Extreme Makeover

About the show

Who hasn’t wanted to change something about themselves? In Extreme Makeover lucky participants are given the chance to go from an ugly duckling to beautiful swan. Each participant is given a truly Cinderella-like experience, as they are able to change their looks through the skills of an ‘Extreme Team,’ including a plastic surgeon, a cosmetic dentist and a talented team of hair and makeup artists. Each episode features two people, first in their ‘before’ phase, then as they undergo their various procedures, and finally, when the results are revealed to their friends and family.

    This is one show that I have always wished I could be partof. as a young woman I was blesed with size A cups, but I made it through with my only asset of a long pair of legs that are fast crumbling. My only deisre now for an opportunity to be part of an extreme make-over show would be to have the ability to smile again, without the looks of horror and dread and hiddden ridicules.'

    I wish from the bottom of my heart that these lovely women feel whole again ofter thier make-overs, their reactions of seeing themselves as we all would like to iss nothing short of incredibly uplifting.

    I have a close freind, she has turned 50 and had no luck with relationships ever, i beleive it has a lot to do with her self esteem, and belief in herself, she has a loveley figure but is quiet tall, about 5'10", she has basically been studying since i met her 20 years ago, trying to achieve in life, but as hard as she works never seems to get anywhere. I would love to see her have a make over, she never wears makeup or does anything special with her beautiful long hair other than tie it up in a pig tail. She wears clothes that dont show her figure and thinks men arent attracted to her. I think she has Sofia Loren features, and if she was taught how to dress herself up any man would fall for her, she is so intelligent with a wicked sense of humour. But she feels like life has left her behind, i want to help but i dont know how, other than the fact that she is at presant living with me and my husband. She is a great girl who deserves a second chance at life. Please she is worth it.

    hi my name is Jessica Gorman, I am 24years old, I'm a single mother of 4 beautiful children but i've carried 5 children(miscarried with my 3rd child), I have lost all the baby weight but now i'm stuck with sagging boobs with excess skin and a stomach that hangs everywhere, I'm embarrised by my boobs and stomach im a healthy weight about 60kg. I had depression for about 4years started at 16 when i was living at my mum & stepdad's house and then at 17 i met my 2 oldest childrens father and he was abusive mentally, physically and emotionally towards me. I haven't had depression for 4years now. My teeth are over lapping each other & i don't like to smile & if i do smile or even speak i cover my mouth so no-one can see my teeth. I've been wanting to get my stomach & boobs fixed for 2years now, I hate my body so much i just want to cut off all excess skin my self because i will never be able to afford sergury with 4 kids, I will never get that sort of money. im so unhappy with my body i no that if i got a few things fixed i will be happy i haven't worn a bikini since i was 18 and never will unless i get it fixed because i don't like the way my body looks and it hurts me that i have no confidence in myself or my body and i don't want my kids seeing me upset like this anymore, I just want to look like a normal 24yr old but i no it will never happen unless i get the chance, but whether or not i ever will who knows i wish someone could help me. please understand how i feel and i hope im doing this right because i dont know how im surpose to applyy or even if you do extreme makeover in Sydney NSW Australia but i would appreciate the help to live the normal life of an 24yr old with out having to be constantly embarrised about my appearance... please help me!!!

    I wish that Extreme Makeover would do a makeover for me... I haven't been wearing any singlets or dresses with strapping for a long time... 'Cause I have something I want removed off my neck. I hardly wear makeup... I have awful looking skin... I don't have good looking well shaped teeth... And I wear glasses....

  • Karlina Saint
    October 2011

    I do believe in miracles &would be grateful if you could add me to the list as a potential person for extreme makeover for your show.I am 41 now, but would dearly love some help to improve my looks. When I was about 17 an abusive relationship meant I had my nose broken so it sits to the side and several years of annorexia & then weight gain meant stretch marks and loose skin around my abdominal and breastplates regions after losing the weight. a life that was earlier pretty tough has left its scars..I have a beautiful daughter I raise by myself and I have finally come to a place in my life where I feel safe & empowered to positive change & am starting to live the dream :) my one vulnerability however, is the physical scars from a younger world I am unable to change financially & need some direction in. I have not worn a bikini since I was about 15, & wear a bra 24hrs a day. my self esteem is such that because of loose skin, my broken nose, other facial issues I am very self conscious about getting close to any potential partner. Would it be possible to help me & if so, can you? Please?

