The British press targeted Turkish beauty clinics: They use OnlyFans models

Turkey, which has frequently featured in the foreign press with its aesthetic tourism, is now the target of the British press. According to a report by the British newspaper Daily Mail; Plastic surgery clinics in Turkey use social media influencers and OnlyFans models in their campaigns to attract British women.

The promotion of operations such as breast surgery and hip lifts has been strongly criticized by experts. Experts claim that the tactic used targets common body insecurities in young women and exploits them with an unrealistic ideal. It is also claimed that men in the OnlyFans models’ target audience may pressure their female partners into going under the knife.

THEY HAVE A DISCOUNT CODE FOR AESTHETICS

According to the Daily Mail investigation, an Istanbul-based clinic collaborated with British OnlyFans model Phoebe Bartlett, and Bartlett offered her followers a £100 discount code that would be valid on all transactions.

According to the news; Bartlett underwent a £2,500 butt lift (BBL) surgery at the clinic in January. Seven liters of fat was extracted from other parts of her body and injected into her bottom. However, that’s more than twice the amount of fat that UK surgeons recommend removing in one go.

Bartlett also left a comment on the clinic’s social media page, on the site where a promo code was attached with her name: “Highly recommend if anyone is considering surgery! Service and maintenance 10/10.”

The Istanbul-based clinic has teamed up with British OnlyFans model Phoebe Bartlett to offer followers a discount code for procedures in Turkey.

According to the Daily Mail news, a single clinic does not implement these types of campaigns. She worked with Ivy Red of OnlyFans, another aesthetic clinic based in Istanbul. The model recently appeared in a testimonial video on Instagram about how the liposuction and BBL was performed with the clinic.

The model, who has more than 50,000 followers on social media, wrote: “You’re the best,” in response to the clinic’s posts.

Bartlett explains that his body was made by the clinic and directs his followers to the clinic.

Lucy Bouverie-Brine, another OnlyFans model with 150,000 followers, also appeared on the page bragging about her liposuction, BBL and breast lift package.

WELCOME TO THE LIMOUSINE

Sophia Petrou, who has some 60,000 followers on Instagram, also praised another Istanbul-based clinic. The model also wrote on her Instagram page that she was picked up from the airport in a VIP limousine sent by the clinic and then taken to a 5-star hotel.

Ronnie Havis, a 23-year-old OnlyFans model dressed as Velma or Lara Croft from Scooby-Doo, also announced a clinic.

“SOLD AS A VACATION PACKAGE BUT…”

Many experts have expressed concern that young women are exposed to images of ideal and often unattainable female bodies, and that plastic surgery is marketed as a vacation package.

Dawn Knight, who has campaigned against malpractice for having undergone botched eye surgery herself, said OnlyFans’ promotions are another example of Turkish clinics’ brutal marketing: “It absolutely exploits people at their most vulnerable point.” . And the all-inclusive offer that is sold as a vacation is often misleading and obscures the reality of the risks associated with any surgical procedure.”

Knight also cautioned about what to consider when traveling abroad for surgery: “Everyone has a choice, and ultimately it’s their decision. But consider all the facts, take your time, make sure you know what to do if things go wrong.

Model Ivy Red, who creates adult content on OnlyFans, became a plastic surgery clinic landmark by posting a video after she recently underwent liposuction and BBL at the Istanbul-based clinic.

Knight also invited Bartlett to spend a week abroad with supporters of victims of botched surgeries.

Speaking to UK students about issues such as body image, Not Just Behavior’s Chris Calland said the associations between the clinics and OnlyFans models are worrying.

Katharine Wright of the Nuffield Bioethics Council also warned about the effects of social media: “Social media feeds girls and young women ideal body images that will bring them happiness and success.”
