Woman left with a leaky belly button and a flap of fat covering her privates after a discount tummy tuck
Mum-of-one Samantha appeared on US TV show Botched to discuss her unfortunate condition
A WOMAN was left with a leaky belly button and a huge fold of fat covering her privates after her "discount" cosmetic surgery went drastically wrong.
Mum-of-one Samantha appeared on US TV show Botched to discuss her unfortunate condition, which left her with what doctors called the world's biggest 'supa fupa'.
According to TV doctors Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif, a 'Supa fupa' is a "large amount of fat that covers a woman's vagina" - but that's not all Samantha was left struggling with after her discount tummy tuck went wrong.
As well as her 'supa fupa', Samantha is burdened with a leaky belly button which oozes a smelly substance, something which she was understandably desperate to fix.
She explained on Tuesday's episode of Botched that she forked out for a discount tummy tuck after she was diagnosed with cancer by her previous gynaecologist.
She said that she originally went to her doctor for a hysterectomy after she was diagnosed with a giant cyst, but her gynaecologist discovered thyroid cancer during the pre-op.

And rather than prioritise the cancer, her dodgy doctor offered Samantha a discount tummy tuck as part of a surgical bundle which included the cosmetic procedure, cancer treatment and the removal of her cyst.
Samantha explained: "I started out with this giant cyst, so I had to have a hysterectomy. During the pre-op for that is when she discovered thyroid cancer.
"I had lost a lot of belly fat and so she said, 'Well I can help you get rid of this at a discount while I'm down there.'"
But doctors on the show were stunned to hear Samantha's shocking story.
When asked if she was ever concerned about the thought of a gynaecologist performing cosmetic surgery on her, Samantha said: "Well originally I told her, 'No.'
"But when she told me I had cancer, I changed my mind because I thought that was it for me."
Alarmingly, Samantha had the cosmetic procedure done first - six weeks before her doctor got round to removing her cancerous thyroid.

Samantha's dodgy doctor
Dr Dubrow, a specialist on the show, said: "That makes my head want to explode.
"When I hear that a doctor would want to treat a cosmetic deformity before taking care of a new cancer diagnosis…that screams of greed."
Thankfully for Samantha, doctors on the show were able to fix her 'supa fupa' and leaky belly button.
However, her previous botch job had hidden Samantha's belly button, meaning that Dr Dubrow had a hard time searching for it under her 'supa fupa'.
But the procedure was ultimately a success, and Samantha broke down in tears when she saw her flat new stomach for the first time, before proudly showing it off to her family.
Before the operation, Dr Dubrow told an emotional Samantha: "Guess what? This is the beginning of a new day.
"I'm excited to do this for you. I'm gonna fix it today."
