A gym instructor who paid £4,000 – N1m for a b**b job was horrified when surgeons first made her br**sts too big – and
then the impl*nts exploded inside her.
Kim Brockhurst, 51, went under the knife hoping to increase her 32AA br**sts by two cup sizes. But she was shocked when she came round after the surgery to find she had a pair of huge DD br**sts.
Ms Brockhurst says she learned to live with her oversized chest until she discovered she had been given faulty PIP implants which had burst, leaking industrial grade silicone into her body. To maka matters worse, she only learned of the problem when her new br**sts became lumpy and misshapen.
She told WNS:
I was really flat chested and I wanted a bit more bounce. So I saved up for the surgery hoping it would give me a nice confidence boost. But I ended up with these big heavy br**sts – much bigger than I’d asked for.
But it got worse when my br**sts slowly went out of shape – it was a terrible time. Soon I had a big dent in my right br**st and the impl*nt on the left just exploded – leaking the impl*nt’s industrial strength silicone into my br**st tissue.’
Ms Brockhurst had just gone through a painful divorce when she had the surgery in 2004 so she asked doctors to boost her chest to a modest 32B. It emerged that the French firm Poly Impl*nt Prothese (PIP) had been manufacturing impl*nts using industrial grade silicone intended for use in mattresses.
She eventually had the faulty impl*nts removed and her br**sts taken down to a more manageable 34D.
She said:
Everyone says it’s taken years off me. Sometimes it’s nice not to have a big cl**vage.’
