Woman Wanted Back Pain Cure, Ended Up With Nipples Surgically Placed Too High To Be Covered By A Bra

Woman Wanted Back Pain Cure, Ended Up WIth Nipples Surgically Placed Too High To Be Covered By A Bra
|

A woman who was left with nipples placed too high up due to a botched surgery disaster, finally got a resolution after TV company TLC paid for the corrective surgery.

57-year-old Anne Collins initially underwent surgery after her 32FF breasts were giving her chronic backache.

She said: "I always had big breasts and I hated them. After I had children, they got bigger, and then they dropped and were virtually around my waist. My posture was terrible, I suffered from terrible back problems and eventually, I felt, well, enough is enough and I can't carry on like this."

After she and husband Paul used their savings and pension to pay for the first operation, she was left with wonky nipples that were placed too far up her chest. So far, in fact, a bra wouldn't cover them.

"When I was 19, a doctor put in bigger implants than what I asked for. I was in such a hurry to get them that I didn't research my doctor," Richards told Us Weekly. "I just thought because they're a plastic surgeon, they must be good. You have to be your advocate for your own body and ask 100 questions."Later Richards wrote: "At 19 when I first got my breasts done, I wish that I was confident enough with my body to not have had surgery. That is something that I really want to encourage in my daughters, to embrace their healthy body and have confidence. I actually feel more confident in my skin now than in my 20's. Being confident is one of the sexiest qualities a woman can exude."(Getty photo) (credit:Getty)

Subsequently, she couldn't bear for her husband to look at her naked and started dressing and undressing in the dark.

She applied to the show Extreme Beauty Disasters to see if resident surgeon Dr Vik Vijh could explain what went wrong and how to fix it.

After the surgery that fixed her nipples

He said that the surgeon placed the nipples higher on the breast mound that he should have. "This then caused 'bottoming out' - which occurs when the skin that was stitched together during the operation can no longer support the weight of the chest and gravity takes hold. The breasts descent but the nipples don't."

After the surgery, a delighted Anne said she felt more feminine, sexy and confident. "I can wear a bra, I can wiggle around and nothing's popping out! They're perfect. It's changed the whole way I feel about myself, my confidence, my posture - it means so much to me."