  • suzanne
    October 2011

    Hi my name is Suzanne I'm 22. I have a huge problem with my teeth and find it prevents me from laughing or smiling in photos. I have never been to the dentist because I could never afford to go and I'm too embarrassed for any dentist to see me because my teeth are pretty bad. I also have really bags under my eyes which i feel age me. My hair is hard to maintain and uncontrollable and I really wish I could be given a chance to enjoy life and feel beautiful again because at this point of my life I feel anything but beautiful.

  • Lara63

    imagine waking up everyday with the remainder on your face all the fear and loss you felt and saw during your time in the Bosnian war. imagine looking down at your body that has failed you and causes you so much pain and grief. imagine looking down at you'r arm and seeing the scar that dents ur arms so deeply where you were shot in the war. you fled to Australia in search of happiness and hope and instead you find misery and loneliness. looking in the mirror only brings allthe painful memories to light. my mum looks 20 years older than she is. she is extremely depressed and suffers from post traumatic stress. she told me wen she looks at her self all the mirror all she sees is the pain and fear she went through. last week a significant person in her life (remain anonnymous) told her he/she can't take her anywhere as her appearance is an embarrassment! this said to a woman who has all fake teeth because the war and mal nutrition and feeling took it all away. I wish that extreme make over one day answers her prayers and makes her feel better about her self and give her an opportunity to finally enjoy her life and not be so hard and ashamed of her self.

    Hi there, Can any-one tell me how to apply for an exteme make-over, I looked all over the site and can't find an application form any where. I have many reasons for this but would rather not discuss on-line. This is a great idea and it gives hope to those of us who would never get the chance to experience a make-over due to their circumdtsnce in life. Thanks

    is the only reason people are writing in is to get free plastic surgery? Ive had braces 3 times since the age of 6, had to wear glasses since age 2, mind u with patches over my left eye to correct the right, god knows how many teeth removed, and then the ones still rotting in my mouth, yet fine, i choose to live in queensland now, and i like it, and so because i am a low income worker i have teeth rotting in my mouth... i blame no one but the government, free dental should be a necessity, so hopefully my hereditary issues might end with me...

    Hi, I've just read the desperation from all these different woman and know this may sound like just another hopeless plea for help but its my last chance. Since the age of 11 i have been in and out of Hospital, i have now had over 30 different operations and am slowly trying to create a life for myself. the last 20 years have left my body in an awful state and worse my esteem is none existent, i feel scared of public perception of myself everyday and feel constantly judge. i tried the gym but my pain still makes it difficult and all diets seem to just keep me the same. i know like everyone else i sound like i havent really tried but i am out of options and just want to be able to look in the mirror and feel proud. my past dictates my life and i want to move on. please someone, help me.

  • Kate372
    June 2011

    I am 36 years old, my partner and I work full time and we have 4 teenage kids between us. Over the course of my adult life I have gained and lost about 45 kg. I realised, implemented my own plan and succeeded at becoming a happier, healthier and lighter person on my own with little to no support along the way and now am at an awesome time in my life. My partner and I are very active and happy together and I am probably the fittest I have ever been..ever! My hurdle now is that due to the extensive stretching and shrinking of my skin, I have A LOT of stretch-marked saggy skin that will never return to its former glory..I struggle with my body image everyday as I am very self conscious about my floppy skin (think of Adam Sandler's character in 'CLICK' flipping his tummy back and forth..that's what I've got, and them some). Too many years of being overweight, lazy and generally unhappy and putting others needs before my own has left me with dodgy teeth, skin that's 4 sizes too big and a few regrets..I would love to feel as proud of my personal achievements on the outside as I do of the inside improvements. I know that we will never be able to afford the costs for me to have surgery. If there is any chance for me to receive an 'extreme makeover' I would very, very happy and eternally grateful. Thank you for your consideration.

