Mum-of-two and famous pornstar was writing goodbye letters to children after botched boob job in Thailand left her on her deathbed
The botched surgery victim and was left with a flesh-eating bug attacking her breasts
When Lianne Young booked in for what should be a routine operation to replace her ten-year-old breast implants, she never imagined she would end up fighting for her life.
Lianne was 27 when she first had breast implants. She’d already had a successful career as a world famous pornstar and had always been happy with her natural chest.
But after having two children, her chest wasn’t as firm as it used to be.
"As well as needing a bit of an uplift, my boyfriend at the time preferred women with large breasts so he told me to go bigger," Lianne said.
"He offered to pay for my boob job and I contributed £500."
Lianne went under the knife going from a 34D to 30FF.
Over the years she never had a problem with her implants, but three years ago they were due to be replaced.
"I was excited because I was going to have my oversized breasts reduced to much more manageable 30Cs," she said.
After careful research she chose a clinic in Bangkok with good reviews.
"I was living in Australia at the time – and was told a lot of Australians and Brits travel to Asia for surgery, so I settled on a clinic there. The surgery cost £5,000."
In April 2013, Lianne travelled to Bangkok with her friend Carl and, at first, was excited about the whole process. But it soon turned into a nightmare.
"The hospital entrance looked more like a luxury hotel, with gold-coloured pillar surroundings, lots of curtain-walls and long-run escalators," she said.
"But when I saw my assigned surgeon, he stuck a needle into one of my breasts without warning and started draining the fluid from my implant.
"I was quickly left with one full breast and one that looked like that of a 90-year-old woman. When I was sent to the waiting room afterwards I thought, there’s no backing out now."
Lianne was then taken to a room where she was changed into a gown and taken to surgery.
Lianne was taken to her hotel in a tuk tuk, helped into her bed and given a Rohypnol tablet.
Seven days after the procedure she returned to the clinic to have a follow-up examination.
"I removed my top and lay down," she said.
"The doctor cut through the first layer of bandage wrap and pulled it away.
"Right away I could see blood and a yellowish substance, which had soaked through and made the dressing stick to my skin. I asked if I could see my new breasts but I was told to lie still.
"So, when the doctor looked away, I took the opportunity to take a photo using my phone. That’s when I felt the blood drain from my face.
"What I could see in the picture did not look good at all."
Lianne’s breasts were badly bruised and infected, with pus oozing from the unhealed wounds.
