Yazmin Oukhellou Unveils Swollen Face After Turkey’s Cosmetic Makeover!
The Only Way Is Essex sensation Yazmin Oukhellou has been keeping her TikTok followers in the loop about her exhilarating journey of cosmetic transformation in Turkey. This 30-year-old star took a bold leap by heading to Istanbul, investing £4,150 in a rhinoplasty and an additional £1,750 for chin liposuction.
For those wondering, rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes your nose, something Yazmin first experienced back in 2017. She candidly revealed that the third day post-surgery was her biggest challenge yet, sharing a clip of herself wrapped in bandages, grappling with swelling and pressure. “Today is the worst day so far. I’ve got a lot of swelling and so much pressure in my head. My eyelids are bruised and swollen. Apparently, days three and four are the worst for swelling, but it should start to ease after that,” she shared.
In another candid video, Yazmin clarified that her intention wasn’t to completely change her nose shape, as she had always appreciated her original look. “I’m thrilled with the results. On the right side, I had a huge ball of scar tissue that was obstructing my breathing. I haven’t altered my nose too much because I loved the shape it had. The final look will take about a year to fully settle, but I didn’t touch the tip, so it shouldn’t differ drastically,” she explained.

When a follower asked how long she’d need to keep her head wrapped, Yazmin replied, “I think it’s about 6 weeks, but I’ll confirm on Wednesday during my final appointment with the surgeon.” Before the surgery, she admitted to feeling a mix of terror and anxiety.
However, she later posted an update from her hospital bed, expressing, “Keeping you updated has really helped me combat loneliness. I was feeling quite down before. Overthinking is truly a thief of joy.” She also showered praise on the medical staff, stating, “I can’t find any fault with this place; one nurse held my hand until I drifted off.” Despite feeling a bit groggy from the medication, Yazmin wanted to give her fans a glimpse of her reality, admitting, “I might regret sharing this while I’m so out of it, but it’s nice for you to see the real me.”
In a reflective moment, Yazmin snapped a mirror selfie before bed, showcasing her nose bandage and face wrap. She admitted to feeling hesitant about what others might think regarding her cosmetic choices but emphasized her desire to be open and transparent about her journey.
Yazmin’s quest for beauty comes after she decided to dissolve a decade’s worth of facial fillers. Feeling “filler blind,” she recognized it “wasn’t a good look.” In a heartfelt message on Instagram, she shared her transformation journey, saying, “I finally dissolved 10 years of filler from my face! It’s hard to believe how puffy I looked.” She continued, “I’m all for the latest beauty trends, but it’s crucial not to go overboard. I have a young audience, and I want to show them that we should embrace our natural beauty above all.” Yazmin concluded with a promise to be more mindful with any future treatments, balancing her adventurous spirit with a newfound awareness of authenticity.
