She looks like she’s gone ten rounds with Rocky - but it’s only the  beginning  for Brigitte ‘We Can Rebuild Her’ Nielsen.

Over two million Germans tuned in on prime-time TV to watch the latest  reality  show shocker - the ex-wife of Sly Stallone getting a total  plastic-surgery  makeover.

Brigitte, whose breasts stayed buoyant while her movie career sagged,  signed  up for the ultimate in questionable taste telly; going under the knife in  a  bid to look young once more.

Boob lift: Brigitte Nielsen prepares for her live surgery

The viewer is spared no excruciating detail: fat is vacuumed from her  thighs,  her eyes are Botoxed and those famous upper-assets - she calls the left  one  Titsi and the other one Tatsi - are being drained of their silicon to bring   her down to more manageable proportions.

Nielsen hopes to   revive both her looks and her career prospects at the hands of German plastic   surgeon Gerhard Sattler.

'I know I am the first female celebrity in the world who has allowed  herself  to be ilmed like that in an operating theatre„ said Brigitte, 44.  

Under the knife: Brigitte recovers from surgery

'I know I  will be breaking a taboo. But I’m sure that it will provoke a new  discussion.  It’s time things change. I feel 30 and want to look that way  again.'

The show is entitled  “From Old to New; Brigitte Nielsen in the Celebrity Clinic” and viewers  will see Brigitte in upcoming episodes also get new   teeth and watch every incision and injection as she is remoulded from her head to her  toes.

Brigitte is no stranger to cosmetic surgery.  At the end of this  highly public  bout, however, she hopes she will make the grade to be able to  strip off for  Playboy at year’s end, 20 years after she first graced the mag’s  cover.

Satisfied customer: Brigitte admires the results

According to a statement released by RTL, the Dane also wants to send out a   message about the secrecy around plastic surgery.

'The secrecy in Hollywood is   annoying. You can see that the stars do not age naturally. It's not right that   the fans, the normal women, are lied to," she said.,   "I'm getting a complete renewal: facelift, eyelift, fat injections in  my  face, liposuction, a breast lift and I need new teeth.'
