Her body is a wonderland – and it took $36,000 to build. After all, who needs a brand new house to live in when you can buy a body to die in?
That was Scarlett Black’s reasoning when the blonde decided to blow her savings – the money she had set aside to buy her dream home – on 13 extreme plastic surgeries.
“I may not get my dream house — but at least I can live in my dream body,” said UK-based Black, 27. “You live in your body longer than your house, so for me it’s just self-investment.”
Her massive body makeover includes three breast surgeries, a Brazilian butt lift, liposuction and an arm lift.
The cheeky UK-based bombshell told Caters News that she started investing in her physique in early 2021 after she let her weight “rise” to 350kg while bingeing on junk food during the pandemic .
“There was a lockdown, I stayed longer, I got more crazy [take-out] and I stopped walking so much,” said Black, who admittedly struggled with her weight since childhood, going through cycles of falling and gaining weight on fad yo-yo diets.
“I would eat portions made for families,” she said of her bad habits in the past.
“For a meal, I’d have a large pizza, garlic bread, fried chicken and wedges on the side washed down with 1.5 liters of coke and a large pudding biscuit,” he confessed. “Some days, I’d have three pickups a day.”
But her overeating began to eat away at her well-being.
“My health was deteriorating,” said Black, who decided to take drastic measures in an attempt to save her life. “I heard about the gastric sleeve and that, for me, was my last resort for help.”
He opted for the expensive operation – a weight-loss procedure in which a section of the stomach is removed laparoscopically to restrict food intake – in February 2021. The surgery can they come with a price tag ranging from $7,500 to more than $30,000depending on location and insurance coverage.
Black dipped into her house fund — the $36,000 she’d spent two years stashing away as a down payment on a new pillow — withdrawing more than $4,200 to fund the tummy tuck.
But it was apparently worth it to take away her savings.
Within nine months of the surgery, Black lost 196 pounds.
The svelte new siren’s rapid weight loss gave her confidence a huge boost – prompting her to schedule appointments for a tummy tuck, muscle rehab, arm liposuction and an arm lift in the same year.
“I was left with a lot of loose skin, so these surgeries I had in November 2021 helped get rid of all that,” she said. The stings cost her over $8,500.
But Black wasn’t done cutting her green.
She then paid a staggering $7,200 for the first of what would be a series of breast augmentations.
“I’ve actually had three breast jobs,” the millennial said.
“A lot of people always say to me, ‘What? Did you have three? What the hell?” she continued. “[But] what people don’t really know [is]unless you’ve had a breast lift, you have to go up in small steps to slowly stretch your skin.’
“Otherwise, if you don’t, you’re going to have a lot of complications,” Black said.
In August 2022, she traveled to Turkey, where cosmetic surgeons in Istanbul gave her a thigh lift and breast augmentation for another $8,500. And she returned to the Middle East in August 2023, going under the knife for another breast augmentation, liposuction and buttock lift for $9,700.
Black is just one of many women who have plunked down king-size stacks of cash in the hope of changing their looks.
In May, YouTube star Mia Dio donated more than $30,000 to experts, demanding that they reshape her “ugly” face into a stunning work of art. She said the surgery helped her go from “Botched to Barbie.” Next: In July, self-proclaimed ‘plastic princess’ Leila Griffin, 29, took to social media to brag about spending her 53-year-old husband’s money on cosmetic procedures like lip fillers as often as some people change their underwear. .
“I’m an advocate of plastic surgery,” Griffin said. “The operation could be expensive [$100,000]and I still would have done it.”
For Black – who is now showing off her updated credentials as a webcam model – her latest procedures not only cost her a pretty penny, but also some of her weight loss success.
“When I was older, I was obviously curvier and I missed having some curves because they always made me feel feminine,” Black said.
“So I gained some extra weight that ended up [28 pounds]and booked for the BBL and other proceedings,” she continued, noting that packing on the pounds was no easy task.
“It was a little emotional when I did it, because they needed me to have enough fat to suck it up, put it back in,” Black recalled. “I just kept thinking, ‘Oh my God, I’m doing the opposite, I’m putting the weight back on.’
“But you know what? After the surgery, I feel really good and it’s the best I’ve ever felt.”
In total, Black’s body modifications totaled more than $38,200 — nearly $2,000 more than the amount of cash she has stashed away for a new house. This one recently garnered over 34,000 views on a TikTok post with “before” and “after” shots of her shocking changes.
Despite her staggering debt, the petite vixen says life has been fantastic since getting plastic surgery.
“I would do it again in a heartbeat to look at myself in the mirror now and actually smile at my reflection,” insisted Black, who has restarted her efforts to save for a new home, which she plans to buy in either 2024 or 2025.
“At the end of the day, the money comes back, but it helped me mentally and physically,” he said. “All those surgeries — and I don’t regret it.”
