A married couple who sold their home to get
Turkey surgery quickly realised they had made a mistake. After selling their Manchester home Zara Edgar, 36, and her husband Igel, 39, flew to Turkey where Zara spent thousands of pounds in search of the 'perfect' tummy, boobs bum and teeth, while her husband had his teeth done during the ill-fated makeover in 2022. The duo were left wracked with worry and regret. Issuing a warning to others, Zara said, "Just accept yourself the way you are. I wish I had. I regret this so much. I feel so upset about it. I wanted to feel good in my bikini." The pair, who are now living on the West Indian island of Grenada, booked their surgery abroad after coming across an online deal.

I wish I'd believed him. My tummy feels like there's metal inside. It makes me so unhappy." Her husband is also nervous for the future. "Igel's implants were supposed to give him confidence, but he's more worried now than ever," said Zara. "I just want people to know not to do this, do as much research as you can. Don't trust
Instagram as a platform for finding surgery - everything looks good on there. It might be cheaper to go abroad than the
UK but it's much much more important to care for your body than get anything cheap." They say they paid for a deal with a clinic that they had found on Instagram, which included the surgery and hotel stays for 11 nights. Zara's £6k surgery was done on the first day, and her £4,500 dental work four days later. Construction worker Igel's dental work - implants and veneers - also cost £4,500 and they spent another £1,000 on food during their stay. Zara has no complaints about her boob increase and says her teeth are bearable. "My tummy feels like there's metal inside. It makes me so unhappy."

Zara says she contacted the company who told her the couple could come back as they have a 20-year guarantee. The
Turkish firm claims the couple paid less than £16,000, but would not confirm the total. They also claim the couple did not make their final payment, but would not say how much was owed. The company added that the couple seemed happy when they left and could ask for help anytime. The plastic surgery was a complicated operation, they said, adding that they have hundreds of patients.
