A MODEL who has spent £38,000 on surgery and couldn't sit down for months after a botched BBL says she 'isn't done yet' perfecting her body.
Ex-flight attendant Alanna Pow had to lie on her stomach for six weeks after going under the knife to boost the size of her bottom.

She flew over 6,400 miles to get the work done in Turkey – alongside a free nose job.
But the 22-year-old says no effort is too great to get the look she desires – and she's already planning her next move, a third BBL next month.
'The recovery from my surgeries was awful,' said Alanna, who has three million followers across social media (@alannasworldx).
'When I had the first one, I was still a flight attendant and I went back to work quickly so I had to walk up and down the whole flight.
'During take-off, I sat on my BBL cushion and the pain was excruciating.
'I also had to wear a compression garment for six weeks underneath my uniform.
'And I had to lay on my front for six weeks because I couldn't sit down.
'I already have big boobs so I just wanted to be more proportioned.'
Alanna, who is from Australia but lives in Bali, claims to earn £110,000 a month selling racy content online.
She had her first BBL last year, which set her back £9,300, and once again in 2025 for the same cost – with the rhinoplasty thrown in for free by her surgeon in Turkey.
I'm 30 & have had 4 BBL's - trolls say my bum looks like a wisdom tooth but I don't care about the risks, I want curves
Alanna is undergoing the third surgery to fix the 'botched' first two attempts to give her a large bottom.
She said: 'I wouldn't recommend Turkey – I feel like I've been botched.
'My legs are misshapen.
'The first doctor in Turkey took way too much fat from my lower thighs and left them looking wavy.
'I've been insecure about them ever since.
'My legs are the only area he really botched, the rest of my body wasn't done badly, but I don't think he did enough lipo overall.
'The nose came out perfectly, though.
'I just wanted a tiny tweak to give myself a ski slope and the recovery time was two weeks.'

Having learnt her lesson, Alanna's third butt lift will be performed by a surgeon in Australia, rather than Turkey, and will set her back a whopping £19,500.
She'll have fat removed from her chin, stomach, arms, back and legs, which will then be transferred to her bum.
The model said: 'He'll also put some fat back into my thighs to even them out and make them look normal again.
'I'd like to lose weight but I don't want to try weight loss jabs because I don't want my boobs to shrink – they are my money-makers.
'My male fans love real breasts.
'But my butt is naturally flat so I am getting surgical intervention.
'I don't see anything wrong with that.
'I look in the mirror every single day and I love my body, but if I want to make changes, that's my choice – and I'll keep going until I get it right.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

'I'm so excited for my third BBL.
'The first two were just learning lessons for me.'
Alanna initially decided to go to Turkey after seeing an influencer on social media go to the same surgeon.
She added: 'I messaged the doctor and within a month I was booked in.
'It's ridiculously easy to get a surgery slot, which feels crazy to me now.
'In Australia, I had to wait months for a consultation.
'They ask you so many mental health questions.
'You have to have a week cooling off period before deciding if you want to go ahead with the surgery.
'There are so many more hoops to jump through.'

It had recently been announced that the pair would partner up for the US Open's revamped mixed doubles event. While Raducanu had also attended one of Alcaraz's matches at Queen's. The 22-year-old insisted at the time that she and the two-time former Wimbledon champion were "just friends".

During Wimbledon, British star Cameron Norrie was bizarrely asked if he was dating Raducanu.

The reporter then responded: "I am trying to find out who is dating Emma Raducanu. "It seems to be going around all the men's singles... I was wondering if you're dating her, please?"

For the first time since her US Open triumph four years ago, Raducanu has managed to play a full calendar - crucially staying injury free. With Mark Petchey having TV commitments, Raducanu has begun working with Rafael Nadal's former coach Francisco Roig. On chatter surrounding the several coaches that she has worked with down the years, Raducanu said: "When you see things like: 'Oh, Emma on her ninth coach', I'm like: 'Guys, come on.' Certain ones don't count. "If you've had a trial, you don't have to carry on after the trial. A few have been trials, a few have been other situations. "I just try and take the high road. And try to do what the royal family would do.'

More woke madness as theatre-goers warned to expect 'coercive' behaviour in Hamlet Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THEATRE-goers have been warned to expect 'coercive' behaviour in Hamlet — a play more than 400 years old.

Bosses at the National Theatre in London deemed it necessary to warn fans in case anyone paying up to £89 for tickets is triggered. They said of Shakespeare's longest play: 'This production contains themes of grief and death, including suicide and the loss of a parent, depictions of madness, violence, and coercive behaviour.' Online resource says of the body count: 'It is a well-known fact that Shakespeare's tragedies normally conclude in death, and Hamlet, written in 1600 to 1601, is no exception. "The last scene alone reveals the death of six different characters, and that is after the death of Hamlet's father, Polonius, and Ophelia in earlier scenes.' In June, London's Globe Theatre warned of guns and suicide in a Wild West version of Romeo and Juliet. The Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon also issued a warning about Macbeth in 2023. It included 'scenes of war, violence, and death including execution, suicide, violence against children, murder and domestic, emotional and physical abuse'. There were also 'special effects including flashing lights, strobe lights, loud noises, haze, fire effects, smoking and gunshots'.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KING Charles and Queen Camilla were reduced to tears yesterday by a 105-year-old war veteran. Yavar Abbas, who served as an officer in the Far East and witnessed the horrors of the atom bomb at Hiroshima, was due to read from his war diary at a service to mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.

