TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou has opened up about her “traumatic” secret Brazilian bum lift surgery.
The reality TV personality, 26, has revealed that online comments from trolls – including jibes about her looking pregnant – convinced her to fly to Turkey for the risky £3,000 procedure.
“I'll be honest, it's quite traumatic," she told new! magazine.
"I'm still sore to touch. I hadn't really seen how dangerous the procedure was until after I had it done…"
But she also admitted that she feels better in a bikini because of the procedures that she kept a secret from everyone except her mum.
"It's not something I'm encouraging people to go out and get,” she added.
“But it's made me feel a lot better in a swimsuit.”
Candidly, Yazmin confessed that the pressure of the limelight influenced her decision to go under the knife.
She went as far to say that if she wasn’t working as a TV personality and influencer, she may not have gone down the plastic surgery path.
Yazmin has previously opened up about her decision to get breast implants and a nose job – the latter she put down to “awful” abuse about the size of her nose when she first joined the ITV2 Essex reality series.
She said: “If I wasn't in this industry, I don't know if I'd have got it done.
“It is hard. I make out the comments don't bother me, but they do.
“Sometimes if I would wear certain things I'd get comments like ‘is she having a baby?’ and ‘someone's put on the pounds!’”
Boyfriend James Lock, 34, tried to convince Yazmin that her latest surgeries weren’t necessary, though thinks they’ve boosted her confidence.
Currently, the couple are sunning it up on a “business” trip to Dubai – complete with plenty of bikini-clad Instagram snaps.
Yazmin fiercely defended the decision to travel late last year.
She said in an Instagram video: “Just so you know, me and James have come to Dubai because I am launching something very exciting here in the New Year.
“We are here for work purposes, for business. Obviously we'll make the most of it while we're here as well. But we are here for business purposes.”
Numerous influencers and Love Island stars have also come under fire for enjoying trips to Dubai during lockdown.
