Reality television star Yazmin Oukhellou has revealed she has undergone cosmetic surgery and showcased the results. The Only Way Is Essex personality displayed her noticeably altered appearance after having a facelift at the age of 31.
Details of the Procedure
She disclosed that she had surgery last month, which included a temporal lift, neck and jaw lift, and 360-degree liposuction. The temporal lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure targeting the outer brow and temple area, designed to elevate drooping brows and reduce crow's feet.
Recovery and Results
Oukhellou, who has been part of the TOWIE cast since 2017, recently shared her "swollen" appearance as she recovered from the operation. She has now posted a photograph on Instagram as she continues to heal from the procedure performed in Turkey. The bandages were removed, and her new look was fully visible in the selfie she took.
Earlier, she shared a mirror selfie showing her two blackened eyes, bandages around her face, and a strap around her chin to aid healing, along with a compression vest. Her caption read: "3 days post-op… swollen, bruised and sore, but trusting the process. I've had a temporal lift, neck & jaw lift & 360 lipo — and this is me right in the middle of healing. Taking it day by day and giving my body the time it needs."
She acknowledged returning to a place she trusts in Turkey. "I've been going to @serenecosmetic_ in Istanbul for the past 8 years — the only place I trust with my surgeries. The care is always next level, and my surgeon has been amazing, checking in with me daily to make sure everything is on track for the best results."
Motivation and Criticism
She recently explained why she felt compelled to undergo the surgery as she continues her series of cosmetic enhancements. This is reported to be her ninth surgical procedure, with total costs reaching £65,000. She dismissed critics who argue she has gone too far at a young age. "I don't care what anyone thinks or says. I just do it," she told a publication. "I get so many DMs saying 'you're gorgeous, stop having surgery', but most people must look at themselves and see things that bother them that other people can't see. I only get one life on this earth, so if I can get something done to make myself feel a bit better, then why not make myself happy? I know there's risks with it and I fully understand that, but I always make sure I'm in the best physical health before I undergo surgery."
She emphasised that she does not take her decisions lightly, often contemplating for six months before going under the knife.
