A nursing student who has spent $200,000 on cosmetic surgery in the past decade said the coronavirus pandemic is saving her more than $1,500 a month on treatment expenses after the Australian government banned beauty therapists from operating on March 25. 

But despite the monthly savings, Zilla Stacey, who runs Instagram account , has been forced to postpone three surgeries - buccal pad removal (fat in the cheeks), a liposuction correction and scar removal - and is concerned about how she will maintain her beauty standards. 

'I had to postpone my lipo correction at Cosmetic Avenue, which is frustrating because I planned it for winter so that when summer comes around I don't have to be in the surgical garments,' the 29-year-old, from Melbourne, told FEMAIL.

'They are basically like a wetsuit so they are super uncomfortable to wear when it's hot.'

The glow up!

Zilla Stacey, who goes by Miss Zedd on Instagram, has undergone $200,000 worth of cosmetic procedures since she started dabbling with Botox at 18 (pictured before and after)

Miss Zedd says her main fear is 'turning into a complete mole rat' after 14 years of having lash extensions filled in by a professional, missing her brows, nails, Botox and filler appointments.

 We can all go back to looking like pampered queens once things go back to normal.

An average month in her busy beauty schedule will involve 'filler of some sort', whether it be in her cheeks, lips, nasal folds, tear troughs, jowls, marionettes (lines around the mouth), chin or jawline.

One round of filler will usually last up to a year so she doesn't have to get everything done at once, only a top up on each area when needed.

In her decade-long foray into the cosmetic world Miss Zedd has also had Botox in her forehead, bunny lines (on your nose), smile lines, lip flip (above the mouth), chin and underarms. 

She gets treatments for cellulite and skin tightening whenever she notices a change and annually gets her brows tattooed and teeth (which have two sets of veneers on them) whitened.

Despite missing out on procedures Miss Zedd is confident that the Australian government has made the correct choice in keeping people at home. 

'We can all go back to looking like pampered queens once things go back to normal,' she said.

'Have FaceTime consultations and book things in later down the track to keep your businesses afloat, buy gift vouchers and shop online where you can.

'There's always plenty of YouTube videos on DIY Beauty treatment at home if you're game.'

'As an influencer promoting beauty is a huge part of my job and with businesses closing, we all lose brand deals and as I don't classify as an essential business it's hard,' she said
