Gran, 59, 'mistaken for 36-year-old daughter's sister' after unbelievable transformation

Gran, 59, 'mistaken for 36-year-old daughter's sister' after unbelievable transformation EXCLUSIVE: As her sixtieth birthday loomed, a Yorkshire grandmother decided on a weight loss transformation followed by cosmetic 'tweakments' that, she says, has made her look 20 years younger A grandmother who says she felt “invisible” and “lost” in the run-up to her sixties has showed off the result of a £2,000 course of “tweakments” that have left her looking 20 years younger. Two years ago, at the age of 57, Pamela Dale decided to transform her appearance. At the time, she weighed 18st, and was wearing size 24 clothes. Pamela says she had been told that she was in danger of developing diabetes, so she put herself on a strict calorie-controlled diet and lost an impressive eight stone over about 18 months. After shrinking down to svelte size 10, the 59-year-old teacher then plumped for a number of 'tweakments' to restore volume in her face and tighten her jawline. Fortunately her daughter, Fay Darby, owns a beauty salon. Pamela says she laid out roughly £2,000 on aesthetic treatments including lip and cheek filler, Botox, a non-surgical neck lift, a liquid rhinoplasty, and skin boosters. Pamela, from Holmfirth, in West Yorkshire, said: "My side profile has just changed completely, some of my students think I'm in my 40s. That never happened before the treatments, I feel so much more confident. She added: “When Fay and I go out together sometimes, some people think I'm her sister. When we've got our nails done, the lady has asked if we're sisters or we're in Home Bargains and the cashier said it too. It happens quite often." Pamela said that the £2,000 had been money well-spent: "I just love the way that I look - much younger but still natural. She's literally transformed me. "It's not about turning back time, I don't want to be 21 again, it's about stepping into the best version of myself." Around two years ago, Pamela began getting a number of cosmetic treatments at her daughter's aesthetics clinic after losing weight. She said: "This is a journey I've been on over the last two years. It started with me trying to practise self-care and find my voice again. "I felt a bit lost, I'd put a lot of weight on. I've lost eight stone in the last 18 months through calorie-counting. I just felt so unhealthy, I was told I was on the verge of diabetes. You get to the point in life where you just stop looking after yourself, before deciding 'no my life isn't over'." Pamela explained: "As you get older, you almost become invisible to a certain degree, I felt like my life was on auto-pilot. It didn't start with me necessarily wanting to change the outside of myself, it was more about looking in. "It felt like it was my time to give back to myself, I didn't like the person looking back at me in the mirror. Turning 60 was in the back of my mind. I wanted the outside of myself to show the brave, resilient woman that I am. "It started off with an insecurity about my lips because they lose volume as you get older, I'd not done any aesthetics at all before." After Faye shared her mum's transformation online, they were inundated with comments praising her look - while some accused Pamela of having surgery to help achieve her new look. One wrote: "To me this looks like either a different person or a deep plane face and neck lift for sure.” Another commented : "If there's been no neck lift, that is miraculous."
