Adult
film star, Elizabeth Starr had the illegal 'string' implants 15 years
ago to boost her career but she now fears the implants will kill her as
her breasts has ballooned to an O cup. So far she has has endured a
staggering 63 corrective procedures, says she can't face more surgery
despite being at risk from blood clots and infection as it would mean
the end of her career.
'I was basically the victim of an experiment and I've been paying the price for it ever since.
'Back
then I had a family to support and I knew getting bigger boobs would
boost my career prospects. Now I live day to day worrying I might be
struck down by infections or blood clots - it's ruined my life.'
Ms
Starr, from Los Angeles, California, was already a 32F when she opted
for the polypropylene string implants in 1999. The £3,000 procedure
involved inserting synthetic string into the breasts to stimulate fluid
production and growth. But just a few days after the operation she began
suffering complications...
'My
right breast was bright red and swollen and I felt weak and shaky. The
surgeon cut some tissue away from the breast which he thought might be
infected. But the infection gradually ate a hole in my right breast the
size of a 10-pence piece. The pain was unbearable.'
Elizabeth
had the string implant removed from her right breast, however, the left
one was already too embedded to be taken out. Over the next 14 years
Elizabeth spent a staggering £200,000 on reconstructive operations to
put right damage from the surgery...
'I'm a ticking time bomb because anything could happen to me - I'm so scared.'
