Stylist, reality TV star, and ambassador for a Turkish plastic surgery clinic, Roy Donders travels to Turkey once more for a series of extreme cosmetic procedures, combining personal goals with promotional work.
Roy recently had a beard transplant to address patchy and sparse hair, aiming for a fuller, even beardline. This procedure, performed at the clinic where he serves as ambassador, fulfills a longtime desire to perfect his facial hair.
Previously, Roy spent four hours in Istanbul undergoing liposuction and liposculpture. He had fat removed from various parts of his body to tighten and shape his figure before intensifying his workout regimen—especially to avoid excessive muscle growth in his legs and buttocks.
"I've been working out for about half a year now and want to start training my legs and butt, but I'm afraid to begin because I think my legs and butt will get even bigger," Roy explained.
In addition to body work, Roy also opted for facial lipofilling, a technique where his own fat is injected into areas where signs of aging appeared pronounced. Bandages seen on his face are evidence of these subtle corrections aimed at a more youthful look.
"There's a new technique called lipofilling that’s been around for years. You can fill in spots in your face or body using your own fat. I had my face filled a little bit—mainly in spots where aging is going faster than I hoped," Roy said openly. His girlfriend Michelle added, "You’re just trying to win back five years," to which Roy replied, "Yes, I’m trying to win back five years."
Though many admire Roy’s transparency, not all reactions have been positive. Celebrity expert Evert Santegoeds voiced concern on Shownieuws about such frequent surgeries at a relatively young age. "How old is that guy? 30 or something? I really worry with all those operations at that age. Isn’t it way too early?"
Michelle, too, has a history with cosmetic surgery. After receiving Brazilian Butt Lift implants that caused undiagnosed health problems, she chose to have the implants removed. Roy, who removed fat from his buttocks instead of opting for implants, blends surgery and working out to sculpt his ideal physique.
Whether motivated by vanity, insecurities, or professional endeavors as an ambassador, Roy Donders continues to push boundaries with his cosmetic enhancements, eliciting fascination and criticism alike.
