Why not contact a board certified plastic surgeon where you live? Why is Turkey your only option? Here’s my situation: I will eventually need to do an upper eyelid surgery, but it has nothing to do with cosmetic reasons but purely functional. As I am aging my hooded lid is drooping and will eventually obstruct my vision. This is a hereditary from my dad who is 88 year old and already has so much excess skin over his eyelids that it is severely obstructing his field of vision. However, due to his age and health, eyelid surgery is no longer an option for him. I on the other hand still have that option available to me. If I do go forward, I am willing to pay top dollar for a top rated surgeon. I will cheap out on my clothes, makeup, other aspects of my lifestyle, but never risk my health and life to some unknown butcher in a foreign country to save some money. Plastic surgery does have it’s place, but it is still SURGERY and should not ever be taken lightly. Plastic surgery has helped so many people reclaim their lives after a mastectomy, burns, accidents, skin cancer, etc. Do your due diligence, consult a board certified professional, get a second opinion and ask questions. Stay well, stay healthy. ❤

I’m medical advisor in one of prestigious Turkish clinics . I’m getting requests from patients for this combination of surgeries DAILY especially from girls from England . When I explain that we can’t do all of it together , they still insist and find a place who will accept it and go there . Sometimes they are just shopping around and checking cheapest options for maximum treatments . I’m sorry for this all what is happening , but you also need to understand that there is a mistake in people as well. If you just google about doing bbl tummy tuck 360 lipo and breast lift together, google will tell you is not acceptable . The risk is length of the surgery ( sooo many hours for all of this ) plus how they gonna recover ? After bbl you’re recovering on your stomach and after breast you’re recovering on your back . The fact is that there are bad clinics , but the fact is also that people are not understanding what they are doing and being just budget oriented , trying to save every penny Surgeries are cheaper in Turkey than in UK , so if you’re already going to cheap place , no need to go to the cheapest of the cheapest

What do you mean lured, she chose to board that flight, she chose to stay at that hotel, she chose to go to that hospital, she chose to see that consultant and finally she chose to get that surgery done. Nothing in that was not chosen. You feel bad for someone who has bad choices!!! It's like telling a kid not to touch a hot stove ffs!!!

I’m sorry this happened to her, but seriously, this is what’s wrong with the word today. When are we going to start being accountable for our own actions and decisions? How dumb must you be to just trustingly take the word of someone online? You’re twenty years old, you can do and be whatever you like yet you choose to be a superficial social media junkie who thinks she needs a “mommy makeover” .

Adults are responsible for their actions. No sympathy.

[@LuzDoSol-yr5bv]

It's a childhood trauma. We must say to our kids how beautiful they are to validate their emotions. She is a stunning woman before anyway.

[@RA-wp6th]

True, although I also think that going on about looks could make them feel even more self conscious, and concerned with looks.

[@LuzDoSol-yr5bv]

@RA-wp6th True Again !! It's a fine line there. Only recently I learned about attachment theory and the benefits of knowing how our parents raised us. So good to rebuild self steam.

[@FF-by6ci]

That's not the answer, you should tell your kids that what really counts is their character and achievements, everybody gets old and anything can happen to your looks, you need inner strength so you don't focus on external validation and end up putting your life at risk inorder to achieve the beauty standard of society.

[@LuzDoSol-yr5bv]

@FF-by6ci True!!! It's the validation I am trying to express. Beauty is subjective, but for a child and late adults, surely that comes from parenting. She looks amazing this and her mom on that picture. Also, it's a deep root cause, plus social media as well.

[@Christopher_J]

I totally agree. Our primary responsibility to our children is nurturing. Guiding their moral framework and encouraging them to find beauty and fulfilment in altruism as opposed to obsessing over distorted notions of beauty will cut alot of the unnecessary angst they develop. The young lady here is healthy with great potential to achieve the things in life that really matter. The human aesthetic loses its youthfulness other time but good character goes from strength to strength. I hope she finds the peace she needs. ​@@FF-by6ci

Parents please teach and encourage your children to exercise, eat healthy, go out for walks. It helped me a lot that my father worked out, and it encouraged me to be like him. He was very strong, I grew up getting jobs in fitness at gyms where they allow you to use the gym for free as an employee, Also get a nutritionist if you can. As a woman our body will go through many changes throughout life, and exercise and a healthy habit of eating is very helpful.

Some surgeons make you more insecure when u send them a picture they point things out that u never thought about, but I do genuinely hope she truly recovers from any body dysmorphia, social media is just bee hives of insecurities with extreme filters, photoshop and many celebrities with a lot of surgeries but claim they never had any work done, so so so sad 💔💔.

Turkey is a beautiful country and they do take their health care very seriously. I have a very close friend, who was on holiday in Turkey, collapsed went to hospital got tests done and turns out she had a rare type of blood cancer. She has previously been complaining about fatigue to NHS for over 6 months. When she returned all was confirmed by NHS and she received chemo and still in recovery. God knows if they would've ever taken her seriously in UK until it was too late.

I don't feel sorry at all. No one forced her to be on social media 90%of her day instead of engaging with the real world. Then we have to feel sorry for her because at 20 she wants to go into surgery and be changed.....When is the social media generation going to open their eyes, get off their phones and realise real life is passing them by. She says There is more to life than just being pretty. .. What she should be saying is there is more to life than being on your phone on social media. Making real connections with people , enjoying her family, focusing on herself inside more than the outside. If she had only done that first before she flew to turkey maybe she would have loved all of herself the way she should do. But I guess that all takes time and its much easier to go get it sucked out and cut off. No sympathy
