Under the knife: Yazmin Oukhellou revealed she had her ‘traumatic’ Brazilian butt lift after being subjected to cruel comments online about her body
Yazmin said of his surgery, “ It’s pretty traumatic. I really don’t want people to think I’m promoting to young girls … it’s not something that I encourage people to go out and get, but it made me feel a lot better in swimming suit.
The reality TV star, who has had breast augmentation and nose jobs before, said she didn’t think she would have had the butt lift if it wasn’t in the public eye.
She said: ‘If I wasn’t in this industry I don’t know if I would have. It’s difficult. I think I don’t mind the comments, but they do.
“Sometimes if I was wearing certain things I would get comments like ‘is she going to have a baby?’ And, ‘someone put on weight!’ When I started TOWIE, the abuse I suffered for my nose was horrible. So I have a nose job!

Yazmin added that James told her she didn’t need to go under the knife, but could see how it improved her confidence.
The star kept her plans to keep the procedure quiet, only telling her mother she was having surgery after she had already been booked so she couldn’t talk her out.
Yazmin, who said she suffered from low self-esteem, realized she needed to repair herself “ on the inside ” rather than having more surgeries.
The brunette added that she feels a lot of pressure to look good in the spotlight, saying there is a lot of competition in the industry.

Yazmin also admitted that she would love to be Kim Kardashian from the UK, but insisted that she wouldn’t get an ass ‘as big as hers’.
The TV star said she had no concerns about the consequences of the operation except that her skin would stretch when she became pregnant in the future.
Yazmin added that she and James wanted to start trying for a baby in the next few years and had already chosen names, both starting with L.
Yazmin also hit back at criticism from influencers heading to Dubai amid the coronavirus pandemic, insisting she is here to work.
She said: ‘It’s pretty traumatic. I really don’t want people to think I’m promoting to young girls … go out and get it, but it made me feel a lot better in a swimsuit ‘
Since arriving in Dubai, the beauty has shared several searing updates as she made the most of her downtime by the pool.
Their Dubai vacation comes amid growing fury against many influencers and reality TV stars who are ‘bending the rules’ to travel abroad, which was only escalated after Boris Johnson has announced that the country will enter a third lockdown.
Yazmin had previously been criticized by fans when she flew to town with James for “ commercial purposes. ”
She later hit back at the backlash, explaining that she is starting a new business in Dubai in the future.
Wow! During her business trip to Dubai, the TOWIE star regularly shared poolside snaps on Instagram.
“Just to let you know, James and I have come to Dubai because I’m launching something very exciting here in this New Year.
“ I had to come now to put everything in place and we’ll keep you posted, ” she said in a video shared on her Instagram story.
“So we are here for work, for business. Obviously we will make the most of it while we are here. But we are here for business purposes.
Several Love Island stars have also been forced to hit back at angry fans after being criticized for taking a vacation during the global pandemic.

It was recently revealed that new rules will require international travelers to come back negative after a PCR test before arriving in England.
From 4 a.m. on January 15, passengers arriving by boat, train or plane – including British nationals – must take a test up to 72 hours before leaving the country.
They will need to present proof of a negative test result – using a PCR test or, in some cases, LAMP or side flow test – to their carrier upon boarding while the UK Border Force will perform spot checks at the arrival.
New arrivals who do not follow the rules will face a minimum fine of £ 500, while the operator who transported them will also be fined.
Passengers will still need to be quarantined for 10 days regardless of the results of their tests, Transport Minister Robert Courts said in a statement.