If there is a way to apply pls let me know.

    Life sometimes does not hand you the best cards, or maybe you just play a bad hand.... An Extreme Makeover would balance out things to perfection for me and help me regain the confidence, carisma and happiness I remember having. It's all I dream of, and I'd love to be in a position to dream new dreams.

  • Lynda Iwanicki
    June 2011

    Hi, I watch extreme Makeover all the time, I have lost 8 years of my life. due to illness and I was always small, I ended up in a wheelchair, and went from 54kgs to 179kgs. I started to learn how to walk again and decided to lose the weight to make it easier to walk, I have now reached 69kgs, Just in case they bought a team of doctors for Australia, I became a recluse and focused all my energy on my two sons. And my family, My mother died last year and left me a whole lot of money in her will, but my father was heartbroken that she had done that, so I signed it back over, I've had alot to deal with in my life, abuse, low self esteem and depression. Not because of my looks, but now I want to get back into life and have a bust lift and a nose job, that got broken in an attack. My mother wanted me to be happy, as I was always there for her, she was sick all my life. I promised her I would use the inheritance to fix my nose and other bits. now I feel I let her down, by giving it back to my father. My sons are working really hard to try and save the money I would need, but I couldn't take it off them. I left my second Marriage because he was mean to them, and stayed single on purpose untill they got older. Well there older and I don't think I'll ever be able to keep my promise to my mum and I think I will be left alone for the rest of my life, I am only 44. I think an extreme makeover would give me back the confidence, that has been taken away from me. And hopefully find a loving partner. Sorry to ramble on, I don't get to talk much. lol. Anyway thanks. And if you do, do an Australian Extreme Makeover, I would at least try to Audition, My luck has to change sometime. I've lost my best friend (my mum) and she always use to say that Karma would make things equal, still waiting Karma. Lol Liketobefriscee44

    I wish I would have a chance to join in this program if possible. I am a 31 years old single mum with a one and a half year old son. Changing the look of my teeth may give me more confidence after my husband left me without saying a word 10 months ago. All the best for your TV program!

    Dear lifestyle you. I am in desperate need of a makeover. i weight 133kgs and am finding it so hard to lose the weight. I was working out on my treadmill for 90mins a day 4-6kms per day for 3 months and couldnt lose the weight. Dr checked me over and he says medically there is nothing wrong with me and that my colesterol is better then his (he is only in his late 30's). Im 26 years old i have 2 children my youngest is 11 months old. i need help to reduce my tummy and legs as i find it hard to find clothes that fit my legs. Please help me. im desperate. i can see it in my husbands eyes when he looks at me that i disgust him but i dont know what else to do i cant afford the surgery and i want my husband to look at me the way he used to!!!!!

    I would also like to apply for a makeover. My nose is huge and crooked, my teeth are horrible so that when I laugh I cover my mouth, I carry my luggage under my eyes and my breasts are also large. I am nearly 48 and ever since I can remember I have hated the way I look. I need help, so if you come to Australia where do I sign up.

    my dream come true is to have an extreme makeover i am 53 and i am married to a man 12 years younger than me i have been married once before and i have 3 beautiful children , my current husband is bipolar and is very difficult to live with he tells me that i am old fat and ugly and now i am convinced that he is true and i have lost all my confidence, especially because he always looks at younger prettier women, you can imagine how that makes me feel, as i have had breast cancer and had to have my left breast removed, that has lowered my confidence even more, i look after my mum full time and have not had any time to look after myself, i would love to walk into the room and have my husbands eyes pop out and give him no excuse to look at other women.

