I've spent £105k on surgery & flew from London to the Dominican Republic for bum implants – but they FELL OUT in the gym

However, after going under the knife and returning home, Chelsea's dream figure soon turned to a nightmare, when a gym workout caused her bum implants to 'come out'. On a recent ITV episode of Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, Chelsea explained: 'Six years ago, I went to the Dominican Republic because I heard that they were the best at doing bum implants. 'But then, when I got back from there, I went to the gym. I was squatting in the gym, and I felt something. 'My leg went all tingly, and I felt something come out. My implant was hanging.' Chelsea recalled that her implant had come out from under her muscle and described the experience as 'horrendous'. She added: 'If I knew all the ins and outs, I would have never got the bum implants because that was the worst, absolute worst journey I've ever been through, and it wasn't worth it.' Since then, Chelsea has spent £63,000 on corrective procedures to fix the issue. But while the procedure put Chelsea off of bum implant surgery, she has by no means been deterred from undergoing other procedures. In the latest episode of Olivia Attwood's docuseries, Chelsea joined the Love Island legend as she underwent her fourth boob job for just shy of £8,000, which saw her receive two implants weighing almost 1kg each. Moment Olivia Attwood gasps 'oh my god' as Price Of Perfection star reveals incredible before and after surgery pics after £250k makeover Opening up on her journey into plastic surgery, Chelsea acknowledged: 'I was quite eager and as soon as I turned 18, I was booked straight away to get my boobs done.' When looking at old photographs of herself before getting breast implants, Chelsea sighed: 'I look so ugly there. There's just no definition anywhere, there's no boobs, there's no bum.' What are the risks of getting surgery abroad? IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks. Safety standards in different countries may not be as high. No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad. If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment. Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK. Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems. Source: NHS It was Chelsea's career as a glamour model that led her to compare herself to others in the industry, which made her feel her chest wasn't big enough to compete with her colleagues. She admitted: 'I kind of fell into lingerie modelling, but I felt like I wasn't competing with the other glamour models that I was seeing. 'I had no boobs, I had like an A-cup, so I wanted to look like everyone else.' There's always something else you need, you want, or something that could make you look better Chelsea Robinson Harrison Following this, she soon went on to have two additional breast implants before her most recent one, in a bid to get a 'fuller' and 'bigger' result. Chelsea said: 'All in all, I've definitely spent over £100,000, probably £105,000. It's been eleven years, and a pricey eleven years.' Chelsea's implants are the largest available at the London-based clinic that Chelsea visited, as she explained: 'It's a lot if you think about carrying two of those around.' Despite the struggles, Chelsea concluded: 'There's always something else you need, you want, or something that could make you look better. 'It's almost like adrenaline, and I feel like that's what you're chasing as well.' Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection is now available to stream on ITVX.

Could illegal butt lifts get a Miami plastic surgery center suspended again?
Although a Sunny Isles Beach plastic surgery center ended a 30-day license suspension Saturday, don't expect anyone there to exhale in relief — another state complaint alleging illegal Brazilian butt lifts and inadequate patient pre-op care has been filed. And that could lead to another suspension of Perfection Plastic Surgery & Med Spa. Perfection declares itself the 'No. 1 Celebrity Plastic Surgery Center + Med Spa in Miami and Las Vegas,' but the Florida Department of Health found Perfection well short of that slogan and its name over inspections in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Some of the violations found last year repeat violations found on the two earlier inspections that earned Perfection, 16690 Collins Ave., Suite 702, its 30-day suspension. MORE: Miami plastic surgery center suspended for inadequate drugs, BBL patient exams As the designated physician, the doctor in charge of rules compliance at Perfection, Dr. Christian Quintero got hit with an administrative complaint with the same violations detailed in the complaint against Perfection. Neither Perfection nor Quintero responded to emails asking for comment on this complaint. Perfection's lone officer listed in state records is President Iris Kogan. Perfection doesn't list its doctors on its website, as many plastic surgery centers do. If you want to know who's authorized to perform surgery on you at Perfection, you'll have to go to the staff list on the center's Department of Health license entry. As of now, in addition to Quintero, medical doctors authorized to work at Perfection are Jason Dudas, Benjamin Eskenazi and Jadrien Young. MORE: Why did a Miami plastic surgery center get suspended? Illegal liposuction Perfection inspection The inspection that spawned