Diary of a facelift

Find out how Toyah Willcox got her amazing new look

Toyah Willcox has a highly successful and incredibly diverse career with major hit records and many prestigious stage and screen roles to her credit.

And now she's set to release a highly revealing autobiography based around her experiences of facial surgery - from the initial decision and nerve-racking waiting period through the surgery itself, the painful, frustrating recovery, and on to the final transformation.

In an astonishingly honest, occasionally gruesome and frequently laugh-out-loud account, Toyah lifts the lid on a subject which amongst so many is still shrouded in secrecy and hypocrisy.

Diary of a Facelift

This detailed, personal diary gives a blow-by-blow account of the whole process, offering a fascinating exploration of the nature of celebrity, ageing and beauty in the 21st century.

As Toyah herself explains: "What I am about to undergo is the last taboo. Ninety percent of all women are unhappy with some part of their bodies, but the one area that is most vulnerable to our insecurities is the one part that holds the key to our souls, our personality....You neither want to be defined by your face nor judged by it, but you are and people do....

"I feel there are too many people in the world who are entering into surgery in the wrong frame of mind as a result of being misinformed, unprepared and afraid. For me ...this journey isn't about discovering eternal youth, it is about making our longevity, our ever-increasing lifepsan more bearable through a better quality of life."
