The mum-of-two, 35, is showing off the results of £32,000 ‘internal corset’ surgery after shedding nine stone in just seven months, leaving her struggling with a ‘hanging leather apron tummy’.

After losing nine stone in just seven months, Kelly White wasn’t happy with her new figure – so she spent £32,000 on plastic surgery to give her the body of her dreams.

The mother-of-two, 35, underwent gastric sleeve surgery after a relationship break-up left her eating for comfort – and her weight ballooned to 20 stone.

He said: “This was too heavy for my 5ft 3in frame and meant I looked like a bowling ball with arms.

“I was at my lowest point and even though I was feeding my kids healthy food and putting them first, I wasn’t looking after myself properly and didn’t prioritize my own health and well-being.

“I hid my body under baggy size 18 clothes and although I tried diets and managed to lose two stone, I knew I had a lot more to lose.”

Mrs White, from Letchworth in North Hertfordshire, decided to take drastic action and in May 2024 underwent gastric sleeve surgery.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of bariatric (weight loss) surgery that involves removing a large part of the stomach, so it is much smaller than it was before.

It is offered on the NHS, but only to people who meet strict criteria. they must be obese and have tried all other weight loss methods without success.

By reducing the size of the stomach, patients cannot eat as much, and moreover their hunger is satisfied sooner.

This reduction in calories—which is significant compared to their life before surgery—can lead to weight loss.

Ms White’s gastric sleeve operation was successful and she lost seven stone by December, bringing her to her target weight of a healthy 11 stone.

But after losing all her weight, she was left with a “skin flap”.

“I always knew that losing this amount of weight so quickly would leave me with excess skin, and it did,” she said.

“Although I felt better about my size, I hated the loose flap in my stomach. I tried no end of shapewear, but nothing could hold it.’

In addition, she had been struggling with constant back pain due to the development of a rectus abdominis – a separation of the stomach muscles – since her second pregnancy.

To fix her dysfunctional abs and remove loose skin that diet or exercise couldn’t change, she decided to go under the knife again, spending £32,000 on a series of operations. corset abdominoplasty, also known as a abdominoplasty.

After seeing their previous results on Instagram, Ms White booked a consultation with Plastic Surgery Group at their clinic in London.

She met with Consultant Plastic Surgeon Dr Mo Akhavani, co-founder of the clinic, and shared her concerns and hopes.

“I explained that I also wanted to address my sagging breasts and also told him about the back pain I was having,” Ms White said.

“He examined me and explained that my stomach muscles had separated, which is common during pregnancy.

“But they hadn’t been repaired so he could still fit his fist between the muscles and that was probably the reason for my back problems.

“Advised breast implant replacement and lift 360 lipo corset abdominoplasty, or in other words a complete ‘mummy makeover’.

In April this year, during the six-hour surgery, five pounds of excess skin were removed from her abdomen and 174 grams of skin was removed from each breast.

Her core muscles were also repaired with an internal corset procedure and her existing 380g breast implants were replaced with smaller 300g ones.

Mrs. White underwent a full “mummy makeover.”

She also had two liters of fat removed by liposuction.

“Then I was pain-free and recovered within six weeks,” he said.

“My stomach flap was gone and my breasts were a similar size but perkier.

“For the first time I felt confident about my body.

“I loved being able to go into regular stores and pick out size eight to 10 clothes from the racks, from belly tops to figure-hugging dresses.”

She added: ‘I’m 107kg now and apart from the obvious physical transformation, it’s changed my mental health too.

“I feel more positive about life than I have in years.

“I no longer suffer from back pain and my posture is better and I feel stronger when I exercise.

“I call Dr Mo Akhavani a wizard because he didn’t just remove my excess skin, he restored my confidence and transformed me from the inside out! I never felt better.’

Mr Akhavani said Ms White was a prime candidate for this type of procedure.

“Kelly came to see me after losing a significant amount of weight,” he said.

This left her with loose skin around her upper and lower abdomen and sides, as well as a loss of breast shape.

“She had had breast implants before which had been affected by the weight loss, and therefore I had to devise a surgical procedure to deal with the breasts at the same time as the excess abdominal skin which was both horizontal and vertical excess.

“Therefore, I suggested a corset abdominoplasty and also a corset repair internally to strengthen the abdominal wall after pregnancy and weight fluctuation.”
