Woman, 35, Travels to Turkey for Mommy Makeover After Having 3 Kids. The Result and Price Are Equally Shocking (Exclusive)
Social media influencer Cayley traveled to Turkey for a mommy makeover and paid a fraction of what the procedure would have cost in the U.S. She estimated it would have cost around $40K to get the surgery done locally in Arizona, but she paid less than $15K for an entire 10-day trip to Turkey, including the surgery Cayley tells PEOPLE she had a great experience despite how many people have left comments on her posts criticizing medical tourismContent Creator Cayley says she always knew that when she was done having kids she would get a mommy makeover. The mom of three — who had her children in the span of four years — briefly considered getting surgery in the U.S., but quickly realized that it was not within her budget. "I live in Arizona, so obviously Scottsdale's right here, it is plastic surgery central," Cayley, a rising TikTok influencer, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I started looking up some surgeons in my area and I'm like, 'I have three young kids, I can't spend $40,000 on this.' So that ruled that out." Cayley, 35, then did her research on medical tourism. She says she quite simply googled "plastic surgery capitals," which led her to Mexico, Colombia and Turkey. Her proximity to Mexico was appealing, but her desire to travel to Turkey made it the winner. She continued researching facilities in Turkey and reached out to those she found. Cayley says the first place she contacted, the office of Dr. Safa Manav in Instanbul, was the one she instantly clicked with because she felt comfortable with the correspondence. "They were so warm, friendly, nice, kind, caring, just kind of checked all the boxes," she says of the initial conversations, which were all over WhatsApp. She then sent photos of herself to the patient coordinator, asking for a mommy makeover, which typically includes a tummy tuck, breast augmentation and liposuction. They provided her with a price quote that shocked her. "It almost felt surreal," she says of the price. Cayley put her deposit down in February and traveled to Turkey in May. She was there for 10 nights, and had a "VIP experience," she says. She stayed in a medical hotel that was partnered with the clinic where she had her surgery, plus breakfast, transfers to the facility and airport transportation were all included in her plastic surgery package. For her actual procedure, Cayley opted for a traditional mommy makeover — and she brought her own mother along for emotional support (and to aid in recovery). "I had a full tummy tuck with a little bit of muscle repair and then a little bit of lipo on my sides. I also had a breast lift and augmentation," she explains. Her surgery took place on her third day in Istanbul, and she then spent two nights in the hospital facility before going back to her hotel. For the next handful of days, Cayley was able to rest, relax and recover, though she had the option to have a nurse come and check on her. She says she did have her come at first but felt like she was doing just fine and opted out of that after the second day. "The first couple of days truly were rough," she says of her recovery, explaining how it was easier to be away from home vs. recovering in her house. "My kids don't understand. Having that time of total rest and recovery was so nice." Once she felt up to it, she and her mom explored Istanbul before heading back to the States. She says that getting up and moving around made her feel better. "Everyone's recovery is different, but it was great for me," she says. "I got to actually see [Turkey] and enjoy it." Cayley, who shares all sorts of "hot mom things" on TikTok, documented her mommy makeover for her audience, and she very quickly got a lot of questions, including what the experience was like in Turkey, how she felt about the results, how her husband felt about the results and, of course, how much she actually paid. She's largely been an open book about the whole thing, sharing updates on her healing process since arriving back in Arizona (though she waited a while to show off her belly button because it looked "crazy" while it healed). The healing process has gone well for her, and she hasn't run into any setbacks. She also noted that her husband was very supportive. "I told him, I was like, 'Aren't you excited I'm going to come home with new boobs?' And he's like, 'Honestly, whatever makes you happy,'" she gushes. "The right words to say!" The price was what made everything worth it for Cayley. She breaks it all down for PEOPLE: "So $11,000 included all my procedures, my hospital garments, the hotel stay [for 10 nights], the VIP transfers [to the clinic and the airport], breakfasts, etc. And then the flight roundtrip was around $1,500. So I think total, I'd say $14,000 from start to finish. That includes everything. Shopping, eating out, little things we did. That was 2024 pricing they gave me. I believe the price has