the current administrative complaint happened on Aug. 22, 2024. According to the complaint, the inspector found the following violations: ▪ Perfection's crash cart, the cart loaded with drugs and equipment in case of emergency, 'was missing the required sodium bicarbonate 50 mEq/50 ml.' Crash carts have sodium bicarbonate, the University of North Carolina said, to 'correct low blood pH due to metabolic acidosis' and symptoms from low potassium. ▪ Perfection's detector for measuring the carbon dioxide at the end of each breath was expired. ▪ 'Perfection did not have a risk management program at the time of the inspection.' ▪ On June 7, 2024, Quintero 'performed liposuction, breast augmentation, and gluteal fat grafting on Patient S without conducting an in-person examination of the patient no later than the day before the procedure, without performing an immediate pre-operative examination of the patient, or without documenting these examinations in the patient's medical record.' 'Gluteal fat grafting' is the medical name for a Brazilian butt lift. ▪ On July 19, 2024, Quintero 'performed liposuction on Patient M, which removed more than 1,000cc of supernatant fat, in combination with fat transfer to the buttocks, chest, and deltoids, and nipple repositioning.' The limit on removing supernatant fat, fat 'floating on the surface of a sediment or precipitate,' says, is 1,000cc. ▪ During the same procedure, Quintero did a Brazilian butt lift 'without conducting an in-person examination of the patient no later than the day before the procedure, or without documenting such an examination in the patient's medical record.' Also, Quintero did the BBL 'without using, or without documenting the use of, ultrasound guidance.' ▪ The same day, with Patient 3, Quintero did a BBL 'without conducting an in-person examination of the patient no later than the day before the procedure and without performing an immediate pre-operative examination of the patient, or without documenting these examinations in the patient's medical record.' ▪ Perfection's 'surgical logs were missing required information for several patients between Feb. 9, 2024,and July 14, 2024, including the practitioner who performed the medical clearance; the duration of the surgery; diagnosis; patient's American Society of Anesthesiologists classification; and the type of anesthesia used.' READ MORE: Unfit gas passer in Broward BBL death lost her license. The surgeon hasn't ▪ Several patients between June 7, 2024, and July 19, 2024, didn't receive in writing from the surgeon the name and address of a hospital where the surgeon has privileges to do the same surgery, if necessary. They also didn't get the name and address of a hospital with which the surgeon or Perfection has a transfer agreement.

Miami plastic surgery center suspended for inadequate drugs, BBL patient exams
'Perfection' starts the name of a Sunny Isles Beach plastic surgery center that fell short enough of its name in patient safety violations to get its license suspended for 30 days. From a suite in the high rise at 16690 Collins Ave., Perfection Plastic Surgery & Med Spa sells Brazilian butt lifts (BBL), breast jobs, mommy makeovers and penis augmentation. But, Perfection got put on hiatus until July 12 for lacking the drugs an office surgery center should have, inadequate BBL patient exams among other violations. Management refused comment when a Miami Herald reporter dropped by the office. State corporate records say Perfection's run by president Iris Kogan and Angela Kogan is its registered agent. Perfection inspection problems Perfection received office surgery registration license OSR1709 on Sept. 19, 2022 and received a Florida Department of Health inspection visit on Dec. 6, 2022. An administrative complaint was filed Aug. 16, 2024 listing the major problems found. ▪ The crash cart, the cart with the medical emergency equipment, lacked required drugs: Atropine 3 mg, used for dangerously slowing heart rate, according to the University of North Carolina; Epinephrine 1mg in 10ml, which treats increased heart rate and possibly fatal allergic reactions; Dextrose 50%; 50 ml, which treats hypoglycemia, a dangerous drop in glucose. ▪ Perfection didn't have benzodiazepine, which the Cleveland Clinic defines as 'medications that make your nervous system less active.' ▪ Perfection's risk management program, 'on one or more noncompliant' or, at the time of inspection, nonexistent. ▪ Before a surgery, surgeons should, in writing, let the patient know of a hospital where the surgeon can perform the same surgery about to be done at Perfection or the hospital where the surgeon or Perfection has a transfer agreement. Perfection's surgeons — which aren't listed on the website, unlike most other surgery centers — didn't do the above, at least once. The Florida Department of Health returned in August 2023 for another inspection in which the violations were detailed in a December 2024 administrative complaint. ▪ The crash cart still didn't have the Atropine and Dextrose, but now also was bereft of Magnesium sulfate 2 grams, also called 'epsom salts' which treats a variety of seizures and heart rate abnormalities; and Lidocaine, 100 mg, which treats 'life-threatening arrhythmias,' North Carolina said. ▪ At least one, possibly more, surgeons doing BBLs 'failed to conduct an in-person examination of a patient no later than the day before the patient's procedure.'

