I’ve got a new body and face, Lisa Turner, 34, is a businesswoman and mum to eight\u2011year-old Samuel. They live in Beaconsfield, Bucks. Lisa had a breast lift and facelift after her fianc\u00e9 left her for another woman last Christmas. She says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About two weeks before last Christmas I discovered that Samuel\u2019s father, my fianc\u00e9, had been having an affair with a 24-year-old woman. It made me feel doubly awful that she was nine years younger than me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Day was horrible. I\u2019d got a houseful of family and friends, my oven decided to stop working and I was so upset about facing the new year as a singleton again at 33.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My little boy caught me in tears in the kitchen preparing the turkey and when he asked why I was crying I had to tell him it was because I\u2019d been chopping onions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But somewhere amid my misery I decided to take action \u2013 there was no way I was going to have another Christmas as sad as that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters I sold the house because I wanted to get away from the bad memories. Then I turned my attention<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to my appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was breastfeeding Samuel my breasts had gone up to a GG-cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually they settled down to a D-cup but they were never as pert and I always said that one day I\u2019d get them lifted. So this year I did. I went to the London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic where cosmetic surgeon Dr Ayham Ayoubi told me the most effective way to get the breast lift I wanted was to have Smart Lipo<\/a>, where a tiny laser is inserted into fatty tissue to melt it before it is sucked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi has performed this just around the sides under my armpits where there was a little bulge over my bra strap. Then as the area healed and contracted the breasts lifted. I was absolutely stunned when they lifted an entire 12 centimetres in the weeks after the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I now have fantastically pert breasts. I had it done under local anaesthetic on August 16 and went out the same night to celebrate a friend\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next I was on a mission to sort out my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collagen Stimulation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi suggested the Double V Knifeless Facelift. He injected Collagen Stimulation, a filler that stimulates natural collagen production, into the jowl lines and in the V-shape that covers the eyebags and upper cheekbones. I had three lots of treatment four weeks apart, the last one just a few days ago. Even though the effects will increase as more collagen is produced already so many people keep telling me I look great. The Double V Facelift should last up to five years. This Christmas I feel transformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve got rid of my eye bags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesley Walsh, 60, is a retired hairdresser and lives alone near Manchester. She has had her eye bags removed, an eyebrow lift and a full facelift. She says: I look younger now than I did in photos taken at Christmas 20 years ago. Last Christmas I didn\u2019t go out as I looked so old. I\u2019d got these awful eye bags and my neck had begun to sag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always been a sun worshiper so my skin suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned 60 in January this year, too, so I thought it was a good time to think about having some surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a consultation at Surgicare (www.surgicare.co.uk<\/a>) in Manchester which recommended an eyebrow lift, blepharoplasty (eyebag removal) and a full facelift. I had the eyebrow lift first which was painful \u2013 the surgeon made tiny holes at either edge of my eyebrows into which he inserted a metal rod then literally pulled the muscle up and secured it into place. I had to allow my face to settle and recover from that before having any more work done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family said I was mad and my children told me I looked fine as I was. But I didn\u2019t feel good about myself. Two months later I went back to the clinic for the facelift and eyebag removal. I also had the hoods of skin removed from the tops of my eyelids to open up my eyes again. I was in theatre for about three or four hours but I didn\u2019t have any pain afterwards, only a bit of discomfort and swelling. Even my children agree I look great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look and feel younger than I did 20 years ago. The trouble with surgery is that it makes you scrutinize other parts of your body. At the moment I\u2019m having the preparatory work for teeth implants in the new year so that my smile is as youthful as my new face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collagen Stimulation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Christmas I intend to find all the parties I can. I want to make the most of my new confidence instead of feeling that people would point and say: \u201cLook at that old woman over there!\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
