I'm 42 and was desperate to have a Kris Jenner ‘face lift' but was left with a bumpy, lumpy neck
HER rumoured facelift hit headlines worldwide - with people praising just how flawless the results were. And one person keen to emulate Kris Jenner's new look was Australian model Rebecca Judd. 4 4 4 The 42-year-old asked her clinical specialist Claire McGuinness to "give me Kris Jenner's neck without surgery". However, things didn't appear to have gone quite to plan, judging by Rebecca's Instagram Stories post. In the image, she showed that she'd been left with three lines of raised bumps on her neck. The lumps on her neck under her chin looked to have started healing, with some of them disappearing completely. While the lower lines were still obvious and red. It's not clear exactly what procedure Rebecca had, but Claire's website states that she offers countless facial rejuvenation procedures - from micro-needling to LED light therapy. The picture of Rebecca's bumpy neck went viral on social media, with people taking to the comments section of the posts to weigh in on what treatment Rebecca may have received. "Looks like MicroBotox to me," one wrote. "This pic was probably taken right after and then the bumps go down. "Nothing major that is for sure!" People compare me to Kris Jenner - now she's 'had a facelift', they say we look even more like 'twins' "These are Botox injection bumps and will literally be gone in under 10 minutes," another added. "You all do realise this is probs just polys?" a third asked. "It goes down within half hour - it's a simple easy good little treatment." "This is a Skin Booster, and this is exactly what it should look like post injections," someone else commented. Kris, 69, left fans stunned when she stepped out showcasing her new youthful look, with her rep confirming to Page Six that she underwent aesthetic enhancements from New York plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine. Although it has not been revealed exactly what she had done, many critics have suggested she underwent a deep plane facelift. What is a face lift and how quick is the recovery? A FACE lift (technically called a rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure which tries to reduce visible signs of ageing in the face and neck. The procedure begins with either general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with sedation to ensure you're comfortable and pain-free. The surgeon makes incisions based on the type of face lift. The surgeon lifts the skin and underlying tissues (SMAS layer – superficial musculoaponeurotic system). Fat may be sculpted, removed, or redistributed. The underlying muscle and connective tissues are tightened and repositioned to create a more youthful look. The skin is gently laid back over the newly repositioned contours and incisions are closed with sutures (medical stitch) or skin adhesives. Recovery time varies, but most people return to normal activities within two to four weeks. In an exclusive chat with The U.S. Sun, Dr. Norman Rowe, who did not do Kris's work but specializes in deep plane facelifts, was asked how much her rumoured procedure might have set her back. "It depends on whether or not you're getting it in Cincinnati, Ohio, or Miami or New York or LA," he said. "I mean, it can range from, five figures to six figures."

Cosmetic cowboys face ban amid crackdown on dodgy fillers & bad Botox in Scotland
The Scottish Government has revealed new proposals to crack down on risky cosmetic surgery procedures HAD THEIR FILL Cosmetic cowboys face ban amid crackdown on dodgy fillers & bad Botox in Scotland Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) COSMETIC cowboys who are flooding Scotland's streets with dodgy fillers and bad Botox are facing a ban. In recent months there have been a raft of horror stories about botched treatments and poorly trained practitioners ghosting clients after procedures have gone wrong. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The Scottish Government has introduced new proposals to stop unregulated procedures Credit: Getty And Scotland was branded the worst place in Europe for dodgy lip fillers and Botox. But now the Scottish Government has revealed new proposals to crack down on risky cosmetic surgery procedures. It aims to stop botched procedures and shut down backstreet surgeries that have left a number of patients with life changing injuries. As the sector is not currently fully regulated, anybody can carry out the procedures without formal training. However, under the proposed legislation, fillers and the use of Botox will have to be supervised by a qualified healthcare professional. While, "breast and buttock augmentations" must be carried out by