I forked out for a body overhaul after losing 14st but my body’s been left a mess – my belly button looks like a hernia
A MUM who lost a whopping 14st was left with a botched makeover after forking out for a tummy tuck that went wrong.
When US-based mum, Victoria Michaels (@nulleigh), shred 14st, the dramatic weight loss also left her with piles of excess skin.
Despite loving the new slimmer body, the hard-working and dedicated mum, believed to be from the US, couldn’t wait to see what her toned curves would look like without the old skin.
After some thinking, Victoria decided to fork out for surgery and a tummy tuck – but the dream of a makeover soon turned into a nightmare.
”I dreamed for the day I would finally have my skin removal surgery after loosing almost 200lbs.
”Never did I imagine that these would be my results,” she revealed the horrific aftermath in a video posted on TikTok.
According to the fitness fan, who works as a lash guru, she was ”made to believe” she would be getting a fleur de Lis abdominoplasty, as well as a belly button relocation and a pubic left.
The expert, she added in the clip, reassured that she would come out of the surgery ”totally flat” and that she would be trading all the loose skin for a scar.
Victoria went on: ”I never imagined when I agreed to the vertical and horizontal scars that I would have all of this loose skin forever.
”Not to mention a belly button that looks like it has a hernia.”
Unfortunately, the nightmare story didn’t end there, as she claimed that the surgeon behind this refused to issue a refund for the tragic results.
The same person, the mum added, also did not believe that the surgery needed to be revised.

”She feels she did a proper procedure. I disagree completely.”
Since being shared on the popular platform, Victoria’s heart-breaking story has gone viral on TikTok, amassing more than 1.3million views.
”I’m so sorry. Lawsuit,” one urged the mum to sue the plastic surgery guru responsible.
”DO NOT go back to them!” another said.
”This is your life, your happiness, find a reputable reconstructive plastic surgeon that can fix it even if it takes time.”
Meanwhile, someone else thought: ”The surgery looks good!
”That is a one surgery result. Normally if you had lost a lot of weight, you need more than one surgery to achieve your goal.”
”I’m so sorry! That’s so disappointing and expensive.
”You deserve better, know that,” a fourth told Victoria who claimed she now had to fork out over £12k to fix the disaster.
