I got a mummy makeover in Mexico to save £19k & had a tummy tuck, lipo & butt lift in one trip to banish my saggy tum
Find out the risks of getting surgery abroad MUMMY MAKEOVER I got a mummy makeover in Mexico to save £19k & had a tummy tuck, lipo & butt lift in one trip to banish my saggy tum A WOMAN had her 'mummy makeover' in Mexico in a desperate attempt to banish her saggy tum. Maleny Rapalo, who struggled with her body after having two children, has shared how she flew to another country for a bargain 'mummy makeover' despite warnings from loved ones. 8 A mum of two got her dream mummy makeover Credit: Jam press 8 Maleny Rapalo struggled with body confidence after having kids Credit: Jam press 8 Maleny flew to Mexico for her bargain weight loss surgery Credit: Jam press The mum had spent years putting her family first and pushing her own insecurities to the side. After giving birth to her son Max, 11, and daughter Mila, six, she found herself battling low confidence due to loose skin, a 'mummy pouch' and a lack of shape – despite managing to lose over 20lbs through regular workouts. When gym sessions didn't give her the results she was hoping for, Maleny, who lives in Orange Country, California, began looking into surgical options in the US – only to be hit with shocking price tags of up to £25,000. Unable to justify the cost, the 32-year-old turned her attention abroad and explored medical tourism – eventually booking a consultation in Tijuana, Mexico. 'After having kids, I struggled with how my body looked, especially my tummy area,' Maleny told NeedToKnow. 'I had loose skin, a square shape and no matter how much I worked out, it just didn't bounce back. 'It made me feel really self-conscious. 'I would avoid taking photos from the front and always wear oversized shirts to hide everything. 'It affected how I showed up in everyday life. Woman left with 'turkey neck' after losing three stone on weight loss jabs gets £10,000 'mummy makeover' abroad 'I avoided tight clothes; bikinis were out of the question. 'I just didn't feel confident and I stopped feeling like 'me' – the woman I was before kids.' 8 Her stomach previously made her feel self-conscious Credit: Jam press The transformation included an extended tummy tuck, Lipo 360, arm and inner thigh liposuction, a Brazilian bum lift and muscle repair – all for $7,800 (£6,200) with an additional $1,000 (£740) for a week-long recovery stay. Despite initial concerns from friends and family, Maleny was confident in her decision. She did thorough research and spoke to a friend who had also undergone surgery in Mexico. Maleny, who is a content creator and full-time corporate employee, said: 'I was definitely nervous. 'It's a big decision and I didn't take it lightly. 'The thought of going abroad added to that at first, but once I did my research and found a surgeon I trusted, I felt at peace. 'The clinic was professional, the staff was amazing, and I felt very cared for throughout the entire process. '[The reaction from people in my life] was mixed at first. 'Some were supportive right away, others had concerns – especially about travelling. 'But once they saw how well I was being taken care of and how happy I was with the results, their perspective shifted. 'Now, they're so proud of me for doing something for myself.' Maleny had the surgery in April 2025. 8 Maleny said working out wouldn't cut it for her During recovery, she experienced some discomfort, particularly from the muscle repair when sneezing or coughing – but overall found the pain manageable. Now, three months post-op, she feels like a whole new person. She said, 'It was emotional when I first looked at myself in the mirror. 'Even though I was swollen, I could see curves, a waistline and the flat stomach I hadn't seen in years. 'I cried, not out of vanity, but because I finally saw myself again. 'It was like I got a piece of myself back.' The journey has not only changed her physically but emotionally too – giving her back the sense of self she lost after motherhood. Her family and online followers have been hugely supportive. Maleny has even shared her experience on TikTok, where she's been overwhelmed by the response – especially from other mums. She added: 'It's changed everything. 'I show up more confidently, whether it's getting dressed, being on camera, or just playing with my kids. 'I'm no longer hiding under baggy clothes or cropping myself out of photos. 'It's not just physical; it gave me a new sense of self-worth. 'I feel like the best version of myself, and that energy spills into everything I do, including motherhood. 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.