a qualified professional. Microneedling and cosmetic laser treatments will require both a premises licence and individual practitioner licences issued by local authorities. Medical professionals have welcomed the move but have also warned that the new rules might still allow unqualified people to carry out less dangerous procedures. Dr Ben Taylor-Davies, who runs the Stockbridge Clinic in Edinburgh, told the Daily Record: "Whilst I firmly believe injectable treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers should only ever be carried out by a registered medical professional, the Scottish Government's proposals are a big step in the right direction for patient safety in Scotland. "For too long the public has been at unacceptable levels of risk. People have come to significant harm due to the lack of regulation. I'm Olivia Attwood's beautician here's why you should avoid 'preventative Botox' "Now we need to make sure this is implemented across Scotland and that the necessary legal powers exist to protect the public from unnecessary harm. "Hopefully this is just the start of a wider theme of tighter regulation that will ultimately protect public safety." The Scottish Government proposals also intends to introduce a minimum age of 18 for all procedures. The changes will bring Scotland into line with England - where the UK Government made it an offence for an unregulated person to give Botox or filler to under-18s in 2021. Public Health Minister Jenni Minto said: "It is deeply upsetting to hear of cases where people have suffered as a result of non-surgical cosmetic procedures going wrong. "The current gaps in regulation mean that anyone can perform most of these procedures without the need for any formal training or qualifications. Steps before treatment THE T.I.M.E initiative, a consumer safety scheme supported by MPs, influential bodies and key industry figures, to ensure consumers get the best possible experience and better protect themselves. Their checklist for customers to ask practioners aims to help people know what to be aware of when booking in for treatments: TRAINING – What qualifications and training, including continual professional development (CPD) do you and all your staff have? INSURANCE – Are you insured and, if so, who by? MONITORING – Do you carry out important pre and post appointment processes such as patch tests, consultations and aftercare? EVIDENCE – Is there certified proof of training, insurance and any client testimonials? "These proposals reflect our determination to protect the public and ensure high standards across this growing industry. "I am particularly heartened by the broad support for action to make the sector safer, and we will continue to work closely with Healthcare Improvement Scotland, local authorities, and the wider industry to support a smooth and effective implementation." Last year Kathryn Tumulcha, from Dalkeith, spoke out after a Botox jab left her looking like she'd had a stroke after going to a 'cheap practitioner'. While, Renata Wojno, from East Kilbride, blamed herself after being left with lumps on her face from a cosmetic injectable after finding a woman on Facebook who did the jabs from her home. Katie Price's beautician was banned from operating in Glasgow after a woman's Brazilian bum lift procedure resulted in a 999 dash. The company carried out the BBL in a hotel function room at a Holiday Inn in the city centre in March, which left the 49-year-old in agony.

Scotland's Botox Bandits facing ban over country's "wild west" treatments
New legislation will introduce regulatory framework and quack operators from dangerous procedures Medics have welcomed moves by the Scottish Government to kill off our nation's 'wild west' reputation for unregulated cosmetic surgery. Law changes announced this week will ban many specified treatments from being carried out by 'Botox bandits' and ensure doctors supervise other less invasive procedures. A regulatory framework will be administered by Healthcare Improvement Scotland, aimed at ensuring backstreet surgeries are shut down, to stop the botched procedures that have been life changing for many people who have opted for cut-price services. Dr Ben Taylor-Davies, who runs the Stockbridge Clinic in Edinburgh and also works as an A&E doctor, welcomed the move. But he warned the new legislation may still be too slack, in allowing unqualified people to carry out the less dangerous procedures. He said: 'Whilst I firmly believe injectable treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers should only ever be carried out by a registered medical professional, the Scottish Government's proposals are a big step in the right direction for patient safety in Scotland.