Book Box: How to build a mountain house
Dear Reader, These days I am either waiting for electricians or stonemasons or plumbers. Building a house in the mountains sounds romantic I know —but wait until you spend long moments arguing with a wood polish man who insists ebony is chestnut brown. When the cement work goes awry, I take a deep breath, and think of Peter Mayle doing repairs on a farmhouse in the French countryside in A Year in Provence. Mayle's genius is turning disaster into comedy, his self-deprecating charm making even the most infuriating mishaps feel like part of the adventure. That's the spirit, I tell myself. Someday, this will be a funny story too. Smile - and take all the squelch and snafus in your stride. Never mind that the wooden beams have been laid in the wrong direction, that the electricity has been gone all day and that the wood polish man is still insisting his shade of ebony is identical to the chestnut brown sample - surely this will make a good story. And surely Peter Mayle endured all this and worse. And after all isn't this the life-in-the-Himalayan-mountains-dream that we city types are forever chasing ? In the evenings, I return to the little room by the building site, too exhausted to do much else but gaze at the ceiling above me. Are those rafters even symmetrical and why on earth is there a gap between the beams - and why is this trailing black wire tacked on top — my brain refuses to shut down. Then I open a little novella by Italian writer Vincenzo Latronico, aptly entitled Perfection. I mean to escape into a book that will soothe me - instead I find one that holds up a mirror to me. Shortlisted for this year's International Booker Prize, this novella dissects the illusions of aesthetic perfection. It tells the story of Tom and Anna, two designers who live in Berlin - in a light filled art deco apartment with tangled foliage, where plants shelter in the nook of a bay window, complete with a Scandinavian farm chair, and an artfully placed magazine left face-down on the seat. Theirs is the perfect life, going to art galleries, working on their laptops after lazy lunches in trendy cafes. Their world is beautiful, but it's also a performance, an illusion of a carefully created life. And Latronico's brilliance lies in exposing the fissures beneath this curated existence. Is this what I do too, I wonder ? Do I curate my reality ? I pick my phone and scroll through the pictures I sent my friends. Each one tells a beautiful story. In one shot from our picnic by a waterfall, my friends are stretched out onto a sunlit rock. In another, their two black dogs are splashing in the green foam flecked water against mountainsides covered with deodar trees. It all looks blissful and idyllic - a far cry from spending all day sweltering in the sun waiting for a stone mason. The next morning, sunlight floods the room, and for a moment, I consider staging the perfect shot—laptop on a blue blanket, mountains in the background, the illusion of effortless creativity. But Perfection has made me hyper aware of the frames we choose. And of what lies outside the frame of my iPhone. I look again. And now I see the greasy omelette on a melamine plate, the chaos of half-unpacked boxes, and sneakers gritty with construction debris. 'Reality didn't often live up to the pictures. In the mornings it often would.' says the narrator in Perfection. It's a line that lingers with me. The magic of books like these is how they reflect our own contradictions back at us. Reading Mayle has taught me to laugh at the mess; Latronico teaches me to see beyond the frame. And when this house is finally standing, I'll owe its soul not to the perfect beams, but to the crooked ones—and the books that helped me love them. And you dear Reader, do you have your own frames? What do you capture and what do you leave out ? (Sonya Dutta Choudhury is a Mumbai-based journalist and the founder of Sonya's Book Box, a bespoke book service.
