“I think you should never have to change yourself like that,” Alba said. “If somebody loves you, they’ll love you no matter what.”

Apparently the woman’s ex-boyfriend was obsessed with Ms. Alba, even going so far as asking her to wear a blonde wig. The upshot is that the hospital has agreed to do the surgery free of charge, in the hopes that the results will bring in business.

So what does the hospital director think?

“If she wants to look much better than she does now, for example if she wants her skin to look smoother and her overall facial facade to look more beautiful, I think we are able to help her fulfil her wishes,” Jiang said.

“But if she wants to totally look like Jessica Alba, I would think she is still not confident of herself and that she needs to solve this problem psychologically.”

Or get a better boyfriend…
