Everyone wants to reverse signs of ageing - but one woman goes to extreme lengths to prevent herself from getting old and injects herself with healthy donor fat.
Marcela Iglesias is no stranger to having a controversial procedure and has been labelled as a "human Barbie" after undergoing extreme beauty treatments to ensure she never looks old.
The 47-year-old previously told how she was planning on having a blood transfusion from her own son, Rodrigo, 23, in an effort to stay young and has now forked out a whopping ÂŁ9,000 to have someone else's fat injected into her face and body. Something she said is the "future" of the beauty industry.

The strange treatment, known as Renuva, is derived from donor tissue, and is stripped down so it only contains occurring proteins, collagen and growth factors and is injected into the beauty buff. "I'm really excited about this new treatment because it is the most natural way to restore your own fat," she explained, and added: "It has made me look more youthful and plump."
Marcela said people are "tired" of fillers because they know "it's just filler" and it "doesn't restore" anything. The cosmetic lover has already spent over ÂŁ89,000 on treatments over the years, and has been injecting her face, hands and legs with the substance to add volume to her skin.
And the social media star couldnât be happier with her results. Marcela, who is originally from Buenos Aires, said: "I have done two treatments on my legs, one on my temple and one on my hands. It is amazing how I can see my own body reacting to it.
"It has truly been a game-changer for me, as I can look like myself again without going under the knife or adding fillers. The procedure doesn't require any recovery time and you'll see the results right away â it's like magic in an hour."
However it doesn't come cheap, and the fat costs around ÂŁ840 per 1.5ml and depending on where the fat is injected, 3ml is typically administered per session. But for business owner Marcela, she revealed she spends ÂŁ780 a month on IVs, wellness injections, vitamins and creams.
Marcela also makes sure she keeps to a strict diet and daily routine in order to keep up with her youthful appearance, and it seems to be paying off as she said people are "shocked" to learn that she has a son in his early 20s.
"People say I am far too young to be a mum. They constantly ask me what I do to stay looking so young. It feels great that people recognise the work that I have put in," she added.
