has admitted going under the knife for the last eight years as she shared a painful looking recovery snap following her latest surgery in Turkey.

The  star, 31, took to Instagram with a selfie of her bruised and bandaged face and her body squeezed into a compression vest.

Yazmin told followers that her latest operation had seen her , but insisted she was not 'pushing surgery on anyone' but was instead simply trying to be honest with her fans. 

The TV personality went on to say that while she was 'swollen, bruised and sore' she knew that while healing 'wasn't instant' was sure she'd be glad of the results. 

Yazmin penned:  '3 days post-op… swollen, bruised and sore, but trusting the process 

'I’ve had a temporal lift, neck & jaw lift & 360 — and this is me right in the middle of healing. Taking it day by day and giving my body the time it needs'.

She went on: 'I’ve been going to @serenecosmetic_ in Istanbul for the past 8 years — the only place I trust with my surgeries. The care is always next level, and my surgeon has been amazing, checking in with me daily to make sure everything is on track for the best results'.

'I’m not sharing this to push surgery on anyone — I’m sharing because I’d rather be honest than pretend I just woke up like this. I also think it’s really important that anyone considering something like this does their own research. It’s not something to take lightly, and it’s definitely not a decision to rush'.

Before adding: 'For me, this has been something I’ve thought about for a long time before choosing to go ahead. Healing isn’t instant, but I know it will be worth it… I’ll keep you updated'.

Before her latest surgery she admitted she was feeling 'nervous' but insisted that she was doing it purely for herself to 'feel better' while saying she will inevitably get trolled for sharing the details on social media.
