I had a £13k breakup glow-up & people say it was the best revenge – I never thought I’d be a pretty girl but I was wrong
A WOMAN has revealed that after going through a breakup, she decided to have a mega glow up.
Sasha Sechenova, a UGC content creator and influencer who lives in Paris, explained that she spent more than £13,000 to totally transform her looks.
The entrepreneur, who always thought she would be the ‘smart girl’ and not the ‘pretty girl’, even went under the knife for her epic glow up.
Not only this, but she also flew to Turkey and had a full set of pearly white veneers too.
Eager to show off her transformation, Sasha took to social media and uploaded snaps before, during and after her glow up.
And not only do people think she looks so much “better” than before, but others have claimed she got the “best revenge” on her ex.
Posting online, Sasha confirmed that she spent $17,000 [£13,140] on her glow up in just one year.
She admitted: “My whole life I thought I’d be the smart girl, not the pretty girl, but that changed a year and a half ago, after I broke up with my boyfriend of three years – that’s when I realised I want to have it all, I want to be smart, ambitious, talented and beautiful.”
To kick off her glow up, Sasha started with weight loss.
In just 12 months, she dropped 13kg, all thanks to her luxury gym in Paris and personal trainers.
She confirmed that her gym alone cost €500 [£420] a month, so in six months she spent around €3,000 [£2,510].
On top of that, she spent another $2,000 [£1,670] on personal trainers, totalling $5,000 [£3,865] just on fitness.
Additionally, Sasha gave her smile an upgrade which cost her £5,410, as she expressed: “As you can see, I used to have a gap between my front teeth, so I flew to Istanbul in Turkey and got veneers, probably the most dramatic change in my entire looks.”
As well as this, she also had cosmetic surgery, as she confessed: “But I didn’t stop there, three months later, I went back to Turkey, found an amazing doctor and got a rhinoplasty.”
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

Sasha confirmed that she felt “terrified” prior to going under the knife and “almost backed out at the last minute”.
However, in the end, she recognised that the $5,000 [£3,865] she paid was so “worth it”, as it completely balanced out her face.

Not only this, but Sasha also had some beauty tweakments to alter her face, as she continued: “Then, of course, injections – I got lip filler, a lip flip and masseter Botox, let’s round this up to $1,000 [£773].”
Finally, Sasha concluded: “And I’m not even gonna count small stuff like hair – but for context, each colouring session cost me at least €300 [£250] so in total, $17,000 [£13,140] and honestly, my life has never been better.”
After her glow up, Sasha reminded her followers that you “can have it all” and stressed “we have power over our looks and over how we feel.”
Social media users react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @sasha.withlove, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 1.8 million views.
Viewers were gobsmacked by Sasha’s jaw-dropping overhaul and many eagerly flocked to the comments to express this.
One person said: “This was worth it. Can confirm.”

Another added: “Everything looks so natural. Still looks like you, but better.”
A third commented: “Glow up is the best revenge.”
Whilst someone else chimed in: “Teeth and nose did a huge change for you! Happy to see you glowing.
5 Tweakment Red Flags
Amish Patel, Award-Winning Aesthetics Practitioner, Skincare Expert at Intrigue Cosmetic Clinic shared his 5 red flags with Fabulous.
1. Cheap is not-so-cheerful
If you are searching for ‘cheap Botox’, cheap is often cheap for a reason. Botulinum toxin is a prescription medication, only to be carried out by the medical professional prescribing the drug. Cheap prices mean that corners are being cut.
2. ‘Filler packages’
And always have a consultation BEFORE committing to any treatment. Your face is unique & what suits one face might not suit yours.
3. ‘Botox parties’
If a clinic is offering ‘Botox parties’ avoid: alcohol and partying with friends do not mix with a medical aesthetics procedure.
4. Dirty clinics
Where do they do their treatments? Is it a clean and clinical environment? Hygiene and client safety is paramount. As with all injectables, there is potential for infection in contaminated surroundings.
5. Two-for-one deals
Don’t be tempted by ‘share with a friend’ filler deals. Filler syringes are single-use only; changing the needle does not protect from cross-contamination.
“You also put in the WORK for fitness and I’m sure that gaining muscle will be worth it for your health too, congrats.”
However, at the same time, not everyone was as complimentary.
One user snapped: “This is exhausting. Can’t we just be human beings who age and die.”
Whilst a second claimed: “I think you could have gotten the same results for less money.”