This glassy Boston penthouse is officially the most expensive home for sale in Massachusetts
A brand new Boston penthouse 220 feet above the ground is breaking records. The two-story condo atop the city's St. Regis Residences listed for $49.5 million this month, Jampress reported. The luxe property is officially the most expensive listing in the state of Massachusetts, according to Zillow, soundly beating out the $39 million price tag put on the Obama family's former Martha's Vineyard rental in April. Advertisement 6 The newly listed penthouse tops off Boston's St. Regis Residences. Jam Press/Surrette Media Group 6 Italian marble spans the two-story great room. Jam Press/Surrette Media Group The grand penthouse in Boston's Seaport District spans 10,000 square feet across two floors. The home's interiors are defined by glass, marble and metal, making it look more at home along Billionaires' Row than in Beantown. Advertisement Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the city skyline and Boston Harbor, but the best view is from the pool. Located on the 1,000-square-foot rooftop, the condo's crown jewel is a custom infinity-edge pool. Its transparent bottom and retractable glass roof offer swimmers a transcendent dip above the city. Entrants to the home are greeted with a foyer of Italian marble inlay floors and a sculptural floating staircase. The two-story great room flows directly into a small, sparse kitchen. 6 The minimalistic kitchen in listing photos is in contrast with the grand scale of the home. Jam Press/Surrette Media Group 6 Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with light. Jam Press/Surrette Media Group Advertisement 6 A rendering of the home with additional finishings. Jam Press/Surrette Media Group The rest of the home includes six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, according to the listing, as well as a playroom, a home office, a gym and a private bar. 'Every element is curated for refined living and entertaining at scale,' according to the listing, held by George Sarkis and Manuel Sarkis of Douglas Elliman. While multimillion-dollar listings are no rarity in Boston, the nearly $50 million unit faces a smaller buyer pool than a similar unit in wealthier metros like New York City or the Bay Area. Advertisement Boston is home to 112 millionaires and just eight billionaires, according to a 2025 ranking by the investment firm Henley & Partners. By comparison, the Big Apple boasts 818 millionaires and 66 billionaires. The St. Regis Residences have a promising track record, however. An apartment there achieved one of the city's priciest ever sales last year when it sold for $20.35 million last year, Mansion Global reported. 6 The luxury building in the Seaport District already claims one of the most expensive residential sales in Boston's history. Jam Press/Surrette Media Group The sky-high unit comes with fees to match, including a roughly $22,000 monthly HOA fee and a $1,060 parking fee, reported.

Shock moment bouncer is punched to the floor by rowdy pubgoer as pair grapple in late-night brawl outside busy venue
THIS is the shocking moment a bouncer is punched to the ground by a rowdy pubgoer. Emergency services were called last week to reports of the nasty brawl outside a North London bar. 6 A pubgoer is seen throwing punches at a bouncer Credit: Jampress 6 The pair scramble on the floor Credit: Jampress 6 The shocking moment is captured on film Credit: Jampress The incident, which took place on the evening of May 10, was captured by an onlooker and shared online. Dramatic footage shows a man throwing multiple punches at the bouncer as he leaves Boxpark bar in Camden. Dressed in a hoodie and carrying a backpack, the thug is seen grabbing the man's neck as the pair scramble on the floor. He is then seen trying to throw more punches at the defenceless bouncer, before security guards rush to their pal's aid. As they try and pull the pubgoer away, a crowd of onlookers peer over trying to capture the terrifying moment. The pair are seen scrambling on the floor before security guards detain the man. A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: 'We were called at 10.25pm on Saturday 10th May to reports of an incident in Camden High Street, NW1. 'We sent an ambulance and treated a man before taking him to hospital.' This comes just weeks after a jockey still in his riding gear was bundled into a police car after a pub brawl which left a pensioner fighting for life. The horseman was taken away after a fight broke out between four men in the middle of the day. Fight breaks out in pub before Championship ace gets involved in 'street brawl' A 70-year-old who reportedly tried to break up the brawl was put in a critical but stable condition. The punch-up near the Waggon and Horses pub in Newmarket, Suffolk, prompted a response from five police cars, three ambulances and an air ambulance — ahead of Cheltenham Festival which starts today. A source said: 'People were drinking in the pub when a fight started. "An old chap out celebrating his birthday with his two sons went to break it up. 'It ended up outside and he hit his head on the kerb — everyone thought he was dead. He's still in hospital.' Suffolk Police said its officers were called to reports of a brawl at about 3.40pm, when they found two men with injuries sustained in the fight. 6 The bouncer is seen being thrown to the ground Credit: Jampress 6 Security guards are captured rushing in to help Credit: Jampress
