The Towie star, 31, flew over to Istanbul to undergo a chin and neck lift this week, and has given fans a post-surgery update in a new post.
Filming herself upon waking up from the surgery, Yazmin was wearing a facial compression garment and bandages over her face.
She had purple bruising around her eyes and her face appeared swollen.

Yazmin told her fans she was set to go under the knife, explaining that her mum was over in Turkey to help look after her following the procedure.
“I am so nervous but I’m so excited,” said Yazmin as she spoke to the camera from her hotel room the night before the procedure.
She continued: “My mum has gone to keep me company, bless her, she’s brought me loads of snacks.
“I’m gonna be documenting my whole surgery journey as I always do, it’s not to promote it – to all the trolls that say I shouldn’t be showing it – I think I should be showing it because I show the highs, the lows.
“It’s something that I want to do for myself. I just think, life’s too short.
“If there’s something you want to do for yourself ton make yourself feel better, who cares what anyone thinks? Just do it for you.”
Yazmin has undergone several other procedures in Turkey over the years, including a nose job, a BBL and liposuction.
She has also been open about her journey with facial fillers and botox over the years, opting to dissolve ten years of filler from her face back in 2024.
At the time, the star told fans how she was opting to go for a more natural look and would be “more mindful” when it came to procedures going forward.
Yazmin rose to fame when she joined the cast of Towie in 2017.
She quit the show in 2023, months after experience a horror car crash in Turkey, which heartbreakingly claimed the life of her boyfriend Jake McLean.
She has since opened up her own beauty salon in Hertford, Show Off.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Lindsey Buckingham was attacked by a woman in Santa Monica on Wednesday morning.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that a woman with a history of stalking Buckingham, 76, tossed an unknown substance toward the former Fleetwood Mac guitarist and vocalist from a container as he entered a building for an appointment. According to law enforcement, Buckingham was not harmed; the woman is known to the musician and had been the subject of prior action with the LAPD threat management unit.
Police believe the woman found out when and where Buckingham had scheduled his appointment. She was not apprehended Wednesday morning, but an arrest was expected soon.
Santa Monica police and the LAPD are investigating the incident.
Representatives for Buckingham have not responded to a request for comment.
In December 2024, Buckingham filed a request for a restraining order against Michelle Dick, who was 53 at the time of that filing. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Scully granted the order, which mandates that Dick stay at least 100 yards away from Buckingham, his wife and his son. She was also ordered not to harass or attempt to make contact with him in any way.
In 2018, Buckingham split with Fleetwood Mac and a legal battle over lost wages with his former band ensued. Then, in February 2019, Buckingham suffered a heart attack and had to undergo triple bypass surgery. During the process, the insertion of a breathing tube damaged his vocal cords, leaving him questioning whether he would ever be able to sing again, he told The Times in 2021.
He spent much of the pandemic focusing on his recovery.
“I’ll tell you what: Between the Fleetwood Mac stuff and the heart attack, it’s all been humbling,” Buckingham said. “I’ve never suffered from a lack of confidence, and sometimes could get carried away with that in the process of leading the band. But everything has pulled me in a little bit. I’m not as aggressive a person as I was before, which is probably not a bad thing. It made me look around more — and become less self-involved, hopefully.”