slightly increased now." The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported in 2022 that a mommy makeover could cost at least $20,000, but it varies greatly based on where you live, who your doctor is and what the scope of the surgery ends up being. Cayley is loving her new body now that it's almost fully healed and she has the confidence to wear her bikinis again. One of the only drawbacks she's experienced with her massive social media audience is the handful of comments she's gotten on her posts criticizing medical tourism. "I had to actually filter my comments," she admits, adding that some of them got really aggressive and xenophobic. "They don't think those problems could also happen here in the States? Guess what? They do. People always have something to say. I had a great experience with my doctor." Read the original article on People

Warriors' Fallback Option to Bradley Beal Revealed By NBA Insider
Warriors' Fallback Option to Bradley Beal Revealed By NBA Insider originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It was not too long ago since the Golden State Warriors were connected to Bradley Beal, should a buyout take place between him and the Phoenix Suns. The Warriors remain connected to the star guard, but also have contingency plans in place, if they need them. Advertisement Suns insider John Gambadoro was the one who originally linked the Warriors to Beal, listing them as one of the top teams interested in signing the former All-Star after a buyout situation. Those circumstances are ones that Beal is already preparing for. Marc Stein reported, "Bradley Beal is actively exploring his options with other teams in anticipation of a Suns buyout, league sources tell [The Stein Line]." Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal smilingRobert Edwards-Imagn Images There are notable free agents who are all reportedly waiting on the fallout from the Bradley Beal saga. Jake Fischer reported that Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, and Malcolm Brogdon are all subject to the waiting game right now. Advertisement Fischer wrote, "League sources say that the options for Paul, Westbrook and Brogdon are likely to be impacted by where Beal lands." The player worth paying attention to in these circumstances for Warriors fans would be Brogdon. The veteran guard has a long list of teams that hold interest, according to Fischer, including Golden State. Fischer added, "All of these scenarios, furthermore, are sure to have an impact on Brogdon. League sources say that the Wizards are open to sign-and-trade discussions to facilitate Brogdon's exit from Washington and a slew of teams have registered varying levels of interest in the 32-year-old." The NBA insider continued, "That list includes the [Los Angeles Clippers] Clippers, Suns and [Los Angeles] Lakers as well as the Warriors, [Minnesota] Timberwolves, [New Orleans] Pelicans, [Sacramento] Kings and [Milwaukee] Bucks." Advertisement Brogdon could provide a trusted option at the backup guard position for the Warriors. It would fill one of several needs still left on the team's roster as they gear up for the 2025-26 campaign.

Arizona Special Election: 25-Year-Old Deja Foxx Seeks To Go From TikTok Activist To Congress
A popular social media influencer is seen as a contender in Tuesday's Democratic primary for the special election to replace an Arizona congressman who died in office in March—which could make her one of the youngest members of Congress and the first of a new generation of content creators running for office to succeed. Deja Foxx, a 25-year-old political content creator, is a contender for an Arizona congressional ... More seat. Variety via Getty Images Deja Foxx, a 25-year-old political content creator who has over 395,000 followers on TikTok, is running for Democratic nomination in Arizona's 7th District after only turning the minimum age to serve in Congress in April. Fifty-four-year-old former Pima County Supervisor Adelita Grijalva, the daughter of the late Rep. Raul Grijalva, was widely seen as the frontrunner in the race to replace her father, but recent internal polling from Foxx's campaign first published by Politico suggests the race is much closer—Foxx was only eight points behind Grijalva in polling done in May. Foxx was one of the youngest campaign staffers on Kamala Harris' first presidential campaign in 2020, and has continued to produce political content on liberal issues. Foxx was also chosen as one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 in media for her work on social media campaigns for companies including Prada and Nike, as well as her political work. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., a 22-year veteran of Congress, died in March from complications from his cancer treatment, leaving a key seat open in a swing state Trump won with 52% of the vote in 2024. Arizona's 7th district is heavily Democratic leaning, according to the Cook Political Report, meaning whoever wins Tuesday's primary will be a heavy favorite in the Sept. 23 general election. Republicans only hold a slim majority in the House and are keen to pick up any available seats. Tangent Foxx is also one of the candidates endorsed by Leaders We Deserve, the political organization founded by former Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg with the intention of winning primary elections against sitting Democrats 'unwilling or unable to meet the moment and are asleep at the wheel.' Hogg, another Gen Z political activist who rose to prominence after surviving the Parkland shooting in 2018, raised as much as $20 million for these primary campaigns, The New York Times reported in April. The organization also endorsed Zohran Mamdani, who came from behind to win the Democratic primary in the New York City mayoral election against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month. Mamdani was behind in the polls before defeating the former governor and Democratic Party mainstay by 12 points. Hogg left his DNC position after clashing with leadership over his primary efforts, and said he would not run for reelection after an internal committee voided his prior election to vice chair in June. Hogg's PAC is dedicated to 'electing young progressives,' but both Foxx and Grijalva are vying for progressive support in the primary campaign. Raul Grijalva was a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and reliable supporter for liberal causes in the House. Adelita Grijalva has sought to portray herself similarly, and the candidates' policy positions are similar. Both Foxx and Grijalva have extensive policy platforms dedicated to opposing President Donald Trump's domestic agenda, expanding affordable housing and fighting for environmental justice and tribal sovereignty. Foxx's campaign also points to support for other popular left-wing causes, including Medicare for All. But Grijalva has also racked up endorsements from major progressive organizations and leaders, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., as well as both of Arizona's sitting Democratic senators, Sen. Mark Kelly and Sen. Ruben Gallego. Foxx has centered her criticism on establishment Democrats circling the wagons for establishment candidates, noting that three senior Democratic members of Congress died within the first six months of Trump's second term, handing Republicans a larger advantage.

The Migraine-Friendly Routine That Keeps You Ahead Of The Pain
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." It's late afternoon when you feel it coming on: that telltale throbbing on one side of your head, the nausea, the dizziness. Suddenly, the overhead lights seem unbearably bright, and the clacking of your keyboard is jackhammer-loud. You message the boss ('leaving early again'), then head home and retreat to a dark, quiet room to ride out yet another migraine. If you've missed work or skipped out on social events due to the condition, you know how disruptive it can be. 'Migraine is a serious and highly disabling neurologic disease,' says Amaal Starling, MD, a headache specialist and associate professor of neurology in Scottsdale, Arizona. 'Left undiagnosed and untreated, it can worsen and progress over time and become more severe and disabling.' It's also very common, affecting more than 39 million people in the U.S., according to the American Migraine Foundation. Of these, 3 to 5 percent live with chronic migraine, defined as 15 or more headache days per month. Women are up to three times more likely than men to experience migraine, and their attacks tend to be more frequent, more intense, and longer-lasting. So what is it that makes migraine so uniquely debilitating—beyond the pain itself? More than just a 'bad headache,' migraine is a complex, largely genetic condition involving many systems in the body. The pain stems from abnormal interactions between the brain, blood vessels, and surrounding nerves. 'There are a lot of non-pain-related symptoms as well, such as sensitivity to light, sound, smell, and motion, nausea, and brain fog,' Dr. Starling says. Nearly a quarter of people with migraine experience an aura—usually a visual disturbance—right before or during the attack. A migraine attack is influenced by both biological and environmental factors, unfolds in phases, and can last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours. Triggers vary widely from person to person but often include specific foods (like red wine, nitrates, or aged cheeses), dehydration, hormonal fluctuations, changes in barometric pressure, and poor or irregular sleep. Stress can play a major role in the onset of migraine too, including the rapid drop in stress hormones that occurs after a high-stress period—a phenomenon known as "let-down migraine,' Dr. Starling explains. This is why symptoms may often arise at the start of a vacation or after a long weekend. The fallout from migraine is not solely physical. According to research published in a 2019 issue of Headache, the disease negatively affects many important aspects of life, including relationships, career, financial security, and overall health. 