LIMA, Peru: Miss World, the Peruvian beauty queen Maria Julia Mantilla, said on Wednesday she was considering suing a plastic surgeon after he told the press he had given her buttock implants and trimmed her ears.

"The doctor is presenting photographs that have been altered and you can see, I have never had my ears operated on. I don't have scars, any doctor can come and look at my ears," an indignant Mantilla told RPP radio.
"He said he had built me, that he gave me buttock implants and fixed my ears and this is false I am not the creation of a surgeon, he just did my bust and my nose," the 20-year-old said. "So I am considering suing."
Her plastic surgeon, Cesar Morillas, one of the most sought-after in Peru, told reporters he had never claimed to be the "creator" of Mantilla.
The pair had a promotional agreement before Mantilla was crowned Miss Peru, in which she would publicize his clinic in exchange for operations. Mantilla was crowned in December 2004.
