A MUM-OF-TWO has told how she forked out a whopping \u00a315,495 on a mummy makeover ahead of her fairytale wedding and honeymoon.<\/p>\n

Rachel Walker, 31, who lives in Sheffield with her two children Ella, 13, and Emilia, 3, and husband Karl, 33, says she was left with a tummy that looked like a "sunken pie" after falling pregnant at 17.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

With her wedding day just around the corner along with a week-long honeymoon to St Lucia, the occupational perinatal mental health nurse, who hadn't worn a bikini since she was 17, was determined to feel confident and beautiful on her big day.<\/p>\n

So, she booked in for six hour surgery with Mr Amer Hussain at Pall Mall Cosmetics, Newton-le-Willows, which included a tummy tuck, liposuction, muscle repair, breast enlargement and breast uplift – taking her from a 32D to 32E.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to Fabulous Digital, Rachel recalls: "I was 17 when I became pregnant with my eldest.<\/p>\n

"I\u2019d never really heard much about stretch marks or excess skin, I just assumed I would 'bounce back' but that never happened.<\/p>\n

"My biggest insecurity was definitely the loose and wrinkly skin on my stomach. <\/p>\n

My post-baby tummy initially looked like a sunken pie, very wrinkly around my belly button with a pouch at the bottom<\/p>\n

"You couldn\u2019t even see my belly button as it was concealed in this big wrinkle, and it had a massive pouch at the bottom."<\/p>\n

The mum-of-two says she was also selective of what clothes she'dwear because of how her stomach looked.<\/p>\n

"I was so self-conscious, and it made me feel sick with anxiety so most of the time I'd just avoid going out full stop," she recalls.<\/p>\n

"If I did go out, I always had to plan ahead and think about what
I was going to wear to make sure that I was completely covered up so nobody could see my stomach."<\/p>\n

"I was 17 the last time I wore a bikini. <\/p>\n

"I'd never get my stomach out at all and would wear shapewear to suck me in under pretty much all of my clothes which was really
uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

"At one point I was going to the gym 7 times a week on a restricted diet but that didn\u2019t really help either.<\/p>\n

"I was very self-conscious and still so embarrassed of my stomach."<\/p>\n

Rachel met her husband when her eldest daughter was five and recalls how he'd always tell her she "looked beautiful." <\/p>\n

However, she says that while her loose skin didn't bother him, it didn't stop her from feeling self-conscious.<\/p>\n

"I became pregnant in 2019 and we had our second daughter in 2020," she continues.<\/p>\n

"My stomach didn\u2019t look any worse after this pregnancy, but it didn\u2019t look any better either."<\/p>\n

Rachel tried every cream you could think of and even spent thousands on skin tightening treatments that she
thought would help, but nothing ever worked. <\/p>\n

"One was a kind of needle\/pen which burns the skin to try to tighten and rejuvenate it," she says.<\/p>\n

"They usually use this treatment on wrinkles…this particular treatment was SO expensive and painful and didn\u2019t do anything at all."<\/p>\n

The mum-of-two had always spoken about wanting a tummy tuck but knew she wanted more children.<\/p>\n

So, after deciding their family was complete, and with her wedding planned for September and honeymoon booked, she looked into it in a little more detail.<\/p>\n

I felt amazing on my wedding day, honestly. I didn\u2019t feel self-conscious about how I looked at all and, best of all, I didn\u2019t have to wear the uncomfortable shapewear!<\/p>\n

"When we booked the wedding, I knew I didn\u2019t want to go if I was going to look c**p and feel uncomfortable the whole time so," she explains.<\/p>\n

"So, at the end of March, I enquired about surgery at Pall Mall Cosmetics in Newton-le-Willows to see what could be done.<\/p>\n

"I saw that you could have a mummy makeover which I thought would be great as my breasts were also very saggy after pregnancy and breastfeeding."<\/p>\n

On 14th July, two months before her wedding day, Rachel went under the knife in a bid to get her dream body.<\/p>\n

"The most painful bit was definitely the muscle repair," Rachel recalls.<\/p>\n

"I honestly didn\u2019t feel anything else other than that as it was so painful. <\/p>\n

"When I came round, I felt a bit sick and was worried about
actually being sick due to the muscle repair pain on my stomach but thankfully I was fine!<\/p>\n

"The team at Pall Mall were all amazing and really looked after me.<\/p>\n

"It was initially quite hard to move, and I needed help getting out of bed due to stomach muscle pain, but I was fine once I was up, it was just that initial movement that was a bit difficult.<\/p>\n

"I didn\u2019t eat a huge amount initially due to the nausea but after a week I was back to eating normally."<\/p>\n

After two weeks Rachel had her drain removed and it wasn't long before she was feeling well enough to return to work.<\/p>\n

Around 8 weeks later she felt fully OK again and was back at the gym – and before she knew it, her dream wedding day had arrived. <\/p>\n

Speaking of how she felt in her figure-hugging white lace bridal gown, she says: "I felt amazing on my wedding day, honestly.<\/p>\n

"I didn\u2019t feel self-conscious about how I looked at all and, best of all, I didn\u2019t have to wear the uncomfortable shapewear!<\/p>\n

"My honeymoon was just a dream. I know that I\u2019m never going to be a supermodel, but I\u2019m so much happier with how I look now. <\/p>\n

"I wore a bikini for the first time since I was 17 which
felt amazing…I honestly never thought I\u2019d wear one ever again.<\/p>\n
