EXPLODING BOOBS

     So, what straight man does not like to look at nicely shaped, round, big, fake boobs? Believe it or not, I have a few friends who prefer the small boobs, but in general men like the big fake ones. Well, what if those fake boobs you were enjoying just exploded internally on a woman? Pretty gross, right? Not so nice to look at anymore, huh? 

     That's what happened to Kim Brockhurst from Wales. Brockhurst claims that she didn't even want the double D-sized breasts. Her original plan was to go up two cup sizes, but she "ended up with these big heavy breasts," which were much bigger than she'd asked for. That's not the only mistake her surgeon made, however. Nine years later, her girls (her boobs) just didn't look right. She said, "My breasts slowly went out of shape - it was a terrible time." Here's where things get a little screwy because nothing could have prepared her for what happened next. Brockhurst's nearly $7,000 implants burst inside her body, leaking industrial-strength silicon into her. 51-year-old, Brockhurst, a fitness instructor, had to have reconstructive surgery to fix the faulty Poly Implant Prosthese, or PIP, implants, which medically were not authorized. 

     PIP went into liquidation in 2010 after all of its products were recalled. The company had been using silicone intended for mattresses. About 400,000 women worldwide were affected by the defective implants. Brockhurst couldn't afford the reconstructive surgery because the British medical system wouldn't cover all of it. So, a reality show called "Botched Up Bodies" fronted the bill and filmed her story. She said in one of the clips, "It was awful knowing I couldn't afford that surgery but all the whole I had silicone leaking into my body. I still don't know where it's gone and that's a real worry." 


     During the the surgery, the silicone came out "like milk." She said that it was disgusting to watch, but she's very happy to have the implants out of her. Her post-reconstructive surgery breasts are now 34D, which are still a very nice size and I would totally take a glance if I saw them. If I'm not mistaken, something like this happened to former WWE wrestler Joanie Lauer aka Chyna. I remember reading that one of her implants burst during a match and she had to be rushed to a hospital for surgery. I wonder if this is a common thing for women with implants? I mean, after all, it is pretty gross to have some foreign fluids in your body that aren't supposed to be there. It's a pretty big risk to get those implants, but oh so nice to look at.
