A MUM who travelled abroad for cheap surgery claims she woke up with a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) and a boob job she didn't ask for. <\/p>\n

Kimberly McCormick previously visited the same Mexico clinic for a weight loss procedure, and later wanted to remove her excess skin, she says. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

But instead of simply cutting away the flab on her arms, thighs and stomach, and giving her a breast lift, doctors allegedly increased her cup size and enlarged her bum.<\/p>\n

The facility then demanded more money and held her and her daughter inside until they coughed up, it is claimed. <\/p>\n

Kimberley, who is now warning people against "medical tourism", told Fox13 Seattle: "I've been disfigured and now I'm going to have to go under more surgery.<\/p>\n

"I don't care how enticing the offer is, don't do it, because the end result is not going to be something you are happy with." <\/p>\n

The parent, from King County, Washington, US, first visited the centre for weight loss surgery about six years ago.<\/p>\n

The procedure went as planned and the mum successfully dropped several dress sizes. <\/p>\n

This left her with loose skin, so she returned for further surgery and a breast lift – but she claims she got far more than she bargained for. <\/p>\n

"When I woke up, my chest was really sore and I just started bawling," she said. <\/p>\n

Staff apparently accused her of asking for "full C cup" implants, which Kimberley, who was previously a B cup, firmly denies. <\/p>\n

She also denies ever asking for a BBL – where fat is transferred to the buttocks from elsewhere in the body – and insists her extra skin was never removed as requested.<\/p>\n

Kimberley, who claims she was left with a severe infection and struggling to breathe, said: "I was just afraid I was going to die right there, and my daughter wouldn't have known."<\/p>\n

She added that she ended up paying an additional $2,500 (\u00a32,000) and signing paperwork to say she had agreed to the extra operations after medics allegedly threatened to throw her in prison for refusing. <\/p>\n

She is now awaiting further surgery because she "doesn't have enough skin" on her chest to enclose her unwanted implants. <\/p>\n

The family are in contact with the FBI, which advised people in similar situations to file a complaint and contact their banks. <\/p>\n
