She said: "I was going through all kinds of s*** with my endometriosis. "I had taken this medication and I gained 40lbs in like three months. It was crazy. And I had to do this like campaign shoot and I hated how I looked. "I went to Beverly Hills, mom [Julie Chrisley] went with me, I did the surgery. "And for me, it was just, I felt like s***. I didn't like how I looked." Speaking to Dr. Galanis, who said Savannah was "cursing like a drunken sailor" following her treatment, the star said: "I kept saying you were hot.

Awful way businesswoman, 40, died after plastic surgery on her BUTTOCKS
A well-known businesswoman who was beloved in her community died tragically after undergoing three cosmetic procedures shortly after her milestone birthday, authorities have revealed. Natália Cavanellas, 40, went into cardiac arrest Monday afternoon just moments after she had received an injection in her buttocks while on the operating table at San Gennaro Hospital in Sao Paulo. A Sao Paulo Civil Police report obtained by G1 news outlet showed that Cavanellas contracted the services of renown plastic surgeon Edgar Lopez to undergo a liposuction, injection to the buttocks and additional work on her breast implants. Lopez was nearing the end of the cosmetic surgery at about 4:20 pm local time when he applied an injection to the gluteal area. Cavanellas' heart stopped beating and the medical staff attempted to revive her before she was confirmed dead. 'The medical team reportedly began resuscitation maneuvers, but were ultimately unsuccessful, although the victim responded to initial resuscitation,' the police report said. 'The patient died in the operating room itself.' The operating staff told the investigating officers that they believed that Cavanellas' cardiac arrest may have been caused by a 'fat embolism,' which is caused by fat particles that reach the bloodstream and block the flow of blood. Cavanellas was not suffering from any known illnesses at the time of the surgery, her sister told the police. The businesswoman had gotten breast implants around two years ago and did not report any issues. A lawyer for Lopez said in a statement that Cavanellas had undergone a series of tests prior to the procedures. 'Unfortunately, the patient developed a serious complication, compatible with pulmonary embolism, a rare event, but recognized in the medical literature as possible, even with all the preventive measures adopted,' the attorney said. 'The responsible professional has been providing full assistance to the family, remaining available for technical clarifications, always respecting the patient, the family and medical confidentiality.' Lopez claimed on his professional website to be an expert in high-definition liposuction, which is also known as liposculpture, and mammoplasty. The surgeon also boasted about having been the first doctor in the South American nation to have used Renuvion, a minimal invasive technology that tightens the skin whether a person undergoes liposuction or not. While Lopez is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery stripped his recognition in May 2021 after it was found that he was not following their guidelines. In July 2021, the Regional Medical Council of the State of São Paulo banned Lopez from practicing medicine for six months before a court intervened two months later and reduced the punished to four months. The ban was extended in November and Lopez was allowed to resume his duties in May 2022. Cavanellas leaves behind her husband, whom she married in 2019, and the couple's three-year-old daughter. She ran her own public relations, marketing and events planning company, offering her support to a 'community with more than 800 businesswomen and executives.' In March, Cavanellas was honored by the São Paulo City Council as one of the 100 most successful women in business.

