| Summary |
26-year-old Jessica Whitfied is a stay at home mum of two young sons. Jessica was born with a haemangioma, a benign tumour that grows during infancy, on the right hand side of her face. When she was young, before the surgeries began, the haemangioma was the size of a tennis ball. The first operation removed much of the mass but left her with a prominent scar and caused that side of her face to sag. She has since had thirteen operations, having her last procedure this summer.Immediately prior to filming she underwent another procedure known as sclerotherapy. Jessica insists none of these operations were for vanity reasons, but because her birthmark often causes her pain, swelling and bleeding on the inside of her mouth.Chloe Page is a 22 year old model and single mum to three year old daughter Taiyze Star. She is a self-confessed beauty addict and spends around 200 pounds on beauty treatments a month, ranging from nails to hair extensions, eyebrows to "anything new that comes on the market".Chloe is keen to have more surgery and would like to get liposuction on her arms, legs and hips and to have a mole removed. One clinic has already told her that she isn't a suitable candidate for liposuction (because she doesn't have enough fat to warrant it), but she is determined to find a place to do the procedure.Chloe says that the beauty regime has started taking over her life and she's concerned that her obsession will have a negative impact on Taizey, her daughter |
