Episode 1 Winter Sun Bikini Special: Heather Williams has a makeover!

Guessed age (before make-over): 55
Guessed age (after make-over): 41
Real age: 42


In the years following her wedding, Heather ballooned from a size 8 to a size 20. In 2003 Heather hit the gym and lost five stone but that's left her with a whole new set of body image problems. Where once there was flab, there are folds - excess skin is simply hanging from her tiny four foot eleven frame and she looks like a deflated balloon.

And that's just for starters. A sun bed has been a permanent fixture in her home for the past 20 years and that passion for rays - along with a 30-a-day cigarette habit and a manager's job in a central London hospital - has left Heather with the facial features of a 60 year old.

Heather had the following treatments, and wore the following outifts to complete her new look:


Cosmetic Surgery
Mr Jan Stanek, Surgical Aesthetics
  • Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck)
  • Breast augmentation and lift
  • Fat transfer
  • Blepharoplasty (excess skin from eyelids and eye bags removed)
  • Excess skin removed from thighs
Dentistry
Dr Surinder Hundle, Dentist
  • 10 veneers on top teeth
  • Reshaping bottom teeth
  • Gums lifted
  • Teeth Whitening
Hair
Andrew Barton, Stylist at Saks Hair & Beauty
  • Created a fuller style and more volume whilst keeping the length
  • Changed the hair colour to a more sophisticated and “expensive blonde”
  • TOP TIP: As we age, skin tones get lighter. therefore hair colour can get lighter too. Use varied and warm colours to create a natural and more youthful result.
Make-up
Ruby Hammer, Make-Up Artist
  • Prepare the skin with a tinted moisturiser. Choose one with a high sun protection factor.
  • Use creams, in thin layers as this will also provide a reason level of water resistance. TIP: Don’t apply powders over creams.
  • Invest in a waterproof mascara. Alternatively buy a fixer to apply over normal mascara and make it waterproof.
  • Tint eyelashes when going abroad. It will remove the need for mascara and eyeliner.
  • Don’t forget to wear a sun protective lip gloss too, as lips are one of the most vulnerable areas to sunburn.