    Dear LifestyleYOU

    I am addicted to watching your show extreme makeover. Not an episode goes by that I do not shed a tear - I love seeing people finally confident and proud of what they have always wanted to become, which is who I am sure they have always been on the inside. I struggle everyday with the same feelings and hope that the day will come that I will be able to have my teeth fixed so that I can smile again. It has been more than16 years since I have been able to have a good laugh without covering my mouth or confidently smile or chat to someone. This does hold me back from being me as I always look grumpy. My chest and nose have also been problem areas for me for me. I do not have any boobs at all and my nose is too large for my face, for these reasons I make sure when I am out that I am the person taking the photo's to aviod being in them. I would love to feel happy in public and comfortable around the people who mean the world to me. I would love to show my two boys and close friends the confidence and happiness I know I have hiding somewhere on the inside, the person who has been missing for such a long time. Please come to Australia to help us women who want to feel like woman again. Thank you Lifestyle YOU, your people make such a difference in people's lives who desperately need it. I will keep watching and hoping for that one day.

    hi lifestyleYOU, I'm 16 years old and would love for my mum to have a makeover, however I kow she would want it more. She is 52 years old, and is a mother of 4 teen - older kids. Shes a night shift nurse which means she works during the night, comes home sleeps for a few hours, gets up and runs our full time freight bussiness, this is her weekly schedual. She has had the hardest time of her life lately with losing her eldest daughter from cancer, and 2 months later losing her best friend to cancer also. She has also lost her social life due to low self esteem, has she has let her self go. Her life is us kids and the rest of her family, she put 100% in everyday to make us happy from being in debt to quenching our thirst. Lately us kids have been wanting to give something back to our beautiful mum, and i think this would be an amazing way, as she loves watching Extream Makeover, she always seems to end up feeling happy about the other women/man cause shes knows that it works, makes them happier!
    This would be amazing opptunity not only for us but for her, as she has hated they way she looks for years, she can't bare to look in the mirror, and hates being in public.
    please help me out, I would love to see my mum smile again.

    What an exciting time it would be if the Extreme team would come downunder just like Oprah. I love to watch your program and always get teary when I see the results of the poor people that you help out. Like everyone else I have trouble spots and things I don't like about myself, but doesn't that mean, that it makes you an individual, not a clone of your former self. Well that doesn't mean I wouldn't say no to some liposuction or a tummy tuck thanks to carrying four children. Even Michael Thurmond would'nt be able to fix it.Yes I'll keep watching.

    Hello to all the miracle workers on the Extreme Makeover. I too would love to know if you are coming to Australia?

    I am a 34 year old mother of 2. Ever since I can remember, I have had "bags", excess skin under and above my eyes, and have always had flat/droopy, unattractive breasts (its like one day I had no boobs, the next, ones that hung low). Even when being pregnant, My breasts were not "perky". My cheeks and face has started to "sag" since the birth of my 1st baby four years ago.
    Im a stay at home mother with no opportunity in sight for any kind of exercise, except to dance around the lounge room, so weight is an issue too, and stay at home is what it is because Im too embassed to take my childern out. My Husband is constantly bugging me to go out and spend some quality time with him, but Im too embassed to go out with him too.... Im even too embassed in the bedroom, and this is becoming a very BIG problem.
    I would appreciate the opportunty to hear from someone to turn this OLD 34yr old wife and mother into a confindent fun mum and a happy, in areas of the home wife.

    Thank you Extreme Team, I hope to hear from you soon.

    Hi, I would love it if Extreme Makeover came to Australia.... I am really unhappy with my looks.... Especially my teeth.... I hate to smile as they are so bad.... they are black from root canal treaments... I would give anything to have nice teeth, I would be smiling all the time.... Because I don't smile very often people think I am rude and I come across very unapproachable... I want to go back to work but I can't get a job where I will be serving customers as I am ashamed of my teeth.... Please help be the happy person I once was & bring back my smile!!!!!

