Turia had a laser procedure last week and has noticed more people staring at her than usual as her skin blistered and scabbed over after the surgery.

In a candid Instagram post, Turia revealed that while the stares hurt, she was determined to “own” her circumstances.

“I’ve been recovering from laser surgery for the past week,” she wrote. “Sometimes I get really self-conscious after surgery – I feel like everyone is having a huge stickybeak [sic] at me.

“This week I felt it big time, and yeah, it sucks. But you know what? Sometimes in life when you’re on a quest to improve yourself, no one else’s opinion or judgement matters.

“You’ve gotta own yourself and wear your challenges like a boss – after all, no one else is gonna do it for you!”

Turia suffered severe burns to 65 per cent of her body when she was caught in a bushfire while running an ultra-marathon in 2011.
