A former glamour model who lied about suffering from depression to get a nose job on the NHS has created more controversy after telling her teenage daughter she needs plastic surgery because ‘ugly people get nowhere’.
Carla Bellucci, 37, is encouraging 14-year-old Tanisha to go for bum lift and breast surgery.
Her ‘advice’ was met with widespread criticism from the general public, with some people branding Carla ‘shameless’.
The mother achieved notoriety after she admitted to faking a mental illness to secure a free nose job.
When asked why she thought her teenage daughter needed plastic surgery, Carla said that Tanisha was not ‘naturally’ intelligent and would have to rely on her looks to achieve success in life.
“Tanisha isn’t the most academic of girls, so I don’t really care about her education, unlike with my boys,” she told Closer magazine.
“She will need to rely on her looks to get on in life so she will need to be perfect. Ugly people get nowhere these days.”

Carla already spends around £200 on her daughter’s appearance, which includes hair extensions, nail treatments, and eyebrow tinting. She’s now saving up the cash so Tanisha can go under the surgeon’s knife when she’s old enough.
The plans for her daughter’s new look include a Brazilian bum lift. The dangerous procedure claims the lives of one in 3,000 patients, but Carla appears to believe it’s worth the risk.
She said: “At the moment she loves the Kardashian look with the big bum and boobs and pouty lips. She’s going to get fillers when she is 16, which I fully support.”
“If she wants to be a successful influencer and reality star then she will have to fit the look of the time – so surgery is the obvious option. She’s good looking, but surgery will make her prettier.”
Although Carla is saving money to pay for the surgery, she hasn’t ruled out another attempt at getting the NHS to cover the costs.
When asked about any more potential criticism, the 37-year-old mother said that she didn’t care what people say about her milking the system because that’s what it’s there for’.
