TRUE STORY: Woman who lost her limbs after silicone injections

Since a very young age, April Brown felt very insecure about her unflattering backside. The hair stylist owned a salon in Los Angeles where she made other women feel and look beautiful. Her only wish was to have a more pronounced derriere. Little did she know, the wish became a reality and in the worst way possible. After getting silicone injections, Brown almost died and lost her limbs.

If you or anyone you may know ever contemplated the idea of getting illegal silicone injections, this post may just make all the difference in the world.

A killer body no matter what

One day, two women walked into Brown’s salon and as they began to conversate the topic of silicone injections emerged. Immediately one of the women said that she injected the substance and used her friend who had voluptuous glutes as an example. After witnessing the aspiring result, Brown made an appointment.

While being at the lady’s home, the victim was injected industrial silicone into both buttocks. After the second treatment, she realized that what she had done was wrong. Sadly, this thought came too late and as an end result the ―then 39 year old― began to experience severe pain; taking her straight to hospital.

Symptoms Apryl experienced:

• Hard glutes
• Discoloration
• Itching
• Extreme pain

In this interview the victim talks more about her life-changing experience.

Injecting unknown and unsafe substances into the body could have negative consequences which could conclude in death. Doctors were able to save Brown’s life by inducing her into a coma for 2 months, removing the tissue around her buttocks and cutting off both arms and legs. Sadly, in the United States silicone injections are a trend that have killed so many people.

KNOW THE FACTS: The only thing that could be injected into the buttocks is a persons own fat by a certified plastic surgeon. Even if the person selling the "procedure"claims to be a nurse or doctor, he or she may not have a license and is very well aware that doing so is illegal.

A lot of people will do the impossible to make money. Also, in certain cases negative results and pain may not show up until years after. In reality, medical procedures could only be practiced at a clinic or a hospital by someone who has received the proper training.
