Horny hair transplant patient says his head ‘blew up like a balloon' after ignoring a surprising post-surgery rule: ‘Too hard too soon'
It's a hairy situation. An influencer says his head 'blew up like a balloon' after he violated the 'no-sex rule' after undergoing a hair transplant in Turkey. '[I] woke up the next day and my head was just absolutely massive,' Ruben Owen, 24, told South West News Service about the supersize side effect. Advertisement The cranial complication occurred in 2022 after the Wales-based social media influencer flew to the Anatolian nation at the age of 22 to get his lost locks surgically restored. 3 'I looked like something out of a film — it was something else,' Ruben Owen recalled. Ruben Owen / SWNS The content creator was reportedly concerned with his hairline and was offered the op free of charge provided he did some modelling for the clinic in question. Advertisement Amazed over the seemingly bang-ing deal, Owen flew to Turkey, underwent the procedure and returned to Wales the next day — a pilgrimage that cost him just over $1,000 round trip. All seemed to go swimmingly until the Welshman ignored surgeons' advice to abstain from hanky-panky for seven days post-op. Dome reforestation experts warn that partaking in sexual activities too soon can cause increased blood pressure, reopen incisions, and cause infections, among other complications. 'I didn't quite listen about the sex part,' said Owen, who reportedly made whoopie that very night. Advertisement 3 Owen had been offered the surgery for free in exchange for modeling for the clinic. Ruben Owen / SWNS 3 'I didn't quite listen about the sex part and because of that my face just went quite enormous,' said Owen, whose swelling took a week to recede. Ruben Owen / SWNS Unfortunately, this decision literally blew up in his face as the next morning he awoke with an 'enormous' noggin. 'I wake up and my head's blown up like a balloon — face puffed, scalp tight, and it looked like I'd been stung by 100 bees,' lamented Owen. 'The left-hand side was bigger than anything to the point it didn't even look like I had been punched — it genuinely looked like my face was going to explode.' Advertisement He was initially concerned he had contracted a sexually-transmitted disease, but then realized it was his fault for 'going too hard too soon.' Thankfully, doctors informed him that his puffed noodle was nothing to worry about and that the swelling would go down in about a week, which it thankfully did. Owen said he definitely learned his lesson the 'weird way,' but now sees the funny side of his accidental noggin augmentation. 'It is one of those stories that still gets brought up, and to me it is too good not to share,' he said. 'This is one of them things that I look back on now and it was really stupid I hadn't listened but it was really funny.' Owen emerged relatively unscathed compared to other horror stories out of Turkey, which has become a mecca for those looking to go under the knife on the cheap. Last month, influencer Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini, 31, died after undergoing several cosmetic procedures, including breast augmentation and liposuction at a hospital in Istanbul. She had reportedly signed up for the surgeries in return for promoting the facility on her social media.

Wrexham rise showcases English football pyramid in US, says Anton Ferdinand
PARIS - Wrexham's exploits since being bought by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have helped lift "the bonnet" on lower-league English football and boosted its popularity in the United States, former West Ham defender Anton Ferdinand told AFP. The 40-year-old, who is now an ambassador for the Hammers, said Wrexham's climb up the English Football League (EFL) pyramid had "opened people's eyes across the pond on such a great league". The Wales-based club have scarcely looked back since Reynolds and McElhenney's surprise purchase of them for around pound sterling2 million ($2.7 million) in 2021. Wrexham are just one promotion away from the Premier League after becoming the first club from the top five divisions of English football to secure three consecutive promotions. Ferdinand has been a keen follower of football in the US since West Ham played in the 2008 MLS All-Star game against a team featuring David Beckham. He cites CBS Sports' four-year contract to broadcast 250 EFL and League Cup matches a season until the end of the 2027-28 campaign as evidence of the impact Wrexham have had. "I think what Wrexham have definitely done is open people's eyes to outside the Premier League," he told AFP in an interview. "So for people, especially Americans who only see really the Premier League, Wrexham has allowed people to look underneath the bonnet, which is the Football League. "It is the reason why the Premier League is so great." But Ferdinand believes lifting trophies and reaching the pinnacle of the English game should not be the only barometer of success, and is a champion of grassroots football. Ferdinand, who played over 130 times for West Ham, said a recent visit to the US highlighted to him how broad a cross-section of American youth are interested in the sport. Ferdinand ran an assembly and football clinic in May for over 150 students at Washington Elementary school in Kearny, New Jersey. "The Premier League is massive for them over there, you