I got cosmetic surgery abroad – trolls say I should feel guilty for not splashing cash on my son, but they have no clue
A MUM has hit back at trolls who say she should feel guilty for spending money on cosmetic surgery instead of her son - insisting he never goes without. Jasmine Murphy, from Glasgow, has forked out thousands of pounds on operations in Prague, Czech Republic, over the past decade. 5 5 The 34-year-old - mum to Joshua, five - does not encourage other people to go under the knife, but is very transparent about any work she has had done on her TikTok page (@jasminemurphyhair). Over the past 13 years, she has had four breast surgeries including three reductions and one set of implants. She has also had liposuction on her face, hips, legs and stomach, plus botox, lip filler and procedures to "tighten" her mum tum and "blitz" cellulite. She said: "I'm a hairdresser, I'm in that world, and I absolutely love beauty treatments. I love things that are aesthetically pleasing." But she admitted she has always hated her breast implants, which she got after losing weight and then tried to hide in baggy T-shirts, so headed abroad earlier this month to have them removed. Including her flights and hotel, the procedure - which got her back to a C cup with a reduction and lift - set Jasmine back around £4,000. While she was on the operating table, she also opted to have upper blepharoplasty to get rid of "fat pockets" on her eyelids which cost a further £900. Jasmine told Fabulous: "I think cosmetic surgery can be dangerous and definitely isn't something to be taken lightly. "However most recently I had my implants removed and a breast reduction and it has substantially improved my confidence and I am so grateful I was able to do this. "I like to be honest about what procedures I have had done, invasive and non-invasive as I feel these things have improved my appearance and I would always be honest about that and work towards keeping beauty standards more realistic." I spent £13k on a Turkey makeover with veneers, a face of filler & a nose job - trolls still say I looked better before She added: "I'm not looking to promote cosmetic surgery to other women but I would always be transparent about what I have done and share my journey and recommendations if it was helpful to them." But after sharing details of her latest procedures, she was hit with a hateful question which read: "Do you ever feel guilty spending money on surgeries etc. when you have a child?" Remaining as transparent and honest as ever, Jasmine said the "short answer is no" before offering a deeper insight into her circumstances and strong work ethic that allow her such luxuries. In her TikTok clip, she said: "I work very hard for everything that I have. "I don't get into debt or sacrifice something in our household to accommodate me having a treatment done. 5 5 "My son is neurodivergent which means he has lots of sensory issues and aversions which. "A lot of the things that I buy for him - whether it's food, toys, playgroups, soft plays, clothes - sometimes like a good 80-90% of that goes in the bin because it triggers him, he doesn't want it, it's upsetting. "I pick him up from playgroups early if he's having a bad time but I don't mind. I spend a lot of money and work really hard to try and make his quality of life as good as possible. "So he doesn't have to sacrifice anything to accommodate me getting a beauty treatment done or a surgery." She continued: "I would just work extra hard and save the money and earn it. I don't drink, I don't socialise, I haven't been on holiday in six years because I don't think he'll cope with the flight and I've always felt bad leaving him. "And I think there is a lot of pressure on women to be a background product of a family. "Like you're a whole human being too so you can do something nice for yourself, you know, why not?" But she did admit: "Where mum guilt would kick in for me is travelling to go under anaesthetic because of course there's the health risk in that. "This is why I'm making sure I am as healthy as possible and I've been to Ross Hall Hospital here [in Scotland] so that I can have check ups and make sure everything's okay before I travel." Mass support Social media users were quick to jump to Jasmine's defence, as one gasped: "What a brass neck of a question to ask!" A second echoed: "What an odd question...I'm married with one son and I still swan off everywhere." A third said: "I think it's plain to see how well looked after and provided for your little boy is and as a sole parent myself I think it is important to do things for yourself when ever possible!" A fourth chimed in: "I've never understood the notion of feeling guilty for spending money on yourself when you have kids … as long as your kids are cared for why should you?!" "Some people just see negative in everything, treat yourself girl", added someone else. Meanwhile, a sixth fumed: "You shouldn't have to explain yourself, you are a good mum and clearly work hard."

