For Tracy Kiss, life in plastic wasn’t so fantastic.
So, the mom made a drastic change, spending over $160,000 to reverse her cosmetic surgeries — and to look more like her little ones.
She’s in the growing number of once overly-augmented hotties, who are now “downsizing” their add-ons for more natural finishes. From playboy models to everyday 9-to-5ers, surgically enhanced head-turners are ditching overdone makeovers for understated alterations.
And Kiss is no exception to the re-do rule.
“What started off as a very innocent ‘treat’ to have pretty nails and a nice tan for summer in my teens ultimately turned me into an unrecognizable Barbie doll in time,” Kiss, 36, a nutrition influencer from the UK, explained to NeedToKnow.com.
A recovering glutton for glamor, the millennial mama spent most of her young adulthood under the knife, undergoing five boob jobs, a chin liposuction, an upper eyelid lift, a rhinoplasty, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), labiaplasty, teeth straightening and more.
But the beautifications didn’t stop there.
Kiss also opted for quarterly Botox and facial fillers, as well as other beauty treatments such as semi-permanent makeup and eyelash extensions.
Her extremely embellished bod often triggered a battery of “soul-destroying stares” and nasty comments from women, both online and in-person, who feared she was “after their husbands” due to her “super-sized doughnut breasts.”
Kiss’ eye-popping looks even garnered dirty looks from haters who spotted her spending quality time with her brood at the beach or during school pickups and drop-offs.
“People judged me negatively and assumed that I would be self-obsessed and uneducated,” said the social media siren, with 1.2 million Instagram followers.
“They believed I was unhappy and hated myself, so [I] had to turn to surgery and aesthetics to feel ‘beautiful,’” she moaned, “which wasn’t the case.”
Instead, Kiss claims she unwittingly got sucked into a plastic surgery spiral.
“It’s all too easy to spend [$80] per week on lashes and nails, which then becomes hundreds per month when you factor in hair appointments, tanning, Botox and fillers top-ups,” said the British bombshell. “Before you know it, you suddenly have huge thick eyebrows, big lips and a motionless face with the smallest of imperfections becoming blindingly obvious.”
But not looking like herself or her children gave Kiss the kick in the BBL she needed to make some re-modifications.
“I realized that the woman staring back at me in the mirror isn’t the person that I know myself to be,” she confessed.
In August, the pinup shelled out over $6,000 for a breast reduction operation in Turkey, taking her ta-tas from a tremendous 32H to a more reasonable 32C.
She also paid several pretty pennies to dissolve the filler in her chin, jawline, nose and lips, and cancelled her Botox sessions as well as hair and nail appointments.
Kiss says she had to “reach that point of fake-ness in order to bounce back, wake up and return to my natural self.”
“I realized my choices over my appearance were only taking me further away from my authenticity and personality,” she admitted. “So removing it feels like returning home.”
It’s an expensive de-transition that’s been paying off in spades.
“Now I actually look like my own children,” Kiss gushed. “I receive so many compliments for looking much younger without makeup and ‘not trying too hard.’”
She looks forward to spending this summer with her kids sans judgmental stares from trolls.
“I feel far happier and healthier rolling out of bed and enjoying life without spending hours in the mirror fretting over signs of aging,” said the au natural belle.
“I live life for myself, as an individual, without the need to impress or compete with anybody because of my appearance,” Kiss continued. “I don’t need beauty to feel beautiful, I just have to be myself.”
