Beauty contest for the artificially enhanced

It's the beauty contest where making the cut might not be everything it sounds.

Because this pageant, in Budapest, Hungary, is only for contestants who have enhanced their bodies with cosmetic surgery.

Girls can only qualify for the Miss Plastic 2010 contest if they have received cosmetic surgery and must bring in their medical notes from the ops as proof.

Judges will then rate them on their beauty - and a special medical panel will add extra marks once they have rated the quality of the plastic surgery.

The winner will go on to a face off with international contestants in Miss Plastic Universe.

Contestant Timea Kertesz, 27 - who has had boob and buttock implants - said: "It started when I was 17 and I persuaded my mum to agree to an operation to pin back my sticking out ears.

"I suddenly discovered I was much more confident and from that moment on I have never stopped improving what nature gave me."
