'My £7k mummy makeover in Turkey left me lumpy and bumpy - don't take the risk'

A woman has said she regretted flying over to Turkey for a £7,000 'mummy makeover' - as it left her 'lumpy and bumpy'.

Emma Witney flew out to Istanbul on March 7 to get a tummy tuck, breast lift and a 'fleur de lis' procedure, which removes abdominal fat. But four months later, the 46-year-old said she was left unhappy with the results - and is worried the problems are unfixable.

Mum-of-six Emma claimed she is still prone to bouts of agonising pain, and her body feels 'tight and odd'. She said she does not have any money left to try and fix the issues.

The clinic, which is not being named, was approached for comment but did not respond. Emma, a PA to children with additional needs, said: "I got the surgery in the first place because I was depressed and I wanted to feel better about myself.

"But it's gone so badly I'm now having to double my anti-depressant dose. I paid so much money and now I can't do anything about it.

"Don't take the risk. If you can save enough and do it over here [the UK], do it."

Emma said she had tried to postpone the appointment as her mum had died only the day before. But she claimed the clinic said it would be best to go ahead - so she went under the knife.

Emma was then left in 'horrendous' pain after the surgery which continues to this day, she claimed. She said: "At first I thought it would be okay after the swelling went down.

"They told me the bumps were fluid that I'd need to get drained out with lymphatic massages. But after 10 weeks of getting specialist massages I was told it's not fluid.

"My tummy goes into a V shape, and it's bumpy too. One of my boobs is bigger than the other and my right arm