Businesswoman, 40, dies after excruciatingly painful plastic surgery procedure at famed doctor's luxury clinic
A 40-year-old woman died after undergoing liposuction that was performed by a renowned plastic surgeon in Brazil. Natália Cavanellas, a well-known businesswoman, had the operation at San Gennaro Hospital in Mooca, São Paulo but went into cardiac arrest before she was declared dead, the São Paulo Department of Public Safety said. Cavanellas' sister told police that she 'received first aid, but did not survive.' The surgery was carried out by Dr. Edgar Lopez - who according to his website profile - claims to be an expert in high-definition liposuction, which is also known as liposculpture, and mammoplasty. Lopez also claimed to have been the first doctor in the South American nation to have used Renuvion, a minimal invasive technology that tightens the skin whether a person undergoes liposuction or not. Brazilian news outlet Metropoles reported that Lopez' private clinic, which is located in the São Paulo southern upscale neighborhood of Moema, was still open as of Tuesday. Cavanellas leaves behind her husband, whom she married in 2019, and the couple's three-year-old daughter. She ran her own public relations, marketing and events planning company, offering her support to a 'community with more than 800 businesswomen and executives'. In March, Cavanellas was honored by the São Paulo City Council as one of the 100 most successful women in business. Prior to going under the knife, Cavanellas shared a video clip of her birthday bash last week – the party also served as networking event for women. 'In a world full of superficial connections, I chose the opposite path: genuine, real relationships and connections,' she wrote. 'This is how NATworking came about, where networking meets entertainment, creating a lively and ideal environment for generating opportunities, business, partnerships and lasting friendships. 'Welcome to the fourth decade of my life! My purpose of connecting people and stories is growing stronger and stronger!' Cavanellas' death stunned a tight-knit community of businesswomen who looked up to her. 'Thank you for all the love you always showed us,' podcaster Scheila Santo wrote. 'Congratulations on a beautiful journey, inspiring so many women! I am sure your daughter is very proud of the mom you are.' 'Nat has always been, and always will be, a go-to for me,' Carla Pinheiros said. 'She was unique in networking, positioning, transforming events into remarkable experiences,' the communications adviser added. 'May her legacy live on in all that she built and inspired.' 'Nat I'm still in disbelief,' wrote Dr. Larissa Saib. 'Just a short while ago we were together celebrating your life. I can't understand why God took you now.' The Mayo Clinic considers liposuctions – a procedure where fat is removed from a specific part of the body and shapes the area – to be dangerous. The risks include internal puncture, infection, kidney and heart problems.

Botched tummy lipo made my boobs triple in size due to a side effect – I'm not complaining as toy boys can't get enough
A WOMAN dubbed the claims her breasts got three sizes bigger after she had botched £7,382 liposuction on her stomach - and apparently, they are still growing. Elaina St James was happily sporting a DD-cup prior to her surgery, which targeted fat cells to give her a more toned appearance. 8 But the 58-year-old was stunned when she noticed an unexpected side effect. In the months following the 'botched' surgery – which left her stomach looking 'lumpy' - Elaina's chest inflated so much that the content creator was forced to overhaul her lingerie wardrobe to accommodate the changes. The cougar is now a 36G cup size - but this could increase further. 'I thought I was going crazy at first,' said Elaina, who boasts 430,000 Instagram followers @elainastjames. 'I asked my doctor if it was possible that the liposuction was causing my boobs to grow. 'I couldn't think what else it could be, as I hadn't made any major changes to my lifestyle. 'I was shocked when he immediately confirmed my suspicions. 'The doctor explained that when fat cells are removed during liposuction, sometimes the body compensates by kind of inflating them in other areas. 'Apparently, it's not that uncommon. 'I couldn't believe it. 'I was blessed with naturally large breasts, so it wasn't an area I had ever wanted to enhance. 'I had no idea this was even possible.' A 2007 study shared in the US' National Library of Medicine found that nearly half (48%) of participants reported an increase in their breast size following liposuction of the abdominal wall. Elaina, who hails from the Midwest but currently lives in North Carolina, opted to go under the knife after years of feeling self-conscious about her stomach. She said: 'I started out in this industry as an older woman, so I always had a 'mom bod' - but I just didn't feel comfortable being in front of the camera all of the time with my stomach out. 'Diet and exercise weren't making any difference in terms of toning it, so I started looking into liposuction.' Elaina explored different options before choosing to go with a large, national provider with 'great reviews'. But she felt dismayed with the finished look. A few months later, she looked at options to get the lipo revised. That's when she noticed the bizarre weight fluctuation to her chest. 8 8 8 Elaina said: 'I wasn't gaining weight anywhere else but I noticed my bras were becoming too tight. 'I had been wearing a DD cup size for years but suddenly they weren't fitting right. 'I was overflowing. 