People who are unhappy with their physical appearance often choose artificial methods to enhance their body features. In a recent case, a 50-year-old woman decided to go under the knife to look more youthful. Michelle Wood is an American TikToker who underwent a massive physical transformation through a full facelift, forehead lift and lip lift.
He described his extensive plastic surgery journey in a series of social media posts. In one of her original videos, she said, “The forehead lift is really to address my uneven brows and then because I have a landing strip on my forehead where my hair should be.”
He expressed that he aimed to show “the good, the bad and the ugly” part of plastic surgery. Her video garnered over 2 million views, which motivated her to keep her fans updated.
Wood said she chose a surgeon based on reviews. She said: “I didn’t want to look 20. I just want to look like I’ve been asleep for 30 years.”

Wood is a single mother of two. She revealed that she had lost a huge amount of weight twice in her life and believes this is what “did a lot” to her skin. Expressing her excitement, she said the people around her were very supportive of her decision to go under the knife.
She has been actively updating her fans post-surgery, including photos of her recovery process. In one of her TikTok posts shortly after the procedure, her face appeared extremely swollen. But more than three weeks after the surgery, she feels she’s almost healed.
In addition to facelifts, he also had a mini chin implant. Her magical transformation has stunned viewers as she clearly looks much younger in post-surgery photos and videos. One viewer expressed his surprise as he wrote: “When I saw #over50 I was SHOCKEDDDDD you look SO young. Like 25-30.”
Another added, “Omg I thought I saw a 25 year old talking about her face lift. I went back to see your previous videos because I was wondering what you looked like before and I’m amazed!!!! You’re over 50???!!! Wow- amazing.”
One TikTok user even called her a “young Amanda Bynes,” while another added: “Best facelift I’ve ever seen.
However, Wood’s transformation journey has not been without criticism. While a few people criticized the desire to look younger, others defended Wood. One person wrote: “You can be grateful for your age while also wanting to look younger. There’s nothing wrong with that, especially when it’s not your body.”
Wood further revealed how much it cost her to get the facelift. He said he paid the MX surgeon $270,000 pesos “which is about as close as I can figure at current conversion rates of about $14,000.”
After the procedure, he spent 10 days in a recovery home for which he was charged $1000. He explained, “It involved transporting food to and from appointments, appointments in hyperbaric wards and then also round-the-clock nursing care.” So, she spent a total of 15 thousand dollars to transform her appearance and heal after the surgery. He calls it a “great” and “very, very reasonable” experience.