    Hi, love the show and would dearly love to be on it. I am 48 and have had breast cancer twice resulting in two masctectomy's. I had a flamtrap reconstruction done on my right breast but it is horrible. I also have crooked teeth and a turkey neck and am short sighted wearing glasses. My face looks like a puppet with the lines on either side of my chin. I HATE my body with all the scarring, I used to have great breasts but everytime I look at what is there now I just want to cry. My self esteem is just shot. I need help as I don't have the money for what I need done. I keep hoping I will win lotto so I can afford surgery. Please help me. J

But as a result of the weight loss i now have massive amounts of skin on my stomach, thighs, arms, and my boobs are like pancakes at 25 :( i know iv done well to get to where iam now, but i still HATE my body!!! The skin means wearing pull in pants etc ALL the time & feeling my skun rub & move around in my new daily life! Its horrible, i just want to feel like i should, Proud of my body and be able to look at myself & say well done! You guys work miracles on people & im prepared to do the hard work with you to get where i need to be, so i can leave the Old me behind...

    Hey. I totally adore your show and what you offer people. I am a 22 yr old mother and wife. I was a thin attractive 20 year old when I had my little boy. I got horrific stretch marks and sagging skin. I recall seeing a woman as bad as me on the show a few years back...i believe she was a twin. My skin is like that. My sister says i have "Nanna Boobs"....I look and feel disgusting! I feel like I should be an attractive young woman with the world at her feet...and I feel old, tired and very unsexy. I dont let my husband see me change or even have sex with me. I cry when I catch a glimps of myself in shop windows. Its gotten to a stupid extent. I dont leave the house to even take my son out because I feel fat and ugly. If you need another contestant, please please please consider me. I can send photos of my horrible body if need be. I want my life back. Not just for me, but for my little family too Elise, WA

    hi i am 59yo wife and mother. The last 5 years had been the worst years of my life ,went through menopause had marital issues got no support at all and it all nearly ended this year but for my stubborness not to give up what I had for 38 years. I had to humble myself to retain what I have and still do not know if I did the right thing but to be alone terrifies me I feel that I need a makeover of the spirit rather than the body as I feel I have let myself down in the forthcoming years as I have taken the cowardly way instead of an alternative way to be on my own and explore life as an individual. I would appreciate any comments of somebody who may have been in similar shoes and any opinions,thanks sisters

  • Christine389
    December 2010

    I watch the magnificent extreme makeovers and how they change peoples lives in so many ways. Once a photographic model in my late teens my appearance has really deteriorated due to some major health problems and eleven surgeries to fix those problems. I am now 48 and the last 10 years of extremely ill health has taken its toll physically and mentally with trying to cope with it all. I was once fit and very healthy swimming 3km per day before the health and looks took a dive. From a Broken Neck to cervical cancer and a breakdown of my entire digestive system has meant my once attractive face and very fit body have been well and truly buried as I coped with each situation. I have now reached an acceptance of all that has happened but physically its very difficult to look in the mirror or at photos of these massive changes and accept that it is me. I would love a little help to gain the confidence to able me to don a bathing suit or sportswear so I could help myself look better through exercise and at least recognize who is looking back at me in the mirror. If the opportunity arose I would love the opportunity to a little help as a recipient of extreme makeover to regain a bit of me again:-) I really need help so the outside matches in the inside, I still feel I have a lot to give but not when I look like this...kindest regards Christine - Queensland Australia

    I watched the American series a lot because I always wanted to be in the other persons position. I was always the one wishing to go through the pain of the recovery to in the end turn out looking beautiful. If only they would actually do an Australian one. I'd want my sister and myself to do it together. My sister has a cute face but she's always been so alone and never had a relationship. She now 30, with no bf, kids and our father went to the grave blaming himself. So it'd be nice to be able for to be able to have a makeover as a small thanks for all she's done. I'm only 23 and despite my attitude, I try lack self confidence and am falling apart. I've tried everything to even get half way to how I want to be but with no luck and when no one is willing to give me a chance with a job it makes things harder.

Plastic Surgery etc. Trinny and Suzzanah tried their hardest but Physically I'm still the same and makeup washes off.....Please help me.....I don't want my wrinkles anymore...do as you will...Thankyou...

