As featured on "Belieb It or Not," Toby Sheldon, 33, faced the surgical knives to look like his Idol Justin Bieber. Sheldon is a Los Angeles songwriter and a diehard fan of Bieber. The young artist inspired him to look young and had undergone chin reduction, face fillers and eye lid surgeries amounting to $100,000.
Sheldon started his physical changes at 23 when he had treatments to prevent his thinning hair. Everything changed when he encountered Bieber who was a hit singer in 2008.
Beiber's so-called youthful looks mesmerized teenage girls and Sheldon. When the "Baby" singer churned out hit after hit, his face was everywhere. Sheldon thought that he must also have a face like his idol. So he decided he wanted to look like Bieber.
Early on, he spent $8,000 on hair transplants but was not satisfied with the results.
When he met his surgeon, he brought Bieber's photograph and told the doctor how he wanted his hair to be.
With $21,000, this gave him a lower hairline, closed temples and bangs. Three transplant jobs for the hair resulted in Beiber-like hairdo.
But he wasn't finished yet. Sheldon admitted he has aging phobia. Moreover, he had to look young like Bieber.
So he aspired Bieber's baby-like face. The singer's girly face was a great inspiration so he asked to restructure his face to look like Bieber.
The fan admitted that more than Bieber's songs he admired his youthful looks. It was perfect and flawless for him.
The next procedures were botox and Aquamid injections in his temples and forehead. In 2012, he shelled out $4,850 to lift his upper eyelids.
He also underwent a three-part smile surgery to emulate Bieber's smile. For this surgery, he paid $30,000 to a Beverly Hills surgeon to get a chin liposuction to smoothen out his smile.
Apparently, Sheldon was still not happy with his looks and mentioned it was still far from his dream look.
Bieber has not yet commented on this hardcore fan's $100,000 surgery.
