Despite investing £7,000 in a mummy makeover, I now regret my decision vehemently – I find myself yearning for my former, fuller figure.

In a shocking turn of events, a woman who spent nearly £7k on a tummy tuck in Turkey confesses she made a "big mistake" and yearns for the days when she was "plump." Chantelle Woolston, a mother of two from Southampton, had initially hoped her "mummy makeover" wouldaddress the loose skin left after she lost almost half her body weight through a gastric sleeve.

Five years ago, Chantelle visited Istanbul for a gastric sleeve operation and rejoiced at the 10-stone weight loss that shrunk her from a size 18 to a svelte size 8. However, she was left with an abundance of skin, compelling her to search for solutions online.

Chantelle stumbled upon a surgeon in Izmir, offering a back lift for a bundle price of £6k. A hopeful Chantelle scheduled the procedure for February this year. Yet, her euphoria rapidly vanished when she awoke from anaesthesia post-op, knowing she had erred gravely.

Now, two months on, Chantelle can scarcely stretch her skin without fear of it ripping apart. She laments that her stomach has become as hard as a block, and she wishes she had never opted for this clinic. In retrospect, she wishes she had spent more time investigating and would have avoided this establishment if she could.

After her gastric sleeve surgery in 2020, Chantelle felt disheartened by her reflection. She described being confronted by saggy breasts and rolls of fat. She confessed that she did not feel attractive and longed to appear presentable. Pursuing a change for herself, Chantelle sought surgical options and was hopeful of a second success in Turkey.

She sought out a different surgical procedure since the initial medical team was no longer available. Chantelle spent countless hours on the internet, perusing testimonials. Encouraged by the overwhelming positivity and the images of stunning women flaunting their post-surgery figures, she wondered if she too could achieve similar results.

It was only after she made the deposit that Chantelle began to spot red flags in the comments, but she persisted nonetheless and jetted off to Turkey with her husband, Marc, a maintenance worker. However, she felt apprehensive and said the atmosphere felt rushed.

Chantelle noted, "It was liketaking a conveyor belt ride. When I came to, I felt miserable. I perceivedI had made a terrible mistake."

Chantelle has since reached out to the clinic and they advised her to exercise patience and trust the process. She yearns to caution others before they make similar blunders. Her message to potential patients is to always "trust your instincts."

While the clinic maintains that healing can take anywhere from three to six months, Chantelle believes her appearance will not markedly improve. She has advised women to exercise caution and think critically before making decisions that may have long-lasting consequences on their lives.

The clinic stated, "Although we aim to offer patients ample time to review and sign the necessary documents, the hurried nature of the pre-operative schedule may encourage a sense of urgency. Post-operative recovery varies from patient to patient, and swelling, tightness, and temporary asymmetry are common during the initial stages. We advisepatients that full healing may take months. Terms like 'dog ears' or 'gathered skin' may describe normal swelling or suturing techniques that improve over time. Regardless, if a patient voices concerns during follow-ups, we are committed to examining and reassuring or taking corrective action if necessary."
