Mum and influencer Tracy Kiss said she’s fed up of being a ‘Barbie doll’ and has spent £120,000 to reverse her surgeries after years of being stared at. She says she ‘wants to look like her kids again’
A mum who began indulging in beauty treatments as a teenager has grown weary of being labelled an “unrecognisable Barbie doll” and has now spent £120,000 to undo her cosmetic procedures, swearing off Botox and fillers for life.
Tracy Kiss, who has faced “soul-destroying stares” from women convinced she’s out to snatch their husbands due to her “super-sized doughnut breasts”, is fed up with the judgement and ‘wants to look like her kids again. The 36-year-old, from Buckinghamshire, has endured unwelcome remarks and glances from people both in person and online, making everyday activities like beach trips with her children or the school run a daunting experience.
Throughout nearly two decades, Tracy has had five breast augmentations, chin liposuction, an eyelid lift, nose job, Brazilian butt lift, labiaplasty, teeth straightening among other procedures.
In addition to regular Botox and facial fillers, the mum also maintained her looks with semi-permanent makeup touch-ups and eyelash extensions.
Exhausted by the constant scrutiny, Tracy has spent the past year reverting to a more natural look.
“People judged me negatively and assumed that I would be self-obsessed and uneducated,” said Tracy, who boasts 1.2 million followers on Instagram, in a chat with NeedToKnow.
She expressed how others mistakenly thought she was miserable and loathed herself, believing she needed surgery and aesthetic treatments to feel ‘beautiful’, which she insists was never true.
“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 unrecognisable Barbie doll in time,” she said.
“But I feel that I had to reach that point of fake-ness in order to bounce back, wake up and return to my natural self.
“I realised my choices over my appearance were only taking me further away from my authenticity and personality, so removing it feels like returning home.”
She added: “Now I actually look like my own children and receive so many compliments for looking much younger without makeup and ‘not trying too hard.”
Tracy began her transformative journey in August last year, spending £4,500 on breast reduction surgery in Turkey to change her size from a 32H to a 32C.
Since then, she’s bid farewell to her fillers, which she previously had injected into her chin, jawline, nose, and lips.
The mum has also given Botox the boot and stopped booking follow-up appointments for her hair and nails.
Tracy explained: “It’s all too easy to spend £60 per week on lashes and nails, which then becomes hundreds per month when you factor in hair appointments, tanning, Botox and fillers top-ups.
“Before you know it, you suddenly have huge thick eyebrows, big lips and a motionless face with the smallest of imperfections becoming blindingly obvious.
“I realised that the woman staring back at me in the mirror isn’t the person that I know myself to be.”
Now Tracy brims with newfound confidence and is looking forward to enjoying the summer with her kids without the worry of attracting undue attention.
She remarked: “I feel far happier and healthier rolling out of bed and enjoying life without spending hours in the mirror fretting over signs of ageing.
“I live life for myself, as an individual, without the need to impress or compete with anybody because of my appearance.
“I don’t need beauty to feel beautiful, I just have to be myself.”