'I knew it was weird but I was so busy with moving and being a mom, that I didn't think too much about it.' More self-conscious than ever, once she was settled in her new home, Elaina paid another $10,000 to get liposuction with a second doctor in February 2025 - 16 months after her first procedure. This same physician confirmed that the first procedure had triggered her breasts to grow. Elaina said: 'They haven't stopped growing since. 'It's crazy. 'I now wear a 36G bra and with larger cup sizes you have to pay more for the brands that cater for them – so it's expensive having to get a whole new set. Do breasts get bigger after liposuction? Plastic & Aesthetic Surgeon Dr. Leonard Josipovic shared that it isn't uncommon for breasts to appear larger after lipo. It's not as strange as it sounds. When you have liposuction, fat cells in the treated area, such as the stomach, are permanently removed. But your body still has fat cells in other places. If you gain weight after the procedure, those remaining fat cells can grow larger. Since the treated area now has fewer fat cells, weight gain may show up more in other parts of the body like the back, upper arms, face or even the breasts. Breasts are made up of both glandular tissue and fat. The amount of glandular tissue is influenced by hormones, age and genetics, while the fat content can change depending on your overall body composition. So if someone gains weight after lipo, it's entirely possible that some of that fat gets stored in the breasts, making them look fuller. It's not that fat has physically moved from one place to another, it's just that your body now stores fat differently. Liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a weight loss treatment. If someone keeps their weight stable and sticks to a healthy lifestyle after surgery, fat won't suddenly shift to strange places. But if weight is gained, it will show up in areas that weren't treated - and that can include the breasts says Dr. Leonard Josipovic. 'It has cost me $450 to get new everyday bras that fit my new size. 'I'm hoping I don't grow much more, because it gets to a point when boobs become too big to manage.' While she isn't overly thrilled with the unexpected side effect, Elaina's new look has proved good for business. She said: 'It's not the worst thing in the world to have big boobs – especially in my line of work. 'Men love it. 8 8 'Some of my fans even spotted the increase before I did. 'Women's bodies fluctuate all the time, so it took a while for me to register the change. 'I started getting comments that my boobs looked bigger. 'I thought it was just because my stomach was thinner, giving the illusion of a larger chest – but they turned out to be right.' While Elaina values having a 'natural aesthetic', she is pleased with her new look – including the unexpected changes. She added: 'There's a lot of pressure to look good for women at every age and I'm all for it if you want to address insecurities. 'I remember getting comments saying I should do some sit-ups, put down the pizza or even go on Ozempic before having liposuction. 'I feel really confident in my body now and I'm embracing my new breasts too. 'Although I didn't intend to get a boob job, I'm definitely not complaining!' 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 appeared as if the 39-year-old Mulligan actress had just had plastic surgery but she left no comment to indicate that. Fans begged her to answer what she went through but there appeared to be no response. Teigen has been candid about the work she has had done.

From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It appeared as if the 39-year-old Mulligan actress had just had plastic surgery but she left no comment to indicate that. Seen on May 19 in NYC Chrissy had liposuction on her armpits. 'I had my armpit sucked out,' she said in reply to someone who asked what was the craziest treatment she had ever received. The procedure, she said, added 'two inches of length' to her arms and made her feel more confident while wearing sleeveless shirts. Detailing the liposuction to Refinery29, she said: 'I had an armpit sucked out, which was one of the best things. It's a big secret, but I don't care.' The model further explained the effects of the procedure, calling it the 'dumbest' thing she has ever done. She said the effects turned out not to be permanent and noted she was thinking of getting it done one more time. 'And I had two inches to my armpit. Now it's back though, so now I've gotta pay for [liposuction] again. It was so easy,' she added. 'It made me feel better in dresses; I felt more confident. It was the dumbest, stupidest thing I've ever done. The dumbest, but I like it, whatever. I have no regrets, honestly.' The model hasn't previously given any indication she'd have extensive work done for cosmetic reason, but insisted she felt very comfortable talking about it publicly. 'I'm not shy talking about that sort of thing,' she added. 'I have no regrets.' The model with husband John Legend at Gold House 4th Annual Gold Gala at LA's The Music Center on May 10 Chrissy later took to Twitter to confirm the armpit procedure actually happened. Chrissy's admission about getting cosmetic procedures done came after she said on Twitter she'd had Botox injected in her jaws, but not for aesthetic reasons. According to Chrissy, the procedure was done to relieve jaw clenching - an ailment she blamed on President Donald Trump. 'I also had Botox in my jaw muscle to relieve tension from constantly clinching. I was not like this before,' she tweeted. 'Pay my bill, POS POTUS.' Asked what the craziest thing she had ever done in the name of beauty was, the model previously revealed she'd had veneers put on her teeth. 'I shaved away my teeth and made them into little pencil points for nice teeth, that's kind of weird if you think about it,' she told Harper's Bazaar. 'I was a notorious teeth-grinder, so all my front teeth became a couple millimeters shorter.'
