28-Year-Old's Facelift Sparks Outrage on Live TV
24 Nov
Summary
- A 28-year-old woman underwent a $10,000 facelift and other surgeries in Turkey.
- She began cosmetic procedures like filler and Botox at age 24.
- A plastic surgeon advised against such procedures for young individuals without underlying conditions.
A 28-year-old woman's decision to undergo a comprehensive facelift, brow lift, and breast augmentation totaling $10,000 has drawn significant public criticism. Appearing on a morning television program, Jade Mandongwe shared her motivations, citing a desire for rejuvenation and a more refreshed appearance, influenced in part by societal pressures and social media filters. She began non-surgical cosmetic treatments like Botox and fillers at 24.
Plastic surgeon William Townley, also featured on the program, expressed reservations about such extensive procedures for young individuals. He highlighted that facelifts at this age are not addressing aging but altering appearance, with potential complications lasting longer due to the patient's youth. Townley noted that UK surgeons tend to be more conservative, prioritizing confidence without drastic changes to one's natural look.
The segment generated substantial backlash on social media, with viewers calling the broadcast 'irresponsible' for giving a platform to such early cosmetic surgery. The surgeon also pointed out the significant cost difference, with similar procedures in the UK potentially costing much more than Jade's $10,000 expenditure in Turkey, underscoring the financial and personal stakes involved.
