Glamour model’s ‘botched boob job’ left her with implants that would slide up and under her armpit and collar bone
A NUDE MODEL’S ‘botched boob job’ left her with implants that would slide up under her armpit and collar bone.
A MODEL claims she was left feeling like a “monster” after her breast implants moved out of place, disappearing under her armpit and collar bone.
Amanda Marsh wanted to boost her bust to give her more confidence in front of the camera, reports The Sun.
But, the 31-year-old soon regretted her decision — after a pocket formed around her implants, allowing them to slide around.
They were able to travel up to her armpit and under her collar bone, leaving strange cavities around Amanda’s nipples.
She was forced to hide under baggy tops, which she refused to take off while having sex with her partner.
In April, the glamour model from Orlando, Florida, USA, underwent corrective surgery and is now able to proudly pose for photos again.
Amanda, a psychology and social work student, said: “The day I realised the implants could slide up and under my collar bone was when I knew something was wrong.
“Not only did the implant disappear entirely, but a cavity was created where it normally sat, around my pectoral muscle.
“I became incredibly aware of this.
“It took all of the new confidence away, and left me feeling deformed and embarrassed.
“I joked about this with intimate partners, but inside it killed me.
“Getting photos back to review and narrow down was a nightmare. I immediately had to scan them to look for the implants being too far apart, sliding over, sliding up around my collar bone.”
As a child Amanda struggled with her image and was often self-conscious of her smaller chest.
She said: “I was always overweight as a child and teen, and when I began to lose all of the weight, I realised I had almost zero breast tissue.
“The women in my family would tease me. They would joke that a bra was the only thing I needed a size ‘small’ for. Truthfully, the smallest bras in stores didn’t even fit me.
“I found myself keeping my shirt on during sex, because I felt so terrible and weird about my body,” Amanda recalled.
“I personally found it impossible to feel feminine, sexual, or attractive with a completely flat chest.
“I felt apologetic every time I was touched, especially if I dated someone new. I felt incomplete.
“Finally, I decided to have surgery because I am a nude model.
“After years of working hard to lose weight, to change my appearance, to find the confidence to stand in front of a camera, I loved the images I was able to create, but the breast size issue was always something that stuck out and almost absorbed each picture.”
Three years ago, in 2014, Amanda underwent a boob job and at first was happy with the results.
She said: “I remember waking up, looking down, and seeing my new shape, even under bandages.
“I was in total disbelief and over the moon with happiness.
“For the next year or two, I worked out at the gym even harder, booked more photo shoots and really took pride in my appearance.
“I stopped dressing like an insecure teenager, and began dressing in a more feminine way. Mature, confident, sexy.
“Shopping for bras and lingerie became one of my favourite things, because I’d never really done it before.”
However, not long after her op, Amanda began to notice that the implants moved and would slide under the skin.
She said: “I realised I could feel a ‘sliding under the skin’ sensation as one or both implants would move over to the side.
“The implant settled entirely in my armpit, and could be manually pushed back up to its original position easily, painlessly.
“If I pushed it back into place and let go, it would just slide, fairly quickly, back into my armpit.”
Amanda found it hard to wear bikinis and be intimate with her partner for fear her implants would slip.
However, when she returned to her original surgeon, he denied anything was wrong and instead pulled out her “before” photos, claiming she was better off now.
She said: “I was entirely caught off-guard by the entire nature of the visit.
