A WOMAN who was left with a 'turkey neck' after losing three stone on weight loss jabs is finally comfortable in her own skin after getting a £10,000 'mummy makeover' abroad.
Victoria Vigors decided to have a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, face lift and neck lift after using Mounjaro - a prescription injection used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity - to slim down.

The 40-year-old initially felt 'misshapen' after losing so much weight.
But now she's never been happier - and says she looks better today than she did aged 20.
'I was very self-conscious about my fupa,' the mum, who is a content creator with 270,000 followers, revealed.
'My tummy overhung because I had a caesarean with my daughter, so it left a scar that my stomach would fall over.
'It was really obvious - I would wear tight-fitting clothing, and you could just see I had a really unnatural-looking belly. I hated it.
'My boobs felt misshapen, and one was much bigger than the other.
'And where I had lost weight on Mounjaro - the skin around my neck was like a turkey.
'It was all saggy, and I hated my jowls.
'I just felt old and unattractive.'
Victoria, from Kent, said people used to stare at her stomach and even make comments.
I spent £75k to turn myself into a 'yummy mummy' - not only am I now more confident in a bikini, but a better parent too
She said: 'I've been called 'flabby belly' online.
'People would say I looked more like 50.
'My side profile would show my sagging neck, and people would point it out.
'As much as my daughter would joke, she would also call me 'jelly belly' and poke my stomach.
'I'd been on Mounjaro for ages and eating really healthily, so I felt fantastic on the inside.
'But on the outside, my confidence was at an all-time low.'

After speaking to friends and getting recommendations, Victoria found Revitalize in Turkey.
She spoke to the clinic and was told about a £10,000 'mummy makeover'.
The mum booked in for surgery and flew out just 10 days later.
She said: 'Weirdly enough, I didn't feel anxious at all about going in.
'I was just so excited.
'I was already staying at the villa with loads of people who'd already had surgery and were recovering.
'They were all looking great already, so I wasn't nervous.
'I was a bit more stressed going into having my face done because obviously that's my face, and if that goes wrong, then I'm stuck with it.
'But I'd seen other people's results, which looked great.'

DAY OF THE SURGERY
Victoria's first surgery was for her tummy tuck, liposuction and breast lift.
She said: 'I woke up feeling very groggy, and the pain in my stomach was unreal.
'It'd hurt even more when I moved or coughed.
'I was in and out of sleep for a while, so I was a bit confused at times, but the next day they encouraged me to get up and see if I could start walking.
'I didn't feel any pain in my boobs whatsoever - it was all in my belly.
'I had drains in to collect any blood that was still coming out, and then they showed me a bit of my stomach that they cut away.
"It looked like a slab of fatty pork - I asked them to bin it!'
Five days later, she was taken in for the second surgery for her face and neck lift.

She said: 'Waking up, my face felt really painful and tight.
'I had massive quilting stitches all over my face and neck, which looked like bicycle tyre tracks.
'I was told they were to help direct the blood flow and drain any excess, but they were really uncomfortable and itchy.
'The first 24 hours were really painful, but then after that it eased off and just felt tight and numb.'

SURGERY RECOVERY
Victoria had a check-up two days later and was allowed to go home five days later.
She said: 'I was really nervous to see the results of my facelift as I had to keep the support on for four weeks, as well as the compression garments on my abdomen.
'I also had to keep my boobs strapped for six weeks.
'But once I could take them off, I was over the moon.
'My tummy had gone down and was so flat.
'My boobs looked great, and my face even better.
'I was like, wow, this is my body now!'
The mummy makeover would have cost £10,000 - but Tracy paid a discounted rate.

