Miss Turner, who had the treatment at the River Aesthetics clinic in Belgravia, London, also underwent a £2,500 ‘one stitch facelift’ – an alternative to the traditional nip and tuck operation. She told the Daily Mail: ‘My hands were definitely my biggest giveaway! I’ve actually become a tiny bit self-conscious of them in recent years. ‘I’m delighted. I think they look much younger. 'These treatments are really clever at subtly bringing back a bit of youth in difficult areas’. Miss Turner’s facelift uses threads of small cones inserted under the skin. It is designed to tighten the face by lifting saggy jowls and cure ‘turkey neck’. The micro-cones are absorbed into the body over time and trigger more natural collagen production.

I’m definitely trying to join the long list of incredible women who give it a bloody good run for its money!’ Advertisement
