I was given huge breast implants, a tummy tuck and lipo by MISTAKE – I wanted smaller boobs

A MUM was given huge breast implants, a tummy tuck and lip by mistake after going in to get smaller boobs.

Tiffany Mills claims she planned a reduction to tackle back pain, but woke up having had an extremely different surgery.

The 29-year-old came to in a hotel room and noticed she had drains coming out of her stomach.

The mum-of-three realised things had not gone to plan, but says when she complained was told "look at it like you got free surgery".

She was then rushed back to hospital when the implant tore open her skin.

The nurse was left with open wounds and blood clots in her lungs and legs, with doctors fearing she would develop septic shock.

Tiffany, from Tampa, Florida, US, said: "I woke up in the absolute worst pain of my life.

"I didn't qualify for the abdominal surgery [as] I had no extra skin to pull.

"They'd pulled my skin too tight, meaning I had a lot of scar tissue and wasn't able to stand up straight.

"My belly button looked like a coin slot because I'd been pulled as tight as possible.

"The incisions under my breasts ripped completely open because of the fact that they added implants, it was too much weight.

"It was the worst experience of my entire life.

"They didn't tell me that they'd mixed my details up with another patient until the next day - they owned up to their mistake over the phone.

"They also said 'don't be upset about it, look at it like you got free surgery'."

She had gone for the reduction to ease pain in her back, shoulders and neck due to being 5ft3 with a 32F bra size.

Tiffany had landed on the £6,000 procedure after her doctor recommended it.

Tiffany said: "We agreed to a lift and a reduction. Thirty minutes before the procedure, it was discussed that they would take a little more out of one breast so that they'd be even.

"I wasn't prepared for this but I said, 'if that's necessary then by all means'. I would prefer them to be even and look the right way. There was still no agreement on implants or tucks."

After coming round from surgery, Tiffany said she was rushed from the clinic by staff members as she was told they needed the bed.

Tiffany said: "They didn't even keep me for observation, they got me out of there as fast as they could.

"When I woke up in the hotel, I saw I had this binder across my stomach. I took it off and saw I had this huge hip-to-hip incision and bruises all over my sides.

"On my right nipple, the nipple had become detached from the areola. It was like this huge black hole, but the clinic told me 'oh, it's just a scab'.

"I knew they'd put implants in too, because they were sitting on my collar bone.

"At first, they weren't responding. They completely ignored me, and would hang up when I called."

'SO SCARY'

When Tiffany got through to the clinic the following day, she claims they admitted to a mix-up with her procedure and she demanded a refund.

Two weeks later, Tiffany was admitted to hospital after the wounds beneath her breast became infected and blood clots were found in her lungs and legs.

Her vet assistant partner Kris Harper, 28, was horrified to see the aftermath of the operation.

He said: "It's mind blowing that the doctor didn't listen to anything she said, she only wanted a lift and a reduction and he didn't listen.

"When she was brought out to me, she wasn't even awake. Her eyes were barely open, she was slumped over in the wheelchair and nobody was paying attention to her.

"It was so scary when she ended up going to the hospital, I didn't want to see her go through all of this.

"My emotions were running everywhere because everything was going wrong. I couldn't do anything."

Since the procedure, Tiffany has been struggling to get her life back to normal as the ordeal has taken a big financial hit on her.

Tiffany said: "I managed to dispute the surgery charge with my bank and get the money back. The clinic is trying to fight it and claiming that this is what I asked for.

"I'm still recovering, I just had my second surgery to correct part of the problem they caused."