BOOSTED CONFIDENCE
She is overjoyed with her new look, and her friends and family have been 'super supportive'.
Victoria said: 'They just can't believe how great I look.
'I went to a baby shower a couple of weeks ago, where I hadn't seen some of the girls there for a long time.
'And one of them walked straight past me, didn't even realise it was me, and then she was like, 'Oh my god, look at you now - the glow-up is real.'
'Now I can wear little belly tops, cocktail dresses, tight clothing, and not feel self-conscious anymore.
'I'm super happy.
'There is a lot of pressure for you to be perfect.
'Of course, nobody can be, but this is my idea of perfect to me.'
In May, Victoria re-visited the clinic to have laser eye surgery and turkey teeth fitted.

She said: 'I had 20 porcelain crowns and my eyes done.
'My vision is incredible, and my teeth are perfect.
'My face looks lovely.'
TIMELINE OF SURGERY 10 March - First surgery on tummy tuck, liposuction and breast lift.
15 March - Second surgery on neck and face lift.
20 March - Flew home back to the UK.
7 May - Turkey teeth and laser eye surgery.
20 September - Labiaplasty and breast implants.
MORE SURGERY
Victoria plans on visiting for the final time in September to have breast implants and a labiaplasty.
She said: 'I was supposed to have breast implants when I was there in March, but they said doing that, as well as a lift, was a no-go.
'My blood count was too low when I went for blood tests, so the surgeon said he couldn't do my implants at the same time.
Now I can wear little belly tops, cocktail dresses, tight clothing, and not feel self-conscious anymore
Victoria Vigors
'Now I've given my boobs some time to rest - then I'll be going back.
'I'm super excited for my labiaplasty.
'After having two children, one of my labia appears bigger than the other one.
'I want it to be more levelled out and neat.
'Now, my face is done, my body looks great, it is just those final things.'