Instead, he paid a moving tribute to the King, hailing his bravery in the face of cancer. Yavar told 1,500 guests gathered for the Royal British Legion service of remembrance: 'I make no apology for briefly going off the script to salute my brave King who is here with his beloved Queen, in spite of the fact that he's under treatment for cancer, an alien that I share with him. 'If it provides any comfort, of which I've been rid for the past 25 years and counting. READ MORE ON VJ DAY LEST WE FORGET Charles and Camilla arrive at ceremony to mark 80th anniversary of VJ Day 'I salute him for gracing this occasion, because by his presence here, he has gone a long way to make sure that his grandad's 14th Army is never given the soubriquet again of a Forgotten Army.' Tears began to flow down Camilla's cheeks, while Charles, wearing a Field Marshal's uniform, looked visibly moved as they sat with veterans and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Later, the Queen dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief and looked lovingly at her husband. The crowd cheered for Yavar, one of 33 veterans, aged 96 to 105, who attended the VJ80 commemoration at the National Memorial Arboretum near Burton-on-Trent, Staffs, to mark the day World War Two ended in 1945. Yavas, a former 2nd Lieutenant, went on to tell the audience of the horrors he witnessed in Burma as the Allied 14th Army fought a series of battles against Japanese invaders. Reading his diary entry written in February 1945, he recalled being ready to move out at first light with 'every chance of not coming back at all'. Incredible stories of the last heroes of The Forgotten Army as Britain falls silent to mark 80th anniversary of VJ Day The entry goes on: 'I could have been dead twice before, but I'm still living. I would be surprised if I get a life for a third time. May God spare me.' Yavar lived to tell his tale to the world on VJ Day and when he returned to his place among the veterans in the royal box, King Charles saluted him. I make no apology for briefly going off the script to salute my brave King who is here with his beloved Queen, in spite of the fact that he's under treatment for cancer, an alien that I share with him Yavar Abbas Moments earlier, Camilla had to comfort 100-year-old John Harlow, who was visibly moved when Endeavour actor Anton Lesser told his story. John, from Exeter, Devon, served for two years as a submariner on HMS Rorqual in the Pacific fleet in World War Two, and still mourns the loss of his friend. 9 Sir Keir Starmer, the King and Queen attend the remembrance event Credit: PA 9 Heroic Brits in the Far East in 1941 9 London's Piccadilly Circus in 1945 after the end of the war Credit: Getty Anton told the service the sub's sister ship, HMS Porpoise, was attacked by a Japanese bomber. John recalled: 'None of the crew survived. War doesn't grant you the luxury of goodbyes. 'Every year on VJ Day, I think of a close friend of mine that was on board, Mark Weber. War doesn't grant you the luxury of goodbyes John Harlow "I wish today for us to remember all the crew of HMS Porpoise, Mark and all lost at sea for in remembering they live on.' The King, Queen, PM and military top brass began the service by laying wreaths at a drumhead set up on the steps of the Arboretum's spectacular Armed Forces Memorial. At noon, the veterans and guests stood in 80-degree heat for the national two-minute silence to remember the almost 30,000 British forces killed in the Far East along with 13,000 who suffered unimaginable brutality as prisoners of war. 9 Camilla shares a smile with one of the guests at the service Credit: Reuters 9 Robert Lindsay read words Britain's last two Chindits had written about their time with the famous Long Range unit fighting behind the enemy lines Credit: Reuters During the silence, eight Red Arrows screamed overhead. Celia Imrie, who fell in love with India while filming The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movie, paid tribute to the veterans and all who served: 'We wish to share our gratitude with all who served and were imprisoned. 'Your spirit and determination in the face of unspeakable horrors will not be forgotten.' Bill Jones, 99, of Staines, Surrey, was a Fleet Air Arm Fitter on the island of Ponam. Before the service he said 'I saw the prisoners, thin as rakes, bruises everywhere.' Britain's last two Chindits, Sid Machin, 101, of Christchurch, Dorset, and Charlie Richards, 104, from Kettering, Northants, sat side-by-side. Robert Lindsay read words they had written about their time with the famous Long Range unit fighting behind the enemy lines. 'Never be forgotten' The actor read: 'As we neared the end of our time in Burma, death became an everyday occurrence, with bodies to bury almost every evening, some from enemy action, most from the appalling conditions caused by the monsoon. 'After weeks of this, it made you wonder if it would be your shoulder that death would be tapping on next. When we came back, it felt like people forgot what we did in Burma. 'We still feel proud sitting here today representing all those brave boys we fought alongside in Burma, thanks to You, Sid and Charlie, the Chindits will never be forgotten.' Later the King and Queen then spent around an hour at the reception speaking to veterans. Charles told Charlie Richards, 104, one of the last surviving Chindits, a unit that fought deep behind enemy lines: 'The things you did, I could never get over. We owe you all such a huge debt of gratitude.' TOM'S LAST VIDEO By Mike Ridley ONE of the stars of the commemoration died the day before VJ Day. Former Royal Artillery bombardier Tom Jones, 103, spoke in a video played at the service about fighting in Burma, and how a Gurkha saved his life from the Japanese. But the audience was shocked when the host, actress Celia Imrie, said Tom, of Salford in Gtr Manchester, had died on Thursday afternoon after a short illness. In May, Tom told today's schoolchildren to 'choose peace' because war was 'truly terrible'.