He added: 'Now we need to make sure this is implemented across Scotland and that the necessary legal powers exist to protect the public from unnecessary harm. 'Hopefully this is just the start of a wider theme of tighter regulation that will ultimately protect public safety.' The SNP government's belated crackdown comes after Scotland was branded the 'worst country in Europe' for dangerous, unregulated Botox ops. Ministers said aesthetic procedures will be regulated according to risk. The most invasive and dangerous, including breast and buttock augmentation, will have to be performed by a qualified healthcare professional in a setting regulated by Healthcare Improvement Scotland. Less invasive injectable material – like Botox and other dermal fillers – will be supervised by a qualified healthcare professional in a regulated setting. The least invasive, such as c osmetic laser treatment, will require both a premises licence and an individual practitioner licence issued by the local council. Public Health Minister Jenni Minto said: 'These proposals reflect our determination to protect the public and ensure high standards across this growing industry.' The changes bring Scotland into line with protections already in place in England. The UK Government made it an offence for an unregulated person to administer Botox and cosmetic fillers to under-18s in England in 2021. The 'back-street Botox' boom has already been blamed for putting pressure on A&E departments at Scottish hospitals.

Jennifer Horgan: Why moral clarity won't bring peace — the case for radical acceptance
I'd like to thank Terry Prone for her respectful disagreement with my column on Botox last week. Someone respectfully disagreeing means a lot. In a world of noise and distraction it is a considerable honour. I had a less public disagreement with another of my columns a few weeks back - a letter that came through my door. When I read it first, I felt wounded. Then I re-read it. Like the articulate and always insightful Terry Prone, the reader simply had a different take – an intelligent and considered one. The response was to a column I wrote about Bono mentioning Hamas at the Ivor Novello awards. I suggested that Bono avoided side-taking to achieve peace, even, yes, in the context of genocide. The letter accused me of 'moral blindness' for seeing genocide as equivalent to war. The reader had interpreted my column correctly. Peace to me is the absence of violence – it can be called for anywhere, at any time. It is the most important thing, never redundant. It is also far more important than right and wrong. We need a kind of 'moral blindness' if we are to survive as a species. In the most extreme cases, we must all become temporarily and wilfully 'blind' to right and wrong. Let me explain. I have spent my whole life thinking and teaching about right and wrong. I'm an ethics teacher. I studied philosophy and have taught it too. I've spent hours on the 'trolley problem'. I've debated with teenagers over the morality of travelling back in time to kill Hitler. But I realise now that the right and wrong debate is a surface one. For peace and survival, we must travel a lot deeper - stepping into what is uncomfortable and confronting – the undergrowth of human difference. In this murky slop, lies peace. The most important thing, if we are to get on with each other, is not morality; it is belief in humanity – an unshakeable belief in humanity, no matter what. It has been a terrifying week. Humans in Gaza continue to starve and die. In South Sudan, 45 million children live through crises intensified by cholera outbreaks, malnutrition, drought and floods. Bombs are flying between Iran and Israel. America is taking the return to violence as a petty, personal insult. Trump had wanted to package away the '12-day war' neatly, like a gift, a perfectly wrapped win for America. He had wanted to keep it in his office drawer, taking it out every so often for show and tell, evidence of America being great again. President Donald Trump had wanted to keep the '12-day war' between Israel and Iran in his office drawer, taking it out every so often for show and tell, evidence of America being great again. File photo: AP/Alex Brandon Leaders and their domestic broadcasters are feeding their people stories about winners and losers, goodies, and baddies. It is a tale of right and wrong, one that changes with the teller and the telling. Trump is pushing it to the comical. He was laughing, I presume, when he posted a video with a mash-up of The Beach Boys Barbara Ann on Truth Social. 