Feeling good about ourselves and confident in our bodies doesn’t have to be expensive. However, many cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries can cost a lot of money. For example, Kelly Beasley, a 50-year-old woman from the United States, decided to sell her house to pay for these procedures, believing it was worth every dollar she spent.

In her late 40s, Kelly Beasley realized she was no longer content with her appearance. “Around 48, my face started dropping fast. The changes were astounding. Fillers were not going to make a difference,” she said.

Faced with these changes, she began exploring the possibility of a facelift. However, the price quotes she received were staggeringly high. She eventually decided to undergo the surgery in Mexico, where the cost was more reasonable at $14,000. Beasley also listed her home for sale as a financial backup to cover the procedure.

The surgery took four hours, and remarkably, Kelly Beasley reported feeling no pain afterward, just slight discomfort. She had to wear a “face bra” for a few weeks and patiently wait for her recovery before she could finally witness the results.

Kelly Beasley believes the procedure was worth the wait and the financial sacrifices. “The results are beyond what I expected — I didn’t expect to look younger,” she explained. “People say I look in my 30s. I’m loving my look and feeling my most fabulous.”

When Beasley shared videos on TikTok documenting her results, some strangers online criticized her decision. However, she stands by her choice and advocates for acceptance of plastic surgery, stating, “I’m going to do what I want to do. Why not live the most fabulous life? Part of that for me is having plastic surgery.”

Kelly Beasley has been a travel enthusiast for quite some time, so transitioning to living in a van instead of a house brought some unexpected advantages. As a full-time solo traveler and blogger, Beasley now has the opportunity to explore more of the world while documenting her van life, all the while enjoying her rejuvenated appearance thanks to the facelift she underwent.
