Turkey Facelift: £10k, 19hr Flight, Troll Scathing Review

A woman in her mid-40s from Adelaide, Australia, spent approximately £10,000 on extensive cosmetic surgery in Turkey, including a deep plane facelift, neck lift, and facial fat transfer. The procedure, which took over eight hours, was preceded by a 19-hour economy flight to Istanbul. She had saved for five years for the surgeries.

Following the surgery on February 17, she experienced significant swelling and bruising, requiring daily lymphatic massages and wearing compression bandages. A month post-operation, as swelling subsided revealing a 'more snatched' appearance, she faced harsh online criticism with some trolls suggesting she looked older. However, she expressed great happiness with her refreshed look, stating the travel and cost were worth it and that she still looked like herself.

She documented her journey online, aiming to inform others considering similar procedures. Despite receiving comments calling the surgery a waste of money or that she looked the same, she maintains a positive outlook and is pleased with the subtle yet desired changes. She previously had cosmetic procedures in Australia but found Turkey to be more cost-effective for this extensive treatment.
