A MUM who ‘just wanted perkier boobs’ has warned others to do their research before travelling abroad for surgery after her implants ‘burst out of her chest’.
Kelly Young jetted off to Turkey with a friend who was having her teeth done.

She went under the knife in Turkey in September, but on returning to the UK, she was told her wounds were infectedKennedy News
The 48-year-old said she hadn’t done much research before booking the appointment and flying out.
Now, she is looking for another surgeon to fix the damage caused by an implant that ‘burst out of her chest’.
Kelly, who lives in New Malden, Greater London, had surgery to boost her cup size to a double-D in the UK 24 years ago.
But when the right implant ruptured in 2018, she decided to have them replaced as well as an uplift.
In September she spent a total of £6,200 on the initial surgery, flights and accommodation for the second procedure in Turkey.
She said: “I’d been waiting years to have it done. I wanted to get it done so I decided I was going. I didn’t want to be without implants.
“I thought I’d get them a bit perkier, I went for an uplift with new implants. Turkey was the cheapest place to go to get it done.
“When I got back, my daughter went to change my dressing and said the stitches had come undone and it was weeping.
“My doctor said it was infected and put me on antibiotics. I was seeing the district nurses every day to keep an eye on it and dress it. It started oozing more and getting bigger.”
Kelly said that medics had to pack wadding inside the hole on a daily basis in order to stop it getting bigger.
But eventually, it became too big and Kelly had to go to A&E.
“It was a great big hole. I wouldn’t look at it, I didn’t want to know.
“It was literally hanging out and I was advised not to fly but it was my choice so I decided to go back. I had to get on the plane with my implant hanging out, I was frightened.
“The day after the surgery a whole load of blood started coming out of it.
“The surgeon said it was normal and would be like that for a few more days so I flew home but it opened up in a different area,” she said.
A breast surgeon in the UK advised Kelly that she was losing the second implant due to a ‘massive infection’.
They told her that she should have waited six months before having another implant inserted.

She added: “Every day it was getting bigger so I went back to Turkey. They said there was nothing they could do, they’d take it out and I shouldn’t have any more treatment, no uplift or anything.
“He said I had very little breast and some sagging skin and that was it. I went home because I was depressed out there”, Kelly added.
After having the implants removed, Kelly says her confidence has been shattered and she’s now looking for another surgeon who can fix the damage.
Kelly said: “I’m very unhappy with them, I feel like a 12-year-old again. I don’t let my boyfriend see me, everyone knows me with my boobs.
“I’m on antidepressants, when I was out there I wanted to jump off a cliff.
“I’ve got three lots of scarring with a flat chest. I feel like a different person.
“I have to get them done, I wouldn’t be able to wear a bikini – summer would be a nightmare.”
Kelly added that she didn’t think there would be complications.
“I didn’t think that if there was, seven weeks later they would just tell me I couldn’t have any more surgery.
“People need to do research, look at all the complications that can occur and make sure they don’t pay in cash because if you pay by card you have more rights,” she added.
