I have wilfully succumbed to the pressures of cosmetic surgery, and I have no intentions of stopping!

The pressures of social media to look like a supermodel are ever present and to maintain a youthful appearance consuming.

I have recently become a cosmetic surgery tourist, having travelled to Istanbul, Turkey for an eyelift procedure, and my partner a hair transplant.

I did not intend to have an eyelift. It just kind of happened when I got there. It’s just too easy! Like selecting an option, stepping on the conveyor belt, and boom, it’s done. And just like that, my cosmetic surgery journey has begun.

I was amazed at the volume of people moving through the clinic having procedures, the fast pace of it, and also the samenpeolpe walking about Istanbul itself. This must literally be the capital of cosmetic surgery.

I’m already planning my next procedure in my bid to look as good as those in the adverts, Instagram, and whatever else social media has to offer.

Wish me luck!
