An influencer revealed she got a facelift aged just 34 after “years of filler abuse” left her unrecognizable.
Ashley Stobart, married to millionaire shipping heir Ed Stobart, has spent thousands of dollars over the past decade in a bid to improve her appearance.
The Cheshire blonde beauty admitted to undergoing treatments including botox injections, fillers, liposuction, nose surgery and even ‘bleph job’ on her eyelids, which removes excess skin or fat.
But in March she opted for a nine-hour full face, neck and lip lift to “squeeze” 4cm of filler (reversing the supposed anti-aging procedure that is becoming increasingly popular among younger women) on both sides. of the face.
Years of ‘pumping’ filler ‘anywhere’ on her face had left her ‘looking weird’ and ‘not like me anymore’, she told MailOnline.

Years of ‘pumping’ filler ‘anywhere’ on her face had left her ‘looking weird’ and ‘not like me anymore’, she told MailOnline. In the photo, Ashley before her face wash.
She is now urging young women against cosmetic “retouching”, warning them not to “try to fix things by pumping things into (their) faces”.
Ashley said: ‘I had a facelift in March this year, which I did to rectify years of filler abuse when I was in my early 20s.
‘When I was 20, given that I worked in the cosmetic surgery industry for many, many years, the temptation was there.
‘At the end of the day, they’d say, “we have some filler or Botox left,” and I’d say, “yeah, put it on.”
‘Then I would just look weird about it. I had to have many corrective treatments for that.
‘It’s all about learning, especially with filler and Botox. Now, honestly, I would tell girls to please, please, don’t get padding.
‘Botox, it’s true, it’s okay. I still get Botox and a little filler in my lips, but I used to pump where I could with filler.
‘Then I had to rectify all that, and they took it out and my skin was loose.
‘Now I have put a lot of effort into researching a healthy lifestyle.
Earlier this month, she also told Olivia Atwood’s So Wrong It’s Right podcast (pictured left) that surgeons initially turned her away from the dramatic procedure for fear she was too young. Pictured is Ashley, right, and Lauren, center.
The podcast host and entrepreneur whose business Cosmetic Consult Skin launches today talks about procedures on a “subscription platform,” since “I have a lot of younger followers.”
“It’s about drinking filtered water, taking probiotics, and not trying to fix things by putting stuff on my face and putting a lot of makeup on it.”
She now also chooses not to openly discuss her treatments on Instagram with her 75,000 followers, as “I have a lot of younger followers,” she told MailOnline.

The mother-of-three added: “I am very happy with the results of my facelift.” No more filler for me.
‘Just a week ago, I had a fat transfer under my eyes, a fat transfer to the face instead of filler, which will be the next big thing.
“I don’t want my daughters to make the same mistakes I made when I was younger.”

But “they ended up taking 4 cm off each side of my face,” he added.
“They were squeezing the filler out of my face for hours. I had simply lost the definition of my face.
“It didn’t look like me anymore because they had filled me up and put me back.
‘Obviously, I was pregnant several times in a short period of time.
“And when you have fillers and you’re pregnant, the fillers retain water.”
She told MailOnline she chose the podcast because it was a chance to be “really open about everything” as she “gets asked all the time” about treatments she had previously opted for.

“I’m not an acting monkey,” he added.
‘I don’t want to look like Kim Kardashian, I just talked about it. As women, we are shut down and made to feel stupid for wanting these treatments.”
Fillers (usually collagen or hyaluronic acid injections) are offered in beauty clinics for as little as £75.
They are supposed to add volume or reduce wrinkles, and their effects last up to 18 months.
However, dermatologists have previously told MailOnline that excess facial filler in younger people “can often look unnatural”.
Dr Emma Wedgeworth, consultant dermatologist and spokesperson for the British Skin Foundation, said: “Dermal fillers were originally used to compensate for volume loss in aging faces.
‘When used to increase size in younger people or to change original features, they can often appear unnatural.
“Our eye interprets this as looking older, in the same way we see a lot of makeup on young children: it looks a little inappropriate and out of place.”
He added: “It is still unknown whether using dermal filler from a very young age has long-term effects.”
‘However, as fillers become more common among young people, I think we are certainly starting to see a real distortion in the norms of ideal facial proportion.
“Dermal fillers are an excellent treatment when used in the right hands, but it is important that they are used with caution.”
Speaking on the So Wrong It’s Right podcast, Ashley also revealed that the surgeon who performed her nose job had been fired.
She said: ‘On my 18th birthday, I booked in to get my lips done. Back then no one really did it.
Actually, the man who fixed my nose was cut off. A bad nose job can literally ruin your life.
‘What we must remember with cosmetic surgery is that you already have a problem with yourself because something is going to be done to you. You can’t deny that.
“So if you go and do something and it goes wrong, the repercussions are horrible.”
