A mother-of-two whose quest for the perfect bottom led to a quadruple limb and buttock amputation has warned other women against black market silicone injections.
Hair stylist Apryl Michelle Brown, from LA, spent five years in excruciating pain when an unlicensed practitioner injected her buttocks with bathroom sealant, telling her it was silicone, in order to enhance them.
Doctors had no idea how to treat the botched implants and told her she might have to live with the agony, but when they finally operated the injections became so badly infection she was induced into a coma.
It was only when she awoke two months later that Apryl, now 46, discovered the lengths medical staff had gone to to keep her alive.
The 46-year-old former hairdresser blames “vanity” and wants to warn others of the terrible dangers of suchillegal treatments.
“I got the butt implants eight years ago,” she told NBC.
“For five years, I lived in pain. Excruciating pain.”
She said: “ I’ve paid a terrible price for vanity and I’ll pay for the rest of my life. But I blame no one but myself, I want to share my story to warn others about these so-called ‘quick fix’ surgeries”.
“I want to warn others of the dangers of black-market surgery. We were born whole, perfect and complete.
“My greatest message is we have to learn to love and
accept ourselves for who we are."
