‘My belly button’s off-centre after botched op'

A young mum from Hereford says she had a horrific experience from travelling to Turkey for cosmetic surgery, having spent over £6,000 on what turned in to a poor operation.

26-year-old Leah Mattson visited Turkey for a tummy tuck, breast lift and arm lift, and to remove loose skin from her body, after she managed to lose 12 stone.

After the operation, she was horrified to find that piles of her loose skin were still there, with huge scars left across her chest and arms. She was even given a replacement belly button that is off-centre, on the right hand side of her body.

Leah's been telling our reporter Tom Edwards how she's documented the experience on social media, with videos being seen more than one million times, and why she's urging people not to travel to Turkey for any type of cosmetic surgery.