'Bomb Iran' is the new hook, the song containing the sophisticated lyrics: 'Went to a mosque/Gotta throw some rocks/Tell the Ayatollah gonna put him in a box.' But look at how the rest of us react. We all talk about countries like Israel in absolute terms. To say anything else is to be accused of 'moral blindness', as I was in that letter. Israel are the bad guys, right? They are no longer human beings. The reaction is understandable, but it doesn't solve anything. To solve it, we need psychology. It is not moral philosophy but psychology that has the power to change politics. I am thinking particularly of Unconditional Positive Regard (UPR), a concept developed by Carl Rogers, one of the founding fathers of Humanistic Psychology. It's a tough pill to swallow – to think that even Benjamin Netanyahu deserves radical acceptance. Radical acceptance absolutely isn't about accepting someone's behaviour. We still condemn the action. We condemn genocide. It's about remembering that the other is, ultimately, always a human being. File photo: Ronen Zvulun via AP Radical Positive Regard doesn't mean agreement – it is a temporary moral blindness only, a suspension of morality if you will. It can even mean violence to stop what is happening in the short term, but it demands we engage, listen, and communicate. The driving force is not right and wrong but a belief in humanity – even when the human in question is behaving like a devil. Netanyahu is a human. He is a human facing corruption charges. A human whose reputation was destroyed on October 7 when he failed to protect his people, a traumatised people, and he is doing anything he can do to regain their trust. He is a human with motivations and feelings. The attacks on Iran are increasing his popularity. His people have a bloodlust we must try to understand. Not condone – no. That is not what this is about. We must maintain our positive regard for them as human beings only to engage and bring about change. We will have plenty of time for morality. The need for this approach exists at a local as well as a global level. Look at the research shared by this paper on crime this week. Criminals in Cork, as I have written about before, are far more likely to come from our Northside. Our prison is overpopulated with people with stories of abuse, deprivation and addiction. The behaviours may be morally wrong and abhorrent, but they come from somewhere. Labelling men behind bars 'bad' or worse, 'scumbags', won't change anything; the cycle continues. We must suspend our moral condemnation long enough to listen, thereby putting an end to violence, conflict and anti-social behaviour. The local is global. Rogers proved it in his lifetime by applying his 'person-centred approach' to politics and national conflicts, working with groups in Northern Ireland and Central America. In the early 70s, he worked with the 'Steel Shutter' group of Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. They shared their experiences and their hatred for one another but by the end of it, they felt differently. Rogers didn't have the funds to carry on the work, but the group continued to meet in the home of one of the participants - an ex-British colonel, because his home was the safest. Then they went out in pairs, one Catholic and one Protestant, to show the film of their conversation to community groups, schools, and parishes. 'Radical acceptance' The Israelis have a story to tell. The Palestinians have a story to tell. The Iranians have a story to tell. They all have feelings and motivations. Whether we think they are right or wrong is of secondary importance if we are interested in ending violence. Thankfully, there are people carrying the Rogerian baton – thinkers like Mick Cooper, a UK academic who explains the approach in his recent book Psychology at The Heart of Social Change. It's a tough pill to swallow – to think that even Netanyahu deserves radical acceptance. In terms of responding, that must be balanced against his actions. Radical acceptance absolutely isn't about accepting someone's behaviour. We still condemn the action. We condemn genocide. It's about remembering that the other is, ultimately, always a human being, with human wants and needs like the rest of us, and that few people do things out of 'pure evil'. To create a more compassionate world, we need to understand what people are striving for and dividing the world into 'good people like us' and 'bad people like them' is exactly what Netanyahu is doing, or Hamas, or Trump. If we just buy into that narrative, we perpetuate a world of polarisation and, ultimately, violence. 'Radical acceptance' is about trying to step off that treadmill for good. This week, another letter, by Eddie O'Brien, Director of The Thinking Centre, addressed Ursula von der Leyen in this paper. It drew attention to her comment while attending the G7 summit in Canada, that, 'Israel has the right to defend itself, Iran is the principal source of regional instability, and Iran is the source of terror in the Middle East.' Mr O'Brien writes: 'By so prematurely and so publicly announcing of the taking of the side of Israel against Iran, how can Iran be expected to listen, trust, or have any kind of constructive relationship with any peace initiative the European Union may later propose?' It is a fine letter. Read More Iranian response in Doha was only a carefully choreographed demonstration
