A UK influencer says she has spent more than $85,000 correcting a botched cosmetic procedure after her butt implants literally fell out following a gym session.
Chelsea Robinson, 29, had flown to the Dominican Republic in 2019 for butt augmentation surgery, believing it was the best place to have the procedure done. But her dream of achieving a curvier figure quickly turned into a nightmare.
Speaking on Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection on Britain’s ITV, Chelsea recalled the moment everything went wrong. “I went to the gym not long after I got back. I was squatting when my leg suddenly went all tingly… and I felt something come out,” she said. “My implant was hanging.”
Chelsea later learned that the implant had shifted out from under the muscle, requiring urgent corrective surgery that cost her more than $85,000. “If I knew all the ins and outs, I would have never got the bum implants. That was the worst journey I’ve ever been through, it wasn’t worth it,” she told Attwood. “It was horrendous.”
Despite the traumatic experience, the influencer and lingerie model says she hasn’t been completely discouraged from cosmetic surgery. Over the past decade, she has had four separate boob jobs—starting at age 18—spending just under $10,000 on her chest alone. Driven by intense competition in the modeling world, Chelsea admits she chased increasingly dramatic results. “I kind of fell into lingerie modelling, but I felt like I couldn’t compete. I had an A‑cup. No boobs, no bum. I wanted to look like everyone else.”
Her most recent breast implants each weighed nearly 1 kg. Altogether, she estimates she has spent more than $135,000 on cosmetic procedures over 11 years. Looking back at old photos during the interview, Chelsea became emotional. “I look so ugly there,” she said. “There’s just no definition. No boobs, no bum.”
Reflecting on her journey, she admitted the pull of cosmetic enhancement can be difficult to resist. “There’s always something else you need or want, something that could make you look better. It’s almost like an adrenaline rush. And I feel like that’s what you end up chasing.”