'It can disrupt your ability to work, care for your family, attend social events, or even get out of bed,' says study author Dawn C. Buse, PhD, a psychologist and clinical professor of neurology in New York. 'And it's not the attack itself,' she points out. 'It's the anticipation of the next one, the unpredictability, and the effort to avoid triggers that make life feel so restricted.' Not surprisingly given all this, people living with migraine disease have an increased risk of anxiety and depression. But while migraine can be unpredictable, building a consistent daily routine can help you regain control. Here's how to create structure, reduce symptoms, and get back to living on your own terms—morning, noon, and night. Migraine management begins with a personalized plan from your healthcare provider. It typically includes acute treatments (for when an attack strikes) and preventive treatments (to reduce frequency and severity), Dr. Starling says: 'Individuals who have four or more migraine days per month will need a prescription medication to manage the underlying disease and prevent it from progressing.' But medication is just one piece of the puzzle, Buse says. 'Maintaining overall routine and regularity in daily habits—such as the consistent timing of sleep, meals, exercise, and relaxation—can help to stabilize biological rhythms and reduce migraine susceptibility,' she says She and other experts subscribe to the 'SEEDS for Success' model: Sleep, Eat, Exercise, Diary (to track triggers), and Stress. Each signifies an area of support for raising your migraine threshold. By making your brain and nervous system more resilient overall, you'll become less likely to tip into a migraine even when you're exposed to a trigger. 'Basically, you want to keep everything—sleep, meals, hydration, exercise, and stress levels—on an even keel,' Dr. Starling says. There's no universal 'migraine hour' or specific time of day when attacks are most likely to occur, she adds. So the first step to gaining control is understanding when you're most vulnerable to migraine, and why. From there, create a daily checklist, incorporating these healthy habits: Wake up at the same time every day. Maintaining a consistent sleep and wake schedule, even on weekends, supports circadian-rhythm stability. Aim for seven to nine hours of quality zzz's per night. Eat breakfast. A recent review of studies found that fasting and skipping meals, particularly breakfast, can trigger migraines by reducing brain glucose levels. Instead, opt for healthy, balanced meals at the same time every morning. Get moving. 'Moderate aerobic exercise, performed consistently, has been shown to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraine attacks,' Buse says. Physical activity can also ease stress and improve sleep—thus addressing, of course, two known migraine triggers. Start slow, engaging in low-impact activities like walking, biking, or swimming for 20 to 30 minutes three to five times a week. The exercise doesn't have to be performed in the morning, though for many people this time of day is their best opportunity to get it done. Hydrate. Dehydration is a trigger for one third of people with migraine. Keep a water bottle with you, and sip often throughout the day. If you drink caffeine, stick with one or two servings a day and keep the timing consistent. Take a stress break. Even brief periods of relaxation can help keep stress hormones from yo-yoing. Set aside a quiet moment for some deep breathing or meditation. Or calm your nervous system with a biofeedback app. Soothe your senses. To prevent sensory overload as the day progresses, take screen breaks, dim the brightness on your monitor, and wear sunglasses outside. Can't stand the sound of your neighbor's lawn mower or the voice of your chatty co-worker? Noise-cancelling headphones can be a game-changer. Watch what you eat and drink. Avoid eating heavy or spicy meals close to bedtime, and monitor your alcohol intake. Even if it's not a migraine trigger, imbibing can interfere with the deep, restorative sleep that's so important. Establish a digital curfew. The blue light and stimulation from screens can 'suppress melatonin production and delay sleep onset,' Buse says. Power down at least 30 to 60 minutes before turning in. Prioritize sleep hygiene. 'Your bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet,' says Buse, who suggests 'blackout curtains, white-noise machines, and earplugs as needed.' Engage in a regular bedtime routine (think gentle stretching, a warm bath, or reading) to signal your brain that it's time to sleep. Finding your rhythm with chronic migraine isn't about eliminating every attack. It's about reducing your susceptibility by creating stability and minimizing disruptions. Over time, with consistent, healthy habits, you can live the life you want to lead—with migraine disease firmly in the background.
