Amy Childs has become the latest celeb to speak out about the dangers of breast implants after going under the knife to have her botched boob job rectified.
The former Towie star has had three breast enlargements since she was 18 to get to a double E size, but was forced to remove them this spring after one of the implants exploded beneath the tissue.
Speaking to The Sun Online, Amy revealed that she had made the decision to take it out in May, as they were leaving her in ‘horrendous pain.’
‘I started getting pain in my left implant, and when I had it checked out it had ruptured,’ the 29-year-old said.
The mother-of-two continued: ‘I was so scared. It was so bad. I was in horrendous pain. I was terrified because implants can leak into your organs – it’s not good at all.’
Going in for reconstructive surgery to return to a C cup in June, things got more serious as Amy’s doctors revealed that her fears had come true and the implants had leaked into her breast tissue, causing a lump.
‘It was so dangerous,’ she admitted. ‘They said that if I’d waited a couple of years I would be in trouble.’
The star, who first went under the knife 11 years ago, wishes to warn other girls about making the same mistakes as her.
She added: ‘I feel a completely different person now and I’m happy I look more natural now I’m a full-time mum.
‘I’ve had three boob jobs now and I’m only 29. I just wish I had waited until after I’d had my children – and that’s what I’d say to everyone else – just really think about it first.’
Another star to recently remove her implants is Strictly Come Dancing and Drag Race star Michelle Visage, who went under the knife to reduce her famously big boobs after more than 20 years.
Fearing they were making her sick with increased speculation about breast implant illness, Michelle went back to her original chest size in February.
In her boobs’ memory, RuPaul’s Drag Race held an ‘In Mammorium’ segment for them at the season 11 finale.