    October 2010

    What do i think? Hmmmm well all i know is i have never been called pretty and thats because i'm not. Yep i know it. Even from my partner who passed away 4 years ago to lieukemia. I'm 38 and my eldest daughter had a heart transplant when she was 8, she is now 16. Lost my woman hood at an early stage in my life which wasn't by choice believe me. If it were only possible to turn back time and change the bad things. Now i'm alone working my but off and feel as though i'm going to be doing it for some time to come yet. I don't want to be wearing barely any clothes i just want to feel comfortable with what i wear and look good. I feel like a bad mother for working away from home. Yet all i want to do is be with my children. I feel like i'm fighting a battle that i'm never going to win. I struggle most days with being away but i don't let it show. When i return home i have no-one to talk to or to hold. When i hear my daughters cry on the phone it tears me apart because i can't be there to hold them. There is alot of work in the city but i think it comes down to what you look like i'm not sure or they just have more choices. Where as in the remote areas they pretty much take what they can. I don't feel sorry for myself i just push it all aside and think of my 2 girls and why i am here and keep going and staying focused yet some days are so hard. If i was ever to be chosen to go on this show i would probably drop dead from the news anyway lol....

    Hi there, my favourite show is Extreme Makeover. I was a hairdresser and makeup artist for 25 years and the best part of being in that industry is making women see the beauty in themselves.. The funniest part of bringing the best out in others is loosing the best in yourself. I have found as we as women get older we lose ourselves and with the perseption of models and magazines we either accidently or subconciously compare ourselves with those women. I have recently lost 22 kilos and still have 10 to go till i make my target weight. Im very proud of myself for doing this by myself but as a 46yr old am also confused as to what to wear and how. I have a "pouch or apron" from 3 ceasarians. It has become worse since i lost weight and my boobs appear to have gotten "longer" . You know that old joke about buying your bras from the trouser section "ill have a 34 long please". Well that appears to be me............... So I seem to be heading into another time of my life.. Im happy that i have lost weight but now im all loose and droopy.. Extreme Makeover now makes me look at an area that I have thought i never new i would. Maybe now that the kids have left home and I have a man that adores me no matter how i look its time for me.. Thanks extreme makeover for letting me know its alright to have the surgery to help the outside match up with who I am on the inside.. fi

    Dear extreme team, after wathching your show i started putting money away so I can also improve my appearence. But now all my dreams of inhancing my appearence have gone due to my defacto he is leaving me after 23 years years . Not only have I lost the chance of imroving my appearence i've now lost my love of my life. Please help show me that life begins at 40 not ends all your hopes and dreams. give me a reason to smile again.

    I would love for extreme makeover to come to Australia. I have always been roughly around 55kg and 162cm tall. I have horribly bucked teeth and very fine wispy hair (and not much of it.) I also have extremely blotchy skin, being quite pale and having red splotches everywhere. Im 27yrs old. Last year I had twin daughters and in the last week of my pregnancy weighed in at 96kgs. I had gained a total of 41kgs in 35 weeks. My body is covered with stretch marks. After my daughters were born I dropped down to 75kgs and that is where I have stayed. It is so depressing, It was hard enough before the pregnancy looking in the mirror and feeling confidant, but now after breastfeeding and baring twins, I just feel like a big old saggy bowl of cottage cheese. I would love to know when and if Extreme makeover plans on coming to Australia and if so how to apply. I dont want to feel like im 30yrs older than what i am. I want to be the happy confidant mother my babies deserve.