know, and I can certainly see the way it's changed over the years," he said. "You know, it's not just one demographic of people that like soccer, it's becoming more diverse. "A lot more different generations that want to tap into it." - Similar backgrounds - Ferdinand, who played 17 times for England's Under-21s, also visited a local club called Ironbound, who provide opportunities for players of all backgrounds to participate and forge a career in football. One barrier to entry though is prohibitive costs, which in some cases can be as much as $5,000 just to register a child to play. That is before factoring in travel expenses for matches in other states. Ferdinand's family may be football royalty -- brother Rio and cousin Les both played for England and went to World Cups -- but that has been achieved by hard graft. He saw similarities between his background and the youngsters he met at Ironbound, based in Newark. "It wasn't a well-to-do area," he said. "It was similar to where we grew up, and there's a lot of challenges that come with growing up in places like Peckham (London). "We have a lot of decisions that need to be made and the wrong decision, if we're being quite frank, could end up being the wrong one for you in terms of life." West Ham are a historic club and their community-based ethos, Ferdinand says, is the reason why there are over 40 official fan clubs spread over the US. "I'm indebted to West Ham United because they allowed me to be Anton Ferdinand, not Rio's brother," he said. "If I never had that, I probably would never have made it." Ferdinand says he can also relate to the 'American dream'. "We talked about the American dream and I had my own West Ham dream, which was to play for the club I supported and loved as a kid. "I was able to fulfil it. "For them it's going to be a rollercoaster of a ride, but it's how you deal with adversity and stuff that comes your way, whether it's good or bad."

According to Sky Sports, however, the Premier League side would be open to a permanent move if the right offer was received. Copy link Copied By Cresswell joins Stoke Aaron Cresswell has signed for Stoke as a free agent. Cresswell put pen to paper on a one-year contract with the Potters.

Forest have held a long-term interest in Wissa and have previously made another offer. However, the Tricky Trees' exact offer is not yet known. The Bees, though, are not highly likely to sell both Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo, who has been linked with Manchester United. Copy link Copied By Juventus ofer Vlahovic contract termination Manchester United could be handed a golden opportunity to land Juventus star Dusan Vlahovic for free. SunSport understand Vlahovic is high on United's list of targets and they could even get him for free, with Juve reportedly willing to rip up his contract. According to transfer insider And the Italian giants may even be up for cancelling his contract altogether. Meetings are scheduled to take place next week with several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal. Copy link Copied By Rodrygo transfer boost Arsenal have received a major boost in their bid to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo. According to Marca, Real are 'looking for a new destination' for the versatile forward. The same source claims it is becoming more likely that the Brazil international will be leaving Madrid this summer. And the Gunners continue to monitor the 24-year-old this summer. Copy link Copied By Jadon Sancho leaving Jadon Sancho is set to be the first Manchester United outcast to finally leave the club this summer. Sancho could be swiftly followed out of the exit door by Antony, who is wanted back by Real Betis. Juventus are pushing to agree a deal for the England international, who has not played a competitive United game since he fell out with ex-manager Erik ten Hag two years ago. The 25-year-old is believed to be keen on a move to Italy, despite interest from Turkey. The winger spent last term on loan at Chelsea, but they decided not to trigger the £25million option to buy him. United still want a similar figure from whoever buys Sancho, while his salary demands of £7m a year could also be a sticking point. Copy link Copied By More on Adingra Manchester United star Amad Diallo, who previously spent a season on loan at Sunderland, helped persuade Simon Adingra to move to the Stadium of Light. I know him very well from the national team [Ivory Coast]. I spoke to him and he spoke very well about this club. He told me how big this club is. It's a pleasure to be here, and I cannot wait to get started. The club and the project are really exciting. I spoke with everyone and their interest in me made the decision easy - I wanted to be part of Sunderland's future. Playing in the Premier League has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, so to continue doing that is incredible. It's a big challenge ahead – we'll be facing top players and strong opponents - but I'm ready for it. Simon Adingra Copy link Copied By Morgan Gibbs-White latest Tottenham are set to complete a stunning move for England star Morgan Gibbs-White. The North Londoners triggered the £60million release clause in his Nottingham Forest contract. Gibbs-White, 25, is now expected to have medical at Spurs over the next 24 hours. It follows up the £55m the club are spending on bringing in winger Mohammed Kudus from West Ham. Thomas Frank, who succeeded the man who delivered that title, Ange Postecoglou, had been keen on a new No10, on top of a fresh wideman who will be Kudus. Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze is admired but is believed to favour a move to rivals Arsenal, so Spurs have switched their attention to Gibbs-White. Copy link Copied By Henderson not following Adingra at Sunderland Simon Adingra claims it was an 'easy decision' to join Sunderland - but Jordan Henderson WON'T be joining him. The 23-year-old winger, capped 22 times by Ivory Coast, penned a five-year contract after completing a £20.5million transfer move from Brighton. Adingra, who appeared 29 times in the Premier League last term for the Seagulls, became the sixth new arrival at the promoted Black Cats. However, Henderson looks unlikely to secure a dream return to his hometown club and join the influx of new signings at the Stadium of Light. The 35-year-old former Liverpool captain, who left Sunderland for Anfield in 2011, is a free agent after opting against extending his contract with Ajax for another year. Despite speculation from abroad, SunSport understands that Sunderland are not currently interested in the veteran England international. Henderson is believed to be considering offers from both the Prem and the continent and is looking for regular action in order to secure his place in Thomas Tuchel's squad for the World Cup next summer. Copy link Copied By Tottenham close to signing MGW Tottenham are on the brink of landing England midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White after triggering his £60m release clause. New Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is understood to have sold his vision to Gibbs-White, 25, in the past few days. And the stunning swoop for the Three Lions star has left Nottingham Forest powerless to resist the move for one of their star assets. It is another statement of intent by Tottenham and Frank, following on from the £55m move for West Ham's Ghanaian powerhouse Mohammed Kudus and the bid for Brentford goal poacher Yoanne Wissa. The new Spurs chief sees Gibbs-White, who had two years left on his City Ground contract, as a key part of his new-look side. Gibbs-White, who scored seven Prem goals and added eight assists for Forest last term, is understood to believe that Champions League football with Tottenham will help secure his place in England's squad for next summer's World Cup. The four-cap midfielder needs to convince Thomas Tuchel that he deserves a place among England's star-studded midfield options. That will be easier if he can shine against the international elite, with a potential Spurs debut against European champions Paris Saint-Germain in next month's Uefa Super Cup Final in Udine. Copy link Copied By Bournemouth monitoring Chelsea ace Bournemouth are keeping tabs on Chelsea ace Djordje Petrovic. According to Sky Sports, the Blues and the Cherries remain in talks over a deal for Petrovic. The conversations centre around the structure of Bournemouth's offer for the goalkeeper. The West Londoners want more guaranteed payments, as opposed to add-ons and bonuses. Chelsea want at least £25million for the 25-year-old this summer. Petrovic, who spent last season on loan at Strasbourg, is said to be keen on a move to the Vitality Stadium. Copy link Copied By Tottenham eye MGW Tottenham have turned their attention to Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White. According to transfer insider David Ornstein, new Spurs boss Thomas Frank is a "long-term admirer" of Gibbs-White. The North Londoners will try to convince the playmaker to join if a deal is reached with Forest. And the England international is likely to leave the City Ground this summer. Copy link Copied By Viktor Gyokeres blow Arsenal have received a major transfer blow in their bid to sign priority target Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon. Reports from Portugal state the Gunners' deal for Gyokeres is on the verge of COLLAPSING. Sporting are reportedly not budging on their demands for the striker. And it could see the North Londoners miss out on the Sweden international. Copy link Copied By Villarreal target Disasi Villarreal are keeping tabs on Chelsea ace Axel Disasi during the summer transfer window. According to Newcastle and a number of Serie A clubs are also eyeing the centre-back. But the Blues won't let the France international leave for less than £25.9million. Copy link Copied By Kudus' Tottenham medical Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign West Ham star Mohammed Kudus. Spurs and the Hammers have reached an agreement worth £55million for Kudus, which will be paid across the next three years. A medical is scheduled to take place today ahead of the playmaker signing a six-year contract with the North Londoners. Documents have been exchanged and the the Ghana international is set to become a Tottenham player. Copy link Copied By Benfica prepare Felix bid Benfica are set to bid £17million for Chelsea flop Joao Felix. But that's only for HALF his rights. Felix wants to leave Stamford Bridge and is ready to take a pay cut to rejoin Benfica. As shared ownership is not allowed in the Premier League, it means Chelsea would be entitled to a 50 per cent sell-on fee should Felix move on from Benfica in the future.
