A mother-of-two’s breast implants reportedly fell out of her chest weeks after botched surgery in Turkey.
Angelica Isaksen, 27, from Stockholm, Sweden, forked out £6,000 for her second breast enhancement last June at a cut-price clinic she found on Instagram.
She claims she chose the clinic, which has not been named for legal reasons, after seeing celebrities promote it on the social media site.
Ms Isaksen also had a Brazilian bum lift and tummy tuck during her six-day stay in Turkey and was initially happy with her results.
But after two weeks she began noticing the silicone implant poking out of the scar under her right breast, which she claims had not been sealed properly.

The mother said: ‘I decided to video the implant coming out of my chest because I couldn’t believe my eyes.
‘I have shared it to prevent other women from choosing the cheaper option for surgery – it is frightening.
‘Immediately after surgery, I knew something wasn’t right as my right breast was swollen and sore.
‘I have had surgery before and a caesarean so I can handle pain, but this was horrendous.
‘After two days, my breast started leaking with blood, but I was told it is ‘normal’ and I made out to be overreacting.
‘They didn’t remove the tape to see what was going on – I assume the tape was holding the incision together.
‘After six days in Turkey, I returned home and I took the tape off – the stitches were opening, and my breast continued to bleed – it was so scary.
‘I added pressure to it with a towel and started panicking as I could see the implant coming out.
‘I was so worried in case it fell out on to my lap!
‘By the time I got to the hospital, it was pouring with blood – they took me straight in for tests – they came back saying I had MRSA.’
Angelica says she stayed in hospital for five days in Sweden before being sent home to wait for an emergency appointment with a plastic surgeon to remove the implant.
She claims she was required to wear a special bra and lie down to stop the implant from falling out.
She said: ‘Every step I took the hole in my breast got bigger – I was bedbound for two weeks whilst I waited for the removal.
‘A plastic surgeon removed the implant for free out as a gesture of goodwill.
‘I felt better as soon as it was out – the implant was covered in a brown liquid from the infection.’
The right implant was removed on December 2 [2019] and the left was removed January 7.
Angelica had her first boob job four years ago in Sweden but after giving birth to her twins Milan and Tristan, 18 months, she wanted a ‘mummy makeover’.
After seeing multiple celebrities promote the clinic and reading positive reviews, she opted to go ahead with the surgery that would cost £9300 [Euro 11,000] less than surgery in her hometown.
She said: ‘I found the clinic in Turkey through Instagram; I had seen a lot of celebrities promoting it so I trusted them and thought it must be good.
‘All of the reviews online were great – I later discovered this is because they ask you to write a review whilst you are in the clinic – they obviously delete the bad ones.
‘I initially went to the clinic for a breast uplift, volume added to my bum, loose skin removed from carrying the twins and my abdominal muscles tightened.
‘None of these things were achieved, I looked the same, so I complained, and they offered me a free revision.
‘I assumed the uplift was unsuccessful due to the weight of the implants so the second time round, I got for implants which were half the size and an uplift.
‘I was picked up from the airport and taken straight to the hospital – I didn’t even get chance to drop my luggage off nor shower.
‘Within ten minutes, I was getting ready for surgery – I felt very uneasy.’
Angelica is now a size B breast cup after her implants have been removed and claims she is still dealing with the aftermath of her plastic surgery abroad.
She adds: ‘MRSA is resistant to many antibiotics – I have become house bound and unable to look after my children due to the bacteria.
‘I have been through a horrific ordeal and the surgery are not taking responsibility for their actions – I have been blocked on WhatsApp and Instagram by them.
‘I want to save lives by sharing my story and prevent this from happening in the future.
‘The MRSA is still in my system and it will be until the wounds clear up.
‘I went under the knife to get my body back in shape for bikini competitions but now I regret it more than ever.’