    Oh my gosh!
    I love more than anyting to have an opportunity to have an extreme makeover. I am nearly 30 but dress and live like a much older person. I am embarressed about how I look, I don't go anywhere and I don't do anything. I live in sunny queensland Australia and I don't even go swimming in summer - unless my in-laws make me swim with my kids :-( I dress in black everday to try and hide my 'saddle bag' hips and 'bench' butt. i have two children and I would love to have a makeover for me and for them. I am sure that if I was ever fortunate enough to have an extreme makeover, I would 'live' and enjoy life with my kids whom I love more than anything in the world, I would be happy to go to the beaches in Hervey Bay and take them to the parks, I would love them to have a much more physical and healthy lifestyle. I feel like we miss out on so much, just becuase I am so self concious about how I look, and avoid leaving the house - except for work. I get comments frequently from strangers about my bottom and hips (that is soo depressing, especially when a stranger approached me at Gym to give me tips on how to lesson my saddle bags - he isn't even an employee). When I go shopping I have to buy the next size up just to fit in my hips - that is if i can get anything that will suit my size. I am 154cm tall and have soooooo much trouble finding cloths that will suit my body shape. My poor husband doesn't get very much love because I am self concious. I am still young and have my life infront of me; I just don't have self esteem. I did lose a lot of weight, but after my son was born (9 weeks prem), we had a bit of a rough run with him and his health. I lived with my little man in the Ronald McDonald house for a about 4 weeks, finances got low and my husband had to get work away from home, so weight has started to come back. Please, Please help me and my family out. I would like to feel beautiful, young and I am sure I would be a much more happier, mum and wife. I hope that Extreme Makeover will consider comming to Australia!!! I am Desperate to live!!!

    I would love this show to come to australia!!! I want to apply my mum in this show shes 35. She is very selfconscious about her looks. She has only a few teeth on the bottom and has a little gap on the top. She hates smiling in public. She had to get her bottom teeth (exept a few) pulled out, and is still waiting for false teeth, and shes been waiting for a year now. She is flat chested, she just wants to fill out her clothes, and have the breast she had when she was younger. She's worried about getting old and her face is sagging down abit. She has come alonge way, and has given so much. I just want her to feel beautiful again and have the confidence. I think she thinks that my dad doesn't find her attractive anymore, due to no breast's and teeth. My mum does not have the kind of money to get any of these procedures done. Please Exream Make-Over HELP MY MUM FEEL BEAUTIFUL AGAIN!!

    I would love a make over and i need one as well. I am 50 and about to turn 51 on the 11th of october. I weigh approximately 10 stone but this veries; I am 5ft 7 inches tall. I find it very hard to change and so I just keep the same look as i dont really have anyone who i trust enough to help me change for the better. I try my hardest to keep up to date with the fashions but not having friends to ask "How does this look". So I just stick to the same old year after year. I am my fathers full time carer and thus I dont have the chance to just take time for myself, My father is 83 and I love him so much; that I gave up full time work to care for him. If i was not his carer ( as I am a trained carer and worked in that field for over 6 years) the doctors said that they would have put him in a home. As mum passed away in 2000 and he coped for awhile and then just slowly let himself go. I do have 2 sisters 1 who i have some contact with but the other hasnt talked to me since my mum passed. So for me to get a make over I am sure that not just me but my father would also love it . This might sound strange but he loves to feel that I am not missing out on life because of him. And I just repeat to him I care for you; as I love and need you and wish only the best for him. And he keeps getting abit upset that I dont do hardly anything for myself. And I am sure that if I did get the chance for a make-over It would boost my self esteem and also make my father extremely proud as well. I know there are alot who also deserve this chance; but I thought why not give it a go. And I am sure that the winner whom ever it might be is well deserved.

    i my self would love an ausi extream make over. im 24 and havve broken my nose at least 4 times since ie was 10 years old leaving me with a massivly ugly hunk of meat on my face, and having been teased most of my life with names such as gonzo refering to the sessme street charecter. after suffering from gaul stones from the age of 16 i became extreamly under weight after docs wouldnt belive me that i was not anarexic and that their was something wrong with my stomach and i was in constant pain which was making me throw up. it was during my pregnancy that they loked at my gaul bladder and discoverd i was telling the truth and had 30 stones removed durning my 7th month of pregnancy because i was 3 days of dying. i now have a massive scar on my stomach and am over weight as my body was starved for so long and i am unable to lose the weight having tried so many things. and coming from a family wich is mostly obece. i am suposed to wear glasses as i have eyessockets to big for my eyes and see double but my nose makes me to self concious to do so i have flat feet that was ignored by my pearents as a child like the broken nose as well, meaning i walk fu;ny and because i am so tall it is all verry noticible... when i look in the mirror i dont see me i see a body that has been neglected becuase pearents were to ignorant to see what i needed as a child and now i pay the price

