Tina Malone reveals extreme makeover results
I had to get this skin done, gone from my body, for my head. It wasn't for anybody else, it was for me to feel complete.
Tired of being a self-proclaimed 'fat bird' and desperate to have IVF, Tina Malone shed half her body weight in just 16 months after having a gastric band in 2010. But the drastic weight loss left Tina with so much excess skin that she hated her body more than ever and set about achieving her dream body, thanks to a £50,000 makeover.
Tina explained her surgery to Philip and Holly, "He took off three-and-a-half kilos of skin. That's how enormous I was. I wasn't a woman who was a size 14 / 16. I'm not lecturing everybody who is slightly overweight. If you are clinically, or morbidly obese, and I was, and you lose the weight, you are left with this skin.
Tina said that having the surgery while she was the mother of a very young child was concerning, but "everything you do in life is a risk."
