I was scolded for paying £34,000 for a facelift at 34, but it’s so worth it
A mum has revealed she desperately ‘begged’ a surgeon for a facelift at the age of 34.
Blonde beauty Ashley Stobart, from Hale, is better known to her fans as one of the hosts of the Nip Tuck podcast alongside friend Lauren Harris.
The bubbly duo recently appeared on Love Island star Olivia Attwood’s podcast So wrong, it’s right to discuss everything – from co-parenting and being a single mother, to the cosmetic procedures they’ve had, including Ashley’s obsession with a more youthful appearance.
Speaking on the podcast, reality TV star Olivia, 33, said: “Ashley, let’s talk about the facelift because I know people will be obsessed with this.
Three months ago you underwent a complete facelift […] People will say, who cares, she’s 34, this is crazy.”
Olivia called Ashley’s decision to go under the knife at the age of 34 ‘extreme’ and wanted to know why the stunner opted for the dramatic surgery.
Ashley explained: “Honestly, through years of filling, dissolving, filling, dissolving, treating, the new s***, all of this, I had just lost the definition in my face.
”I didn’t look like myself anymore because I had been stuffed and stuffed back in.
”Obviously I was pregnant a number of times in a short period of time.
”And if you have fillers and you are pregnant, fillers retain water.
”So my face was… huge. And then I had a double chin, which didn’t look good.
“So yeah, I just thought, I need a facelift and I was going to get one.”
During her journey, the beauty enthusiast revealed that it wasn’t as easy as she had hoped.
Chat during the episodeshe recalled being repeatedly “rejected” by a surgeon, whom she emailed annually, only to be denied treatment because of her age.
Ashley chuckled, “The person we were talking about earlier, yes. Every year I would send him an email – ‘please?’
“Don’t try again next year. No more attempt next year. It went on like this for four years.

”And his prices had quadrupled in four years. So now he starts at £60,000 or something like that.”

In the end, the blonde fashionista left a whopping 4cm off each side of her face, creating a more snatched look.
“I’m really happy with it,” Ashley said, before revealing minimal scarring around her ears.
During the nine-hour operation, the mother added, they spent hours squeezing out all the ”green” filler.
The expensive facelift hasn’t come without criticism from trolls and haters, but that doesn’t bother Ashley.
”It’s my money […]so I decided to go and be well informed about my decision and do it very safely.
