14 DAY TRIAL // Elizabeth Starr is better known for her work in a certain segment of the adult industry but she’s also done some work as a glamor model. Famous for her supersize breasts, she’s now revealing that she’s actually dying because of the illegal string implants she had put in years ago.
Starr is an impressive O cup and her breasts are still growing. She had the implants put in in 1999 to boost her career, gladly forking up the money for what she believed was a legal, tested, and approved medical procedure.
It turned out she’d been deceived and, as she tells the Daily Mail, she’s been paying the price ever since.
The string implants are actually polypropylene string implants inserted in the breast that “stimulate fluid production and growth,” says the tab. The breast doesn’t stop growing after the intervention but this comes with several complications, which is why the procedure was only available for a very short time before it was banned by the FDA.
Starr has had the string implant removed from one breast but this was impossible for the other, as it had become too embedded in the tissue. All these years, she spent a fortune on 63 corrective procedures but she’s been informed that, at this point, a double mastectomy would be the only viable alternative for her.
She is running a very high risk of blood clots and developing an infection, but the weight of her breasts is also wreaking havoc on her body.
“I'm a ticking time bomb because anything could happen to me – I'm so scared,” she tells the Mail.
Starr doesn’t make excuses for her decision, saying that, at the time she opted for the procedure, she knew it was the only way she could break in the industry, but she does advise women to do proper research before doing anything on their body. In fact, this is why she’s speaking out today.
“If you are going to attempt to try to become as busty as I am you are putting yourself at extreme risk. You have to know what you are getting yourself into because it will change your life forever. I'm in constant pain – bending down and getting dressed are difficult because my back hurts from the weight of my breasts,” she says.
“I was basically the victim of an experiment and I've been paying the price for it ever since. Now I live day to day worrying I might be struck down by infections or blood clots – it's ruined my life,” Starr continues.
She says she won’t go under the knife again, much less for a mastectomy. Starr chooses to live in fear and in pain and, in the meantime, she’s sounding the alarm on the risks of plastic surgery.