    I'd love extreme makeover to come to Australia I'm 19 years old and I'm trying to get into the police force but I hate some of my traits so much that I'm trying to hold off. I constantly try and find free cosmetic surgery but with no luck but fact is I just can't afford it with my minimum wage job. I have teeth coming out of my gums above the rest and the rest are crooked and naturally discoloured, I have deep ice pick scars on my face from acne and freckles and I have strabismus in My eye which basically means I have a turn in my eye there is nothing worse when ur talking to someone and they ask if you are talking to them :(

    I watch Extreme Make Over all the time,i think it is marvelous what you people do for others.If i could have a Nake Over I would to be able to smile without my teeth falling out,or even eat out without people looking at me and laughing at my mouth,seeing my teeth popping out,because of a bogghed top and bottom false teeth replacement job that went horrible wrong,and left me with suken in cheeks that makes it hard to talk and smile.Also a broken Nose from a Broken Relationship !! I have also had Seven Children and an exess amount of wobly belly that i ca'nt lose,iam 55 and have no life,and i would like to find a special person to spend the rest of my time with but have no Confidence at all i ca'nt even look at people,when i look in the mirror i see a White Haired Witch some might say at my age why bother,but sitting at home 24/7 is so depressing,I would lke to be happy in the last part of my life,Igot no hope of finding a Soul Mate looking like i do I would be ever so gratefull for a second chance at living.

    If Extreme Make Over ever came to Austrlia I would love for you to help my wife. She broke her two front teeth at the age of 9 from balancing on a basket ball on a concrete slab. She also has a few moles on her face that makes here feel like she looks like a witch. She just turned 30 this year and is a wonderful mother of our two little one and my son from a previous marriage. She watches Extreme make over nearlly everynight wishing she lived in America to apply. It would really help her confidence I also think that with a little help that she feels she needs, she would see the beautiful woman that I see as her husband as well as everyone else around her

    I have not long turned 20 and i always have people say i look in my 30's. It hurts because they really belive iam. i had an operation on my ears 6years ago to bring them in but it didnt work, i feel ugly and before anyone sees me i have to put on a ton of make-up just to able to show my face. I stay at home rather then venture out because i feel like everyone is judgeing me i know im no hollywood starlet but it would be nice to be looked at lease normal.

    Yes all of us would love a makeover especially the very insecure, but to get chosen is another thing is this still happening and how would you apply especially if living in Australia.
    i would do anything to be able to be chosen, i have been insecure my hole life and that is no joke, to be chosen and to beable to have a chance it would mean a hole different outlook on life and a hole different feeling to life.

    It would be great for there to be a similar show like this made in Australia. It would be nice to help out some of us Australians and for the surgeons to promote their work. There are alot of dodgy surgeons here and at least through the show we can see the surgeons work and we will have confidence in them should we want to go to them for a procedure. I watch Extreme Makeover ever week night and I am so happy for the people that go through it as they always come out looking stunning. It gives me great joy to see them so happy with their results.

    June 2010

    I would love to have an extreme makeover for many reasons. First and foremost, my nose. What else can apart from it's ugly, big and has been a big issue I've had to deal with since high school. Unfortunately, I was the target for a group of boys who teased and ridiculed me on a daily basis. Even though my high school years are well and truly over, those scars have remained. I hate looking at myself in the mirror daily and when I do I continuously remind myself that I am ugly. My hairdresser only recently now cuts my hair with my back turned from the mirror as she knows the struggle I have when I have to look up and face myself and see that reflection.
