A Woman Gave Up Her Home and Everything She Had for a Face Lift. But Her Loved Ones Are Wondering, “Was It Worth It?”

Feeling comfortable in our own skin and confident in our bodies doesn’t necessarily have to come with a hefty price tag. However, numerous cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries tend to be quite expensive. Kelly Beasley, a 50-year-old woman from the United States, made the decision to put her house up for sale in order to raise the necessary funds. Yet, she firmly believes that every dollar she spent was entirely justified.

Beasley reached a point in her late 40s when she realized she was no longer content with her appearance. “Around 48, my face started dropping fast. The changes were astounding. Fillers were not going to make a difference,” the woman explained. Her quest for a solution led her to explore a cosmetic procedure commonly known as a “facelift.” However, the price quotes she received for this procedure were exorbitant.

She chose to go under the knife in Mexico, where the surgery was more affordable, costing 14,000 dollars. Beasley also put up her home for sale as a “cushion,” so she could use the money to pay for the procedure. Although the surgery lasted for 4 hours, Kelly Beasley revealed she felt no pain after, and there was only a slight discomfort. But she had to wear a “face bra” for a couple of weeks and wait to recover before she could actually see the results.

But according to Kelly Beasley, the procedure was completely worth the wait and the financial sacrifices. “The results are beyond what I expected — I didn’t expect to look younger,” the woman explained. “People say I look in my 30s. I’m loving my look and looking my most fabulous that I can.”

However, not all commentators were unanimous about Kelly’s decision. While some supported her, others wondered why she needed the surgery in the first place.

Despite that, some strangers online criticized Beasley for her decision when she decided to upload some videos to TikTok about her results. But she remains firm in her decision, and she’s also an advocate for plastic surgery acceptance. “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.”

Kelly Beasley has been a passionate traveler for quite some time, so living in a van rather than a traditional house has turned out to be an unexpected advantage for her. As a full-time solo traveler and blogger, Beasley has the opportunity to delve deeper into her global explorations while chronicling her van life experiences. What’s more, she’s able to relish her youthful appearance, courtesy of the facelift she underwent.

Kelly Beasley said: "If we do too much, we’re vain or insecure. If you don’t do anything, wear make up or do your hair, 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? Part of that for me is having plastic surgery.”

Even though that decision took away her home, it gave Kelly much more. Now, she is enjoying her new face and the opportunities her new life has given her.

There is nothing wrong with changing your appearance through plastic surgery. The main thing is to make this decision without rushing. After all, the results of such operations do not make everyone happy.