What Is Hairline-Lowering Surgery? Experts Explain
Chrissy Teigen recently revealed that she's struggled with hair loss since giving birth to her first child in 2016. Teigen, now a mother of four, revealed her solution to fix the appearance of the obvious thinning on Instagram on May 23rd: hairline-lowering surgery. 'Hi friends! [A] lot of you have been wondering about my hospital pic which is very understandable as I gave no explanation lol. I had a hairline-lowering procedure,' she wrote in the post. 'Lost a lot in the front from babies and it's just very thin up there. When you see it on a carpet, it's ALWAYS extensions.' Pre- and postpartum hair loss is extremely common; the American Pregnancy Association says that it affects about 40% to 50% of mothers. Options to address the hair loss, if you so choose, include supplements or hair restoration treatments, as well as the more invasive hairline-lowering surgery. But you should look into the procedure before going under the knife. What is hairline-lowering surgery? Hairline-lowering surgery, also known as forehead reduction, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that shortens the forehead. To achieve this, Lesley Rabach, MD, board-certified facial surgeon and co-founder of LM Medical NYC, explains that a surgeon will advance the hairline forward towards the brows and remove the excess forehead skin. 'The main goal of a hairline lowering is to reduce the height of the forehead, which creates a more proportionate upper third of the face,' says Dr. Rabach. 'If we think about the horizontal face from the hairline to between the eyebrows, between the eyebrows to under the nose, and under the nose to the bottom of the chin, generally speaking, each section should be about a third [of the face]. If the hairline to the brow is larger than a third, the proportion can create an elongated upper third.' David Shafer, MD, FACS, double board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Shafer Clinic Fifth Avenue, agrees and says that you can think of the 4-finger method to determine if hairline-lowering surgery is something to consider. If you can fit four fingers between your hairline and the top of your brows, there may not be a need to move the hairline. If you can fit five or six fingers, he says this treatment is better suited for you if it's something you truly want. The Benefits Most—if not all—the benefits of getting hairline-lowering surgery are cosmetic. It's a relatively short surgical procedure, says Dr. Rabach, and can help balance proportions. Added cosmetic benefits to this treatment also include giving your eyes a more awake appearance and a more rejuvenated look overall, says Dr. Shafer. The Downsides Downsides are minimal if you're the ideal candidate (Dr. Rabach recommends it for those with already thick hair) for this treatment. Side effects include a mild headache for the first 24 hours post-surgery, but she says that extra-strength Tylenol should be enough to help calm that. Dr. Shafer adds that you might have to wear a light wrap around your head and ice your eyes until your checkup to help with any swelling and bruising around the eyes.

Influencer details horror experience after being forced to pay $26,000 to fix her 'free nose job'
Influencer Isabelle Lux has detailed her horror experience after being forced to pay $26,000 to fix her botched nose job. The 33-year-old recently told People that until she was 21, she could only breathe properly out of one nostril. She said it had 'always bothered' her but didn't realize it was a big issue until a doctor diagnosed her with an internal deviated septum. In 2014, Lux was told she needed to have a septoplasty operation to straighten the inside of her nose. And, when she was planning the surgery, she realized that because it was a medically-insured procedure, she could also ask for cosmetic changes too. 'People were like, "Oh, you can get a free nose job,"' the TikTok star told the outlet. 'It never really occurred to me. I actually always liked my nose.' However, the content creator admitted that though there were internal issues, nothing was noticeable from the outside, so she didn't need any cosmetic changes. Once she started thinking more about the procedure, she decided to request that the doctors make her nose 'a little bit cuter.' 'We didn't talk at all about aesthetics. I told them before, I was like, "Make it cute,"' Lux admitted. Despite not talking about her desires with her medical team, she did expect to wake up with a 'nose job nose,' but when she woke up, her nose looked exactly the same as before. Though she could initially breathe much better, things started to change a year after the surgery. 'It was one of those things that I didn't really notice changing because it was so gradual,' she explained. 'Until one day I looked underneath and it was completely closed on one side.' Lux had no idea what had happened to her nose since the initial success and began to question what they did during her septoplasty operation. 'I think they tried to straighten out my septum by attaching it to something in the nose,' she guessed. The TikTok star, who admits she is 'aesthetically driven,' started to panic after realizing her nose was collapsing on one side. 'I was shocked. It looked to me like a Voldemort nose,' Lux shared. 'I was like, "This cannot be. I have to go see a good surgeon."' During the time between the two operations, her nose had lost its original shape - which was the one she liked. 'At a certain point, it was just so messed up,' the influencer reflected. 'I had to get a really expensive, fancy nose job after that to fix it.' Lux spent $26,000 for a rhinoplasty to repair her nostril. And, after her traumatic experience, the influencer wanted to make sure she was transparent with fans about what she went through. 'Nobody shares the full story. They just share little tiny pieces,' she said. 'I know that everyone's trying to use insurance to get a septoplasty nose job. Don't do it. It's not even worth it. 'It's the same thing with teeth. It's the same thing with everything.' Lux said that if TikTok was around when she went through her first experience, she would have shared her results immediately and when they took a turn. 'If I were to have shared my septoplasty nose job journey, I would've been like, "Great, look at me. I got a free nose job everyone should do it,"' she told the outlet. 'Because that's how information is shared right now. It's so quick. You don't get the real "after."' Lux said - after her horror experience - she doesn't pick the cheaper option when it comes to these kinds of operations. That was her key message in a TikTok video about her surgery. In the video, she posted her collapsed nostril as a warning to others who get 'free' medically insured nose jobs. 'I think people are using these cheaper aesthetic options, especially surgeries, as ways to not even have to really consider the consequences. When it's free, you're like, "Yeah, I'll take it." You don't think things through,' Lux explained. 'If you have to pay up, then you start considering, okay, who's the doctor? Who am I seeing? What are the possible repercussions? What exactly do I want to come out of it?'
