14 DAY TRIAL // She was once as popular and infamous as Jordan, but Jodie Marsh is now moving away from that image of herself. The glamor girl turned bodybuilder is now trying to warn other girls and women of the potential dangers of breast augmentation.
Four years ago, Marsh went under the knife to get a more generous cleavage: she wanted to go up from a 32DD to the 32GG she boasts today.
In an interview with the latest print issue of Heat magazine (story via the Daily Mail), Marsh is very honest about what went wrong and, at the same time, about how the procedure has left her terrified of having surgery ever again.
She says she only realized something was “off” when it was too late, 7 days after the intervention, when she was already feeling as if her breasts would explode because the stitches kept popping.
“I initially had a [breast] job because they were getting saggier as I got older. I’d lie on my back and they’d disappear. To me, they looked hideous. But it turned into a nightmare,” she says of why she wanted the intervention in the first place.
So, she booked an appointment and hoped it would solve this issue. Seven days after the surgery, she was already regretting the decision.
“When I woke up, they were so swollen. The first dressing was taken off after a week or so – that’s when I saw that I wasn’t healing,” she says.
“As the stitches started popping out of my skin, there was no skin to hold the incision together. My [breasts] looked like they were exploding. It was so painful. There was green pus coming out of my [breasts] and they constantly bled,” Marsh explains.
To this day, she's ashamed of taking her top off because of the scar the botched procedure left her with.
She says she could have it fixed but that would mean going under the knife again, and she's too terrified to do it because of what happened the first time around.
Marsh claims she's telling her story now because she wants to warn other women of the worst they can expect from a procedure they've been led to believe is completely risk-free.
“I wish I’d never had them done. People should realize that every [breast] job has the potential to become a horror story,” she says.
