A plastic surgeon who has done work on stars of The Only Way Is Essex is bravely battling on the Covid-19 frontline for the NHS.
Harley Street doctor Lucy Glancey’s day job involves doing nip-and-tuck operations and boob jobs for celebrities and other rich clients.
But when her clinic closed due to the coronavirus crisis she answered the call for help.
The mum of six, 49, has been working long hours identifying Covid-19 sufferers.
Her new role is a far cry from her usual job in her clinic in London.
Dr Glancey, from Colchester, Essex, has been mucking in and helping NHS staff by testing patients for the virus.
And she has been impressed by how organised and well-prepared the hospital has been – and at the tireless efforts of all those working there.
She said: “We couldn’t carry on with our procedures or surgery and I obviously am not working.
“I had seen a lot of my colleagues who work in the NHS and have heard stories of how they’re struggling, with the appeals on TV and the numbers which were growing of patients getting sick.
She went on: “I was just thinking I had the skills because I did accident and emergency before I went into cosmetic medicine and surgery, so I felt I’ve got the skills to help.
“I thought, A) It would be a waste not to use my skills and B) I’ve got a lot of time.
She added: “I expected it to be a bit more like a battlefield but I’ve been surprised by how much more organised it is.”
The plastic surgery expert revealed that before the onset of Covid-19 her job had included performing penis enlargements and buttock implants.
She revealed: “Our clients tend to be from Towie and those sort of celebs.
“With them, typically, we have been working on Brazilian bumlifts, buttock implants, contouring, waist reduction.
“Obviously, I deal with breast implants, eye lifts.
“Lots of girls are asking for designer vagina procedures and hair transplants.”
She went on: “And men are asking for beard transplants. They are the younger person’s demands, as they’re after the perfect beard with no bald patches in it.
“These are the things that people want nowadays, but things change.
“Men are now very much into getting filler into their penis to increase the girth and indirectly the length as well.”