How I look like this at 45 and how you can too, by former Olympian and celeb PT Sarah Lindsay
Sarah is among the Instagram influencers proving that being 'fit' doesn't have an age limit PHOARTY! How I look like this at 45 and how you can too, by former Olympian and celeb PT Sarah Lindsay Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FOR many of us, our 40s are a time when things start to shift. Energy levels dip, weight becomes harder to control, and mystery aches and pains strike. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Sarah Lindsay is a three-time Olympic speed-skater and founder of personal-training gym Roar Fitness But not for Sarah Lindsay, a three-time Olympic speed-skater and founder of personal-training gym Roar Fitness. Based in London and Dubai, the PT is among the Instagram influencers proving that being 'fit' doesn't have an age limit. After turning 45 in June, she's cracked the code when it comes to thriving in midlife, saying she feels: 'Fit, strong and calm.' Here, Sarah reveals exactly what it takes to look and feel that good – and you don't have to be an Olympian to achieve it. Walk Every Day I walk most mornings at 6am, usually for around 45 minutes, which is about 6,000 steps. It warms me up and gets my body moving, and it also helps clear my mind ready for the day. Walking is such an underrated form of exercise – whether it's taking a stroll at lunchtime, doing the school run on foot or meeting friends for a walk and talk, it's a simple activity to incorporate into your day. Eat Protein For Breakfast I start the day with three eggs or 300g of steak and vegetables. I appreciate most people don't want steak for breakfast – Greek yoghurt is also high in protein, so just mix with some nuts for a dose of healthy fats. The protein from the eggs or steak helps support my muscles, plus it keeps me feeling full. I choose savoury over sweet, because a high-sugar breakfast can cause a spike in blood glucose levels, followed by a crash, and then the need for more sugar or caffeine to pick the energy back up. Sarah Lynsey's home and gym workout to get a body like Sydney Sweeney Take Collagen daily I add Correxiko Marine Collagen Powder, £39.95 for 30 servings, to my morning coffee and evening hot chocolate. I also take a spoonful of collagen jelly at some point during the day. Collagen helps to support my joints, bones and muscles, plus keeps my gut health and my skin looking young. Add Supplements My top-five supplements are magnesium, zinc, creatine, collagen and NAD+ (a coenzyme found in every cell of the body). These help me recover after exercise, sleep well, improve my cognitive function and reduce inflammation, which helps to stop me falling ill. Do an Afternoon Workout As I've grown older, I feel more vulnerable to injury in the mornings, so I save more intense workouts for later in the day, once my muscles have warmed up. I will never train without eating first. Training when fasted doesn't make you burn more fat, but it does increase your chance of burning muscle. Aim for 40-Minute Sessions I weight train for 40 minutes, three times a week, doing full-body workouts. Any more than that and I struggle to stay focused. I always train with a plan – I don't just wing exercise and hope for the best. Every session has a clear purpose, with no ego lifting, just smart training that keeps me moving and living well. On days that I do train, I have a protein shake afterwards to help my recovery. Switch it up regularly You have to mix up your weight training every month or so, otherwise your body will stop adapting and progressing. I tend to change the exercises I do, the amount of weights I lift and/or the length of rest periods between exercise sets. I'll also change my training focus, such as strength, muscle growth, endurance, conditioning or power, so that I can keep improving, getting stronger and fitter. At the moment, I'm doing 15 reps per set, because I am in a conditioning phase. This means I'm improving my aerobic fitness and muscular endurance. Increase Rest Time I do exercises in pairs and alternate between upper- and lower-body movements. For example, a set of squats immediately followed by a set of bicep curls. It's important to do compound moves, like squats, which involve multiple joints and muscles, as well as isolation moves, such as bicep curls, which involve one muscle or joint. Your training programme depends on your health, injuries, experience and current level of fitness, rather than your actual age. The most important thing to adjust as you get older is to increase your rest times – as you age, you need more rest days to support recovery. If you don't recover, you don't improve. Opt for Home-Cooked food When I'm eating at home, I keep it simple. For lunch, I have two salmon fillets, potatoes and salad. For dinner, I eat three chicken thighs with rice and veg. Being organised is important, because if I'm starving I'll go for the most convenient food, whatever it is. So having something balanced and healthy already made helps me avoid fast food. I will have a couple of snacks during the day, such as nuts, fruit or sometimes toast. I don't count calories, but it can be useful if you're trying to make changes to body composition, such as getting leaner or adding muscle. Never Ban Treats I do have a sweet tooth and I don't restrict myself, which is why I never binge on sweet stuff. Food is one of life's greatest pleasures, and if I want something, then I will have it. My go-to sweet treat is always dark chocolate. I like Booja-Booja, because it's rich and full of flavour, so I only need a couple of chocolates to feel satisfied. Or I'll have a few dates or some sweet popcorn. If you have unhealthy eating habits or if you feel guilty when you eat treats, you need to try to reframe your thinking. This is a huge and complicated topic and very individual, so it's difficult for me to advise. The most important thing is to not beat yourself up about it, and to try and make a realistic plan to form new habits. Limit Alcohol intake Alcohol is my biggest nutritional downfall – I'll drink champagne to celebrate, have wine with dinner, Aperol on holiday or a gin and tonic at my local pub, but I'm pretty good at having a few, then stopping. When you realise how much more productive you feel the next day without overdoing the alcohol, it makes it far easier to stop after just a few. It's also a good idea to drink water between each alcoholic drink, as this slows down your drinking. Know your Numbers I have semi-regular blood tests to check if I'm deficient in any nutrients. If you can't get in shape because you constantly crave certain foods and alcohol, then it's worth checking for deficiencies. For example, if you're always craving dark chocolate, it could mean you're deficient in magnesium, or craving salty snacks might mean a sodium deficiency. From the age of 40, everyone should be getting their NHS Health Check every five years, which measures things like blood pressure and cholesterol. Refine your Bedtime Routine A bit of discipline can go a long way to improving your sleep quality. Aim to finish eating three hours before going to bed, and stop using your phone or anything else digital at least an hour before bed. A colder room can often help you sleep better, and if you're someone with a busy brain, journalling before getting into bed can be a game-changer to get your thoughts out of your head and on to paper.
