At 50, Kelly Beasley sold her home to fund a cosmetic transformation, believing the financial sacrifice was worth the investment. She is convinced that embracing self-confidence and feeling comfortable in her own body can be life-changing.
While many cosmetic procedures come with a hefty price tag, Kelly believes it doesn’t always have to break the bank. For her, the transformation was a worthwhile investment in her well-being.
n her late 40s, Kelly Beasley realized she was unhappy with her appearance. “Around 48, my face started dropping fast. Fillers weren’t enough,” she said. She explored cosmetic options and considered a facelift but was shocked by the high price quotes, forcing her to think of ways to make it possible.
Kelly Beasley chose to have her surgery in Mexico, where it cost $14,000. To fund the procedure, she sold her home. The surgery lasted four hours, but Kelly reported no pain afterward, only slight discomfort. She wore a “face bra” for a couple of weeks and had to wait for recovery before seeing the results.
Kelly Beasley believes the procedure was worth both the wait and the financial sacrifices. “The results are beyond what I expected — I didn’t think I’d look younger,” she said. “People say I look in my 30s. I’m loving my look and feeling my most fabulous.”
However, not everyone agreed with Kelly’s decision. While some applauded her for taking charge of her happiness, others questioned why she felt the need for surgery at all.
- Now this 50 year old looks like a 45 year old. Bargain!
- What a waste of money, The 2nd pic looks different as she is wearing oodles of make up. Any woman can do this with the minimum of cost.
- She doesn’t look any different apart from that she is wearing makeup and there is a filter on the ’after’ photo. I bet she looks very plastic in real life too. Good luck living in a van!
- She looks great, but its not worth selling your house to redo your face. There are so many non invasive and cheaper ways to have a better and youthful skin ( Botox, skin tightening, etc.) and also working out and eating healthy. All this would have taken some time, but at least shes keep her house.
Despite the mixed opinions, Beasley stands by her choice and has become an advocate for embracing plastic surgery. “I’m going to do what I want to do. Why not live the most fabulous life? Part of that for me is having plastic surgery,” she affirmed.
Kelly Beasley, a passionate traveler, has found living in a van an unexpected advantage. As a full-time solo traveler and blogger, she documents her global adventures while embracing the freedom of van life. Her youthful appearance, enhanced by the facelift, adds to her enjoyment of the journey.
Kelly Beasley said, “If we do too much, we’re seen as vain or insecure. If we do nothing, they say ‘you’ve let yourself go.’ It’s exhausting. I’m going to do what I want to do. Why not live the most fabulous life? For me, part of that is having plastic surgery.”
Although Kelly sacrificed her home for the surgery, it has given her a new sense of confidence and opened up new opportunities.
There’s nothing wrong with altering your appearance through plastic surgery, as long as the decision is made carefully. After all, the results don’t always lead to happiness for everyone.
