan is unwavering in his conviction that by being transparent about his experience, he would contribute to the de-stigmatization of plastic surgery transformations, even in the face of social criticism and stigma for his decisions. Although he accepts that not everyone will follow his path, he supports body acceptance and tolerance for personal preferences.
The highlight of Bryan’s adventure has been meeting Britney Spears three times. Their first meeting in Maui, where he found the pop singer to be amiable and personable, left a lasting effect on him.
