MUM of two
told how her quest for a bigger bottom left her a quadruple amputee – and 24
hours from death.
Apryl Michelle Brown had black-market silicone injections which turned
out to be BATHROOM SEALANT. It left her in agony and led to her losing
her hands and feet, as well as her buttocks.
The
46-year-old former hairdresser blames “vanity” and wants to warn others of the
terrible dangers of such illegal treatments.
Apryl 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 didn’t realise the dangers. I thought it was a
harmless injection that would give me the perfect bottom. But the
reality was the silicone used wasn’t suitable for humans. It was, in
fact, bathroom sealant only suitable for DIY”
“My body had
a massive allergic reaction to it which left me at the brink of death.
“I was in so much agony that, by that point, dying would have been a
release. The only way doctors could save my life was to amputate my
buttocks, my hands and feet.”
Teased as a
child about her “pancake” bum, Apryl vowed to buy a shapelier one when she was
older.
She said: “I
didn’t know if I wanted mine to look like Janet Jackson’s or J-Lo’s.
“I didn’t
even know how you could do it. I just wanted a new, bigger bottom.”
