Fulvia Celica Siguas Sandoval

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fulvia Celica Siguas Sandoval is a Peruvian transsexual woman. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, her gender reassignment therapy has involved more operations than anyone else's, worldwide. She has had 64 different operations since 1979, to change her physical sexual characteristics, or for cosmetic enhancements. Over 25 of these surgeries have been on her face and neck; other changes include arm liposuction and transformations to her legs. Fulvia, who was on TV for practicing clairvoyance, hit the news in 1998, when she registered as a candidate in the mayoral elections in Lima, Peru. She reported to the news agency Reuters: "I have liked politics for a long time, but people like me have always been marginalized. Because I have been operated on, they think I am simply a queer."

She is regarded as being one of the first transsexuals in Peru and to have gained a Guinness Record as the person having undergone the most plastic surgeries of anyone in the world, until her record was broken by Cindy Jackson.

She died September 10, 2004, in her apartment in Jesus María, Lima. [1]
