A Japanese porn starlet who underwent plastic surgery and was cruelly nicknamed Harry Potter's pet elf Dobby has defended herself against her critics.
Rina Nanase says people who dubbed her Dobby because of her similarity with the house elf from the Potter books are just jealous of the surgical shaping she has undergone.
The 25-year-old actress, who goes under the name Rumi Kanda in her adult videos, made no secret of her decision to cosmetically alter her looks.
Before the surgery
In a process that she began chronicling via Twitter late last year, Nanase has made a number of changes to her eyes, nose, and chin. Now that she has shared photos of her "finished" look, however, many are calling it "way too much".
After the surgery
On a picture of her looking healthy and alive at 17 which she posted online she wrote: "I look fat," and had "beady eyes."
The model then shared another photo, looking back at what she considers her "idol era prime."

The photos were shared as she was undergoing a nose lengthening procedure. Nanase says that she didn’t feel it was a particularly big change, but was surprised at the reaction she got from followers.
A photo tweeted earlier this month earned her the Dobby nickname. On social media sites there was little in the way of positive comments for her new look.
One wrote: "She looked great before, the person before the surgery was very nice." Another added: "Does she have an eating disorder?"
