She hit rot-bottom.
A UK gym bunny’s “vain” quest for a dream derriere nearly killed her after her bottom began “rotting from the inside out” following a botched liquid Brazilian butt lift.
“The decision to have butt filler completely and utterly ruined my life,” Charlotte Booth, 36, told Kennedy News of the backfired operation, which occurred in May 2023.
“I was hoping it was going to my quick fix to having the ideal bottom,” she explained. “Unfortunately it turned out to be the very long fix that nearly killed me and left me with a bum that none of us want.”
Accompany photos show massive, gangrenous abscesses in Booth’s backside, which she said looks like she’s “been hit with a machete on one side and shot on the other.”
Like many folks nowadays, the Manchester native — who worked out religiously — yearned for a more shapely posterior.
Booth explained that she’d seen her share of stories about cosmetic obsessives going to Turkey for liposuction, implants, and other procedures — a trend that’s yielded seperate surgical horror stories.
However, the booty-obsessed Brit eventually decided surgery was not for her, instead looking into liquid Brazilian butt lifts, a procedure that involves injecting filler into one’s posterior to increase the size, curvature and contouring.
This rear-enhancing procedure seemed promising given the lack of negative press at the time.
She decided to go through with the patootie-plumping procedure, choosing a company that was renting a room in a beauty clinic where she had previously undergone other procedures.
They injected 100 ml into each cheek, which she felt was modest given that some butt embellishers like to shoot 10 times that amount.
The gym enthusiast was then discharged with “no aftercare instructions” or phone number and told she’d “be sore for a bit.”
The beautician told her to drink as much water as possible because the filler absorbs water.
Booth found these cursory instructions suspicious and decided to do her own research.
“I’d gone onto the internet and looked at the aftercare and how long could potentially be in pain for,” Booth said. It said anything up to two weeks.”
On day five, her bum started getting “really hot, really red and really pink.”
Initially thinking she “drank too much water,” Booth decided to wait for the recommended two-week window before seeking medical attention.
That’s when her butt problems began to balloon out of control. Just 12 days in, Booth reportedly sprouted the aforementioned craters on her rump and had a heartbeat of 160 beats along with a high temperature.
“By the time we got to day 12 I’d actually passed out at home in pain,” she said.
However, when she reported to the hospital, the distraught gal said “judgmental” doctors turned her away, claiming there was nothing they could do despite her obvious symptoms.
Left with no other recourse, Booth went back to the clinic where she received the nightmare procedure.
They reportedly pumped her full of dissolver, gave her some antibiotics and discharged her — but her condition only snowballed from there.
“I had to leave the dissolver clinic with just my knickers on because my trousers were full of pus,” she said. “I’d literally had pus and filler rolling down my leg.”
Booth returned to the emergency room, where physicians reported she had sepsis, gangrene and necrotic abscesses — serious, life-threatening complications that made her medical consultant “horrified” that his colleagues sent her away a week earlier.
“Pre-surgery, where that hole was on my left-hand buttock, it was all black and crispy,” she recalled. It looked like burned chicken skin. The consultant said he’d never seen anything like it. He said I was ‘foaming out of both buttocks’.”
She added: “I was literally rotting from the inside out.”
Fearing that Booth wouldn’t last until morning if they didn’t operate that night, surgeons put her under the knife, eventually removing a large chunk of her left buttock as it had completely rotted away.
Thankfully the surgery was successful. However, Booth spent the ensuing nine-day recovery period “screaming” in the hospital because the pain was “worse than childbirth.”
“I’ve never, ever experienced pain like that in my life,” the patient lamented. “Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.”
Now, 18 months later, Booth says she’s far from “fully recovered.” The BBL survivor said she still struggles to walk upstairs, can’t sit in certain chairs, and lost tons of weight via copious vomiting because her body allocated energy to recovery rather than keeping food down.
In light of the traumatizing saga, the Brit is urging people to steer clear of the procedure.
“Don’t have it done. Don’t take the risk,” said Booth. “From what I’ve now discovered liquid BBL’s are actually more risky than going to Turkey and having the implants done.”
Instead she urges people to shape their booty the natural way via squats and other glute-enhancing exercises.
She added that the so-called quick-fix solution should be banned.
“They need to stop it before more people suffer like me or more people die,” added the survivor, referencing the tragic case of Alice Webb, a mother-of-five who died in September after undergoing the procedure.
Booth is not the only one to speak out against the potentially lethal injection. Following Webb’s passing, London surgeon Dr Kasim Usmani, 32, said that a death was inevitable given that the injections aren’t well regulated in the UK.
“I would never touch this procedure with a barge pole,” he declared. “It is devastating that a mother of five kids has lost her life due to this dangerous procedure.”
