A MOTHER and her daughter in Britain who both have a rare condition which makes their skin wrinkle prematurely have undergone matching £50,000 (US$75,000) facelifts.

    Tracey Gibson, 45, and her daughter Zara Hartshorn, 18, both suffer Lipodystrophy, a rare condition which makes fat dissolve beneath tissue.

    While Zara had a facelift at the age of 16 to stave off bullies, her mother has long suffered lingering stares and cruel nicknames.

    Having been rejected by the NHS for a free operation, the mother of seven thought she would be forever trapped in a sinking face.

    But, two years since her daughter received free surgery from American doctors, the 45-year-old has unveiled her new £50,000 face after being flown overseas to receive the same VIP treatment.

    Speaking of the treatment — a face and neck lift plus Botox injections — Gibson, who was constantly teased as a child, says she has never felt better.

    “My face is worth £50,000 and it feels absolutely amazing when I get up in the morning,” she said.

    “I’ve been called a ‘granny’ and a ‘monkey’ all my life and when I look at old pictures now I think I looked like the dragon off Shrek,” she said.
