Nowadays just about everyone is seeking a bigger booty. But instead of lunges and squats, many women are opting to go the route of plastic surgery.
There are many professionals around who will plump up your derriere for a pretty penny, but many women opt to get the hook up on their procedures in hotel rooms and private residences.
April Brown chose the latter and it almost ruined her life. Brown, once a successful cosmetologist and fashion designer, received silicone injections in her buttocks, and now she lives as a double amputee.
“I got the butt implants five years ago,” said Brown. “For five years, I lived in pain. Excruciating pain.”
Brown, a mother of two, has had to have parts of all her four limbs cut off to save her life, after the unlicensed cosmetic procedures led to life-threatening infections.
Details + video below…
Brown refused to identify the unlicensed practitioner who injected her “A”zz with silicone, however she admits it was her own lack of self-esteem that’s mostly to blame.
“They call it butt injections,” she says. “These things are done at pumping parties. They call it medical grade silicone but a lot of it is industrial grade silicone.”
Brown’s case resembles many other recent incidents. But Brown feels she’s a survivor, empowered by the words of loved ones who feared she would die.
Unfortunately for Brown, it was at a hospital, where she picked up an infection. By last year, doctors informed her that she would have to undergo the amputations of both hands and feet in order to save her life.
Brown remains inspired even with the loss of her limbs. Now she feels that her new calling in life is as a motivational speaker, where she hopes to encourage other woman to feel better about themselves.
“We don’t validate each other,” she says. “We really don’t know how our friends feel about us, unless we have very expressive friends.” (source)
Good for her! It’s great that shes keeping a positive attitude after making such a dumb decision. Maybe Brown’s experience will prevent others from following the same path.
Am I the only one who wonders what all these procedures will look like 10 years from now?

Wow…
I always wonder
phat ass..no legs..terrible combination
case here in Baltimore- the silicone seeped into a young ladies lungs. very sad, all for a bigger azz.
Joy…lmao
lmao @Joy
lol crazy rt
Low Self Esteem + Societies standard of beauty = nuthin good
It is so sad that women will risk their lives to look a certain way. Be happy with what God gave you. So what if you do not have a big butt or big breast, work with what you got. Even people who go to real doctors have had complications from cosmetic surgery, and some have even died. What is the purpose of having a big butt when it could send you too a coffin where no one will see it anyway.
Why would anyone want to loook like one of those half man, half horse thingys.
nicki manaj gon be a nub….w/ azz doe
Why someone wants to go around with some large behind is beyond me. There is nothing attractive about having a large behind bigger than the other parts of your body.
Low Self Esteem + using an unlicensed plastic surgeon = Death (pretty much)
It ain’t worth it. As a dude, I never saw the point of it. I know a lot of guys that don’t find it attractive, and we can see right through it for the most part.
That’s great D.A., but the sad reality is that for every guy like you who likes a natural, God given body, there are 5 other dudes who will push you over to get to the Nicki Minaj type body. Society puts a TON of pressure on women.
Is it really worth it!?!?!?……THe things women would do to get a man….smh….do 50 squats for 5 days u will get the same effect.
First of all love yourself, not everyone is dealt a good hand. Secondly.. leran to work with what you have, and trust me you will love it. Third, when it’s not natural it just looks stupid!!!
Many people will ignore this, but have some confidence about yourself, and leave that other stuff alone!!!
If you truly believe in God, then you believe we are created in his image which INCLUDES physically..stop altering yourself and be happy with what you do have! People go after the wants instead of focusing on the needs..This woman had a career, was able to wake up everyday and walk and function but that wasn’t good enough now look, I hope and pray people take heed to this..Sometime you literally have to fall on your head before you wake up
PREACH.
I really feel bad for her, but common sense would tell you to go to a Certified Plastic Surgeon! I would never go to a "Pumping Party" to get Butt Injections, that just does not sit well with me. I have a couple of friends who opted to save their money and go the plastic surgeon route and they are fine! Just don’t try to take shortcuts for expensive procedures, because you usually end up maimed. I wish her the best of luck and I’m glad she is using her mishap to try to reach out to other girls!
This is a sad shame, man. I pray that this lady finds peace and we learn to love our God made butts.Leave well enough alone, because as you can see, it will cost you in the long run.
That shizzle looks a hot mess RIGHT NOW. In ten years butt implants will look like what old breast implants look like now. Just picture: old woman, blue hair, housecoat on, with a Trina ass! Ugh. And that’s for those who had it put in "right".
I.Will.Pass.Thank.You.
100% KORRECT!! Women have gone completely KRAZY to impress a man.And even more..to impress jobless (or employed but wouldn’t spend a dime on YO’azz) men who won’t pull their pants up over their azz and can’t understand why NOBODY will hire them! These "Big Azzez" are a faze just like blue and green contacts, plate sized errings and baby hair. The only one benefiting from this buffoonery is toilet paper companies. A roll a day, and their azzez STILL can’t be clean.
@Versatile, you couldn’t have said that any better. Like I said, they think that mess is cute and 60 years later it’s going to look even worse.
I’m happy with what I have and satisfied/grateful with everything I don’t. I thank my creator for the good and the bad times,because I’m alive to make necessary changes on my own & for those who aren’t ever satisfied with life and forever trying to keep up with the Jones’s just try to remember your childhood when everything was simple. It was a happier time for us all now everything is so damn superficial Botox,lip fillers,breast implants,silicone buts and a host of other artificial plastic surgery treatments will catch up to you later on and make you very,very ill I bet this woman would give her arms and legs to rethink her decisions on Vanity….Opps,but she already has hasn’t she??
Ouch! That last sentence was a doozie
Damn sista…that was cold.
No one thinks lateraly anymore…they live for the moment. You are not 20 forever. Skin is not taunt forever.
@locktress tell me about, I have three children in the spam of sixteen years, none were under 10 pounds. I look at my tummy and think about how I looked before starting a family, then I throw on the old girdle. I can afford to have a tummy tuck, but the risks are to great, and my girdle works just fine!!!
I will NEVER EVER complain about wishing I didn’t have a big ass and breasts ever again. Things like this definitely can put your thinking into perspective.
hummm wonder what these boo-tays gone look like in ten years. just dragging on the floor. thud thud. somebody better make a butt shot removal service, its sure to be on the come up within the next ten years
Gonns look like Kim k with the "loaded diaper" look. Gravity is a law.
This big booty stuff is starting to look ridiculous. It’s not that serious ladies.
And it STINKS!!!…Literally!
Is it really that serious? OMG!
Neither one of these azzes look real or attractive.
So sad! It aint even worth it. Work with what you got and leave it alone.
wow
These things (butt injections) are what breast implants were/are to white women… They’re in the beginning stages, but this will get better and become more and more popular amongst black women especially, b/c it seems like nowadays, its not enough to have a "regular" big booty (J.Lo, Beyonce, Janet Jackson)…bishes want E.T. Booties (Blacc Chyna, Lola Monroe, Nicki Minaj) WHAT’S THE WORLD COMING TO? #DEADEND 2012.
Well when you got to people who are not PROFESSIONAL this is what happens. Notice she said she went to some back alley doctor. Trina, Lil Kim, Kim Kardashyknees have all had ass injections for YEARS and have NEVER had complications. There is nothing wrong with surgical enhancements if thats whats going to make you more confident, but don’t pay somebody 1200 to do it and fuck you up if you can go to a doctor and have it done for 5000 and stay healthy… and don’t over do it!
Somebody best tell Jose-line to het hers checked out!
WOW!!! These people need to stop trying to BUILD their bodies… Work with what you have… If you don’t like it tone it up!!!
O_o I’m tired of this mess I understand enhancers but come on
Squats and lunges. Brisk walks/jogging. Cornbread…rice/beans. A good backstroke from the right dude. I’m just here to help.
I’ve said this for years and years!! A big behind doesn’t equate to nothing, but trouble. So the fuck what, you have a big ass — WHO CARES!!
I hope Nicki Minaj gets this piece of infoi!
Crazy to be so Lazy….do the exercises
Crazy
Saw her story in Essence Magazine, think it was the October issue.
Wow….
I just don’t understand the literal stupidity involved with undergoing this procedure. Who in the hell lets someone inject ANY form of silicone into their body??? It poisons the bloodstream and will kill you. Silicone breast implants (which caused many an illness and some deaths) were encased in a saline bag so that the silicone would not come in contact with the body until they sprang a leak. Besides that, who gets a medical procedure done in a hotel room? I thought anybody who started smoking crack after 1985 was stupid, but this is ridiculous!
nick balaa
Who said nicki minaj body look good!? That stuff looks nasty and disproportionate. Why you think she never shows in in the videos. Her butt is so big and the rest of her body is so small. What ever she had done to her face and butt she should have undone.
Simple solution to all this;get into shape, drop down to a good size, do a lot of sit ups, squats and other butt exercises to get those areas toned.
At the end of the day, just work with what you have and make the most of it.
