I got a facelift in my 40s like Katie Price, but trolls say I look worse
Caroline Stanbury has revealed that getting a facelift before she turned 50 was the best decision she ever made.
The 48-year-old reality TV star went under the knife for a facelift 10 months ago and said she couldn’t understand why people waited until they were 70 and ‘desperate’.
The Real Housewives of Dubai star showed up in bandages after the facelift, just like Katie Price who underwent her sixth facelift this summer.
Speaking about the operation ten months later, Caroline from Britain revealed it was the best decision she had ever made.
She revealed: “Why on Earth would you do this in your 70s or even late 60s? I don’t understand.
‘I don’t understand now why doctors have always told us to hold on, hold on until we look desperate.

“All I can say is that this has actually been the best decision of my life.”
Speak with PeopleCaroline revealed filler and Botox, which she had been doing since she was 26, did not give her the look she wanted.
“I had a weird eyebrow. My lips got a little weird. My face just [got] rounder and rounder and bigger and bigger, because I kept pumping filler into my jawline,” she said.
Caroline opted to have her filler dissolved and go for a facelift instead, documenting the journey on social media for all to see.
Her surgery consisted of a deep facelift in which excess eyelid skin was removed.
She couldn’t get her eyes raised, which she says made a “big difference” – and is instead relying on Botox for her forehead.
Caroline added that she shared her journey because she doesn’t want people to feel bad about themselves and pretend that her youthful appearance is natural.
“It’s nonsense,” she said. “That’s not what skin looks like in your 40s unless you’ve had it pulled within an inch of your life by a really smart surgeon.”
The clip from her podcast has gone viral on her TikTok account @uncut and uncensored with more than 1 million views.
People were quick to share their thoughts in the comments, with many claiming she looked better before.
When do surgeons recommend a facelift?
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic procedure in which the skin of the face is lifted and retracted to make the face look tighter and smoother. The procedure is intended to reduce loose skin around the lower half of the face (especially the jaws) and neck. .
Plastic surgeon Antony Fitton has revealed the best age to get a facelift if you’re interested.
He said: “A facelift is usually not the best surgical option for anyone under the age of 30, and for those in their 30s there is still the question of whether they should consider the procedure. There must be real signs of aging before a facelift is considered.
“For most people, the benefits of a facelift can be most appreciated in their 40s, 50s and 60s. This is because from around the age of 40 onwards, the signs of aging that a facelift can gradually (or for some, gradually rapidly) reveal. aiming) are becoming increasingly common.
One person wrote: “Ladies love yourselves, you don’t need surgery.”
Another commented: “STOP THIS. Really growing older is true beauty.”
“YOU DON’T NEED SURGERY, PEOPLE OLDER AND THAT’S OKAY AND BEAUTIFUL,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, many approved of the surgery, with a fourth saying: “I got my surgery done small at 45 it was great! Will fill it up at 50.”
“You look amazing,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Did mine at 48, best decision ever.”
