COSMETIC surgery is becoming an increasingly common way for people to become more comfortable in their bodies.
Ashley Stobart is one of many who has gone under the knife in the past to make small alterations to her appearance.
Ashley has always been very honest about what work she’s had done to her appearance, and even co-hosts the podcast Nip, Tuck, We Don’t Give A….
In an episode released on 1 February 2023, she discussed the pros and cons of having cosmetic tweakments with her co-host Lauren Harris.
35-year-old Ashley said she Googled her name only to be faced with a barrage of hateful comments about how she looks.
Ashley recalled how online users wrote about how she “had so much work done”.
The mum-of-three, who had her first lip fillers aged 18, went onto share her decision to have bum implants.
“It’s very sore but anyway I was going to tell and share the whole process,” she said shortly after undergoing the procedure at the age of 33.
She said she “couldn’t lie” about the operation, adding she gets “abused for telling it and abused for not”.
“You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t,” the two women said together.
Ashley, who joked that “hot girls don’t gate-keep”, got candid about the increasingly popular procedure.
She said she “guarantees 98% of influencers or people that put up fitness videos have had this done” to improve the shape of their bottom.
Lauren praised Ashley’s for her openness, commending her positivity on the often taboo topic of cosmetic surgery.
She admitted that she was initially hesitant about her friend’s procedure: “I was like ‘Aw mate, bit far this now’ but it looks really good, it does, I’m not going to deny.”
[boxout headline=”How are bum implants different to a Brazilian Butt Lift?”]A bum implant is a surgical procedure where silicon is inserted into the buttocks to add volume.
On the other hand, a BBL uses fat harvested from another area of the body, often the abdomen of thighs, and injects it into the buttocks to enhance the shape.
The key difference is bum implants use a foreign material while BBL’s use the patient’s own fat.
And while she was happy with the end result, Ashley was sure to share the harsh realities of the process.
“That’s another reason you said you were going to talk about it because it has been quite mentally [difficult],” Lauren said.
Ashley revealed that she had spent most of her recovery period lying on her front.
She said she felt “bloated” and “horrible” after the surgery, but has kept a positive outlook.
As well as speaking openly to destigmatise cosmetic procedures, Ashley is also the founder of skincare line Cosmetic Consult.
As a qualified skin specialist, Ashley created the bespoke facial clinic to help her customers to “feel amazing and achieve a glass-skin glow that allows you to confidently go makeup-free”.
