I’ve spent £115k to get the ‘perfect body’ but still can’t keep a man – at least I’m not a caricature like Katie Price
LYING on a surgery bed, Tracy Kiss grimaces with pain as the surgeon injects 4ml of filler “down below”.
The mum-of-two hopes the procedure will FINALLY make her happy, but deep down she knows it won’t — which is why she is already booked in to have another procedure in the New Year.
Tracy, from Bucks, says: “I’ll be getting internal tightening of my vagina as a birthday present to myself.
"It needs it after having two children.”
Despite spending £115,000 on getting the “perfect” body over the past two decades, Tracy has failed to find lasting love.
“Men just want me for my looks,” says the holistic and wellbeing gift shop owner.

“Even though lots of men approach me, I’ve failed to find someone who wants me for me.
“I’m an old soul who is looking for a man who doesn’t care what I look like and would love me, wrinkles and all.
“I want someone to grow old with and I’m disappointed I haven’t found that yet.”
Tracy, who is mum to Millie, 17, and Gabe, 12, is one of an increasing number of women turning to surgery to boost their looks.

A 2024 report from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons showed nearly 26,000 had surgical treatments in the UK in 2023.
However, that figure might only be the tip of the iceberg, as increasing numbers of women travel abroad for surgery, as Tracy has done.
She was just 18 when she first went under the knife, having breast implants to take her from an A to DD cup.
She explains: “My friends were stunned and said I didn’t need it, but I felt that my natural boobs were deformed.
"One was a small A cup and the other was completely flat.”
“I took out a loan of £4,000 and worked three jobs — in a bar, a shop and at an estate agent — to pay it back.”
As a teen, Tracy longed to look like her then-idols, Katie Price and Jodie Marsh.
She says: “People said I was pretty, but I looked in the mirror and saw a tiny, mushroom-headed schoolgirl who needed work.
“I wanted to have blonde hair, fake tan, big boobs and fake nails. I wanted to look like a Wag.”
“I didn’t get to go out or go on holiday as I had my daughter, Millie, at 19 so I just saved and when I could, I spent the money on surgery.”
Surprisingly, Tracy is against other young women having cosmetic treatment.
She explains: “I hate the idea of them having it and hope the tide is starting to turn towards more natural beauty.
“When I heard Love Island star Anna Vakili had spent thousands in her 20s on botched procedures in the hope of getting her ‘perfect’ body, I felt so sad for her.”
Last week, the 34-year-old revealed how she got a boob job and a Brazilian bum lift “all in the space of six months”.
Anna said: “I think they were £14k each or something like that. It was crazy.”
But the surgery went wrong and Anna described it as “the worst experience ever”.
Despite being addicted herself, Tracy would discourage her daughter from having work done.
She says: “I see people like the Love Island girls having it in their early twenties and they don’t need it — they are already beautiful.
“I’m now either reversing things, or doing things internally.”
She also feels her one-time role model has gone too far.
“I look at Katie Price and I feel sad for her.
“She looks like a caricature of what she once was.
";We’ve had similar amounts of surgery, but mine is more subtle.”
'RECOVERY WAS TOUGH'
After having breast implants at 18, Tracy increased them at 25 and again when she was 28 to an H cup.
She also had ab-etching, a procedure to create a six-pack, and fillers around her eyes, jaw and cheeks.
“At 29 I got a Brazilian butt lift, where implants are put into your bum,” she says.
“It was very painful and recovery was tough.”
She says she has been trolled for what she describes as her “porn star” look.
“I would pose for mags and people told me I was a bad influence,” says Tracy, who has 1.2 million followers on Instagram.
“I would get comments on social media that I looked like a bimbo.
“Other mums would glare at me at the school gates. I was treated like scum.
“It shattered my self- esteem and I felt I wasn’t good enough.”
Then in her thirties, Tracy started undoing her previous work, including having a breast reduction at 36.
She has also had her first labiaplasty — surgery to reduce the size of the labia.
“That’s why I think I am probably addicted, or it is at least an obsession,” she says.
Tracy believes her autism could be the reason she keeps having surgery.
“I hyperfocus on things,” she says. “And one of the things I hyperfocus on is surgery.”
Despite undergoing so many procedures, Tracy insists she has always taken a cautious approach.
“I carefully research the company and I don’t go overboard,” she says.
“I know the amount I’ve spent, £115,000, is staggering and I could have put it in savings, but it’s over nearly two decades and I’ve always worked. I own my own house and have savings.
“I’m vegan, don’t drink or smoke, and only spend money at the gym.
"Surgery is my only vice.”
She says she has no plans to quit her surgery habit, but adds she would never get anything done to please anyone but herself.
But she admits she speaks to a "wider trend of women getting surgery."
"Plastic surgery doesn't have to be outrageous, bold, shocking or make you look like an entirely different person," she says.
"You can be sympathetic to your appearance, for surgery to be undetectable, classy, classical and naturally symmetrical with your existing features and body. You can become the very best version of yourself with the help of a scalpel rather than disfigured."
“I have quite a male mindset,” adds Tracy, who is single.
“So while I wouldn’t ever get breast implants because a man wanted me to, I knew when I got them, they would be popular.”
Despite having spent so much money on altering her looks, Tracy still isn’t 100 per cent happy with what she sees in the mirror.
“I don’t think I’m beautiful,” she says.
'SCARED OF NEEDLES'
“And spending so much on surgery hasn’t given me the perfect life.
"My life is far from amazing and my appearance will never make me happy.
“People always try to tear down my self-esteem for trying to look nice.
“My true happiness comes from my children, who I would hate to get surgery.”
Her daughter Millie, who is studying for A-levels, says: “I’m not really fussed by Mum’s surgery.
"I don’t think she needs it and I’ve told her that.
