The 52-year-old mother of two who has spent $148k to look like a 30-year-old
THE 52-year-old mother has had multiple surgeries, including a thigh gap operation that was botched so badly she needs to have it repaired.
A PLASTIC-SURGERY obsessed mum-of-two has splashed out $148,000 on procedures to help her look 30 even though she’s 52.
Bee Cameron is so desperate to turn back the hands of time she’s run up $10,400 of debt and suffered through botched surgeries.
She’s lavished cash on liposuction, three boob jobs, an eye lift, surgery to give her a thigh gap and improve the look of her hands.
“Surgery boosts my confidence and I often get chatted up by men as young as 18. It’s flattering, and no one believes me when I tell them how old I am,” she said.
“Now, I don’t date anyone over 35, and have a great sex life as a result and I look forward to my procedures like someone looks forward to a date.
“I consider my body an ever changing work of art. I am not hurting anyone and I find the fact I can change and control my appearance empowering.
“I know some people may criticise but it’s my life and my body.”
Bee has just got back from a holiday where she celebrated her 52nd birthday — no one could believe how old she was.
She’s in the middle of getting jabs in her hands to help them look less wrinkled, a procedure dubbed the ‘Madonna hand job’ by some.
“The skin thins with age and the fillers give them more depth and help reverse the ageing process,” she said.
“I have to have three to four further sessions to ensure its perfect, and as well I have just had fillers to sculpt my cheeks and jaw line and more Botox.”
Bee began to think about changing her body after she breastfed her kids, and this is when her ‘plastic fantastic’ fascination began.
“I had my kids and was dull and boring in my 20s and 30s and even 40s,” she said.
“I decided in my 40s I wanted a new body, a new look, a new image and I wanted to be 30 again — 50 is the new 30 — people say that I have used plastic surgery to produce a body that proves it and I will have the latest and most radical surgeries just to see the effect.
“I was also partly inspired by the sexiness of Jessica Rabbit — that ‘50s sex appeal was what I wanted.”
Bee began by having some Botox injections and filler to remove eye bags.
She was amazed by how great the results were, so immediately decided to get some more.
A boob job became her next goal, with the mum explaining: “After breastfeeding my breasts were left looking like bags of marbles.
“I remember when I was feeding my children I loved the larger size so I set about replicating that size.”
She went under the knife in 2007, but by 2011 her dream chest had become a nightmare.
“I had to have my implants removed because one implant had ruptured,” she explained.
“The left was literally squeezed out of my breast due to a PIP implant rupture.”
This didn’t put her off though, and Bee soon had another op on her boobs boosting them to an HH cup thanks to half a litre of saline in each.
“I wanted them big and plastic looking and out there. I wanted to be 50 and proud of my breasts. The PIP scare didn’t worry me I went back for more surgery,” she said.
Next up Bee decided to tackle her thighs, as she wasn’t happy with their shape. She wanted a gap between them, so decided the surgeon’s knife was the best way to achieve one. Unfortunately, things once again didn’t go to plan.
“I had the procedure were fat is sucked out of the inner thighs and skin is pulled and meant to create even and thinner thighs and a gap like high-end catwalk models have,” she said.
“However once the extensive bruising had disappeared and I’d worn the special customised leg tights for six weeks I was horrified to see my surgeon had botched the procedure.”
Bee’s legs were left lumpy and with pulled skin.
She’s now making it her mission to ensure other women realise the risks with this kind of surgery.
It will cost $10,300 to repair the results of the botched procedure, which the mum is saving up for at the moment.
The experience hasn’t put her off updating her look though, and Bee has Botox and fillers between three and five times a year. She also has her lips maintained so they always look full, and she’s had eyebrow tattoos.
On top of this, she’s been to Hungary to have her teeth capped for $17,250 plus she’s splashed out on a mini silhouette face lift to help her jaw line look tight.
She wants a butt job in the future, as well as another face lift, laser surgery around the eyes and Botox in her feet to stop high heels from hurting.
There are non-invasive procedures on her list too, including a vampire face lift, IPL laser treatments, regular face peels, facials and dermabrasion as well as detoxifying massages to drain unwanted fluid.
Regular hair extensions, pedicures and spa weekends cost even more money, with the mum saving, using credit cards and taking out loans.
“Over the past decade I have spent a lot but it adds up slowly and until you add it up you don’t realise the costs which includes travel and accommodation and consultations,” she admitted.
“My only regret is the thigh gap surgery — I need that fixed.
“It’s botched and for me I think we should have a central list people can name and shame surgeons on — with so many people having all different types of surgery it’s time to have such a site or perhaps a patient rating site with gold stars or a site where people can openly list their botched surgeries and find surgeons happy to repair it at a discount.”
Bee had her first invasive procedure when she was in her 40s and freely admits she looks completely different now to when she was in her 20s and 30s.
She’s used to people from her past failing to recognise her and loves being mistaken for someone 20 years younger — especially as it means she’s constantly approached by younger guys when she’s out.
Bee has got used to being chased by toyboys, which could be part of the reason she’s vowed to still be going under the knife in her 90s.
“It used to be you had children and just got old,” she said.
“Now we can turn back the clock and for me the plastic look is what I like.
“It may not rock other people’s worlds but it does mine so before you moan remember it’s my life.”
Not everyone is such a fan of her look — Bee admits some of her family worry about her repeatedly going under anaesthetic.
Still she won’t give up on her dream body.
“I am proud of my body and after celebrating my 52nd birthday with Botox and fillers and a summer holiday to Europe I can’t wait for another short break away to show off my Jessica Rabbit breasts in a bikini,” she said.
