Elizabeth Starr fears her now illegal  boob job will kill her after her breasts ballooned to an O cup



An adult film star fears her banned breast implants will kill her after her breasts ballooned to an O cup.
Elizabeth Starr had now-illegal 'string' implants 15 years ago to boost her career - but says her life has been ruined by her super-sized chest.
Doctors have recommended she face a double mastectomy rather than live with her potentially fatal implants.
But the mother-of-two, who has endured a staggering 63 corrective procedures, says she can't face more surgery despite being at risk from blood clots and infection as it would mean the end of her career.
The  43-year-old glamour model whose breasts are still growing, said: 'I was basically the victim of an experiment and I've been paying the price for it ever since.
'Back then I had a family to support and I knew getting bigger boobs would boost my career prospects.
'Now I live day to day worrying I might be struck down by infections or blood clots - it's ruined my life.'
Ms Starr, from Los Angeles, California, was already a 32F when she opted for the polypropylene string implants in 1999.
The £3,000 procedure involved inserting synthetic string into the breasts to stimulate fluid production and growth.
But just a few days after the operation she began suffering complications.
Ms Starr, said: 'My right breast was bright red and swollen and I felt weak and shaky.
'The surgeon cut some tissue away from the breast which he thought might be infected.
'But the infection gradually ate a hole in my right breast the size of a 10-pence piece.
'The pain was unbearable.'
Elizabeth had the string implant removed from her right breast, however, the left one was already too embedded to be taken out.
She said: 'The way the implants work is they continue to grow inside you and become enmeshed in the breast tissue.
 
'Even now I have some residual string in my right breast - I don't think I'll ever be free of it all.
'I was lied to and told the operation had been approved by the medical authority, but it hadn't.'

Over the next 14 years Elizabeth spent a staggering £200,000 on reconstructive operations to put right damage from the surgery.
She said: 'Over the years I've had lots of implants put in and taken out to make my right breast the same size as my left.
'The tissue in my right breast was so badly damaged that there was almost nothing left.
'One operation involved taking a muscle from my back to replace damaged tissue in my right breast.
'I've spent time recovering in oxygen tents and almost died three times.'
Now Elizabeth has a saline implant containing four litres of liquid in her right breast, to match the breast fluid in her left.

But the risk of further complications casts a shadow over her future health.
She said: 'There is so much scar tissue in my breasts it's affecting the blood flow to the body and could cause a fatal blood clot.
'I'm a ticking time bomb because anything could happen to me - I'm so scared.'
Elizabeth already had 38F breast before opting for the string implants.
And the single mother to Jason, 23, and Nicholas, 20, hopes her story will act as a warning to women wanting to copy her look.
She said: 'If you are going to attempt to try to become as busty as I am you are putting yourself at extreme risk.
'You have to know what you are getting yourself into because it will change your life forever.

'I'm in constant pain - bending down and getting dressed are difficult because my back hurts from the weight of my breasts.'
She says the remaining string implant is causing fluid to leak into both breasts making them to balloon.
For the last eight years she has been cared for by Dr Alexander Sinclair, an expert in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Dr Sinclair said: 'Over the years I've seen cases of polypropylene string implants but I've never seen a case quite like Elizabeth's - her future is uncertain.
'I presented her case at the local medical society and the sentiment was she needed a double mastectomy.'
However, the years of operations have decimated Elizabeth's breast tissue, and she is unwilling to face more risky surgery.
She said: 'I have one option other than to live like this and that is to face a mastectomy.
'But after 63 procedures on my right breast and fighting to keep my career and my breast, I honestly don't think that I could.
'A mastectomy would take away my livelihood and I don't know what else I would do.'
'It's hard when you have been a victim of something and it's even harder when you choose a path in life where people might look down on you and think, 'she deserved it'.
'But I wouldn't wish this on anyone and I hope my story will act as a warning.'

Coronation Street star Bill Roache 'Ken Barlow' arrives at court to face trial on child sex charges




The 81-year-old soap star is accused of two counts of raping a 15-year-old in 1967 and five indecent assaults involving four girls aged between 11 or 12 and 16, allegedly committed between 1965 and 1968. Roache, who has played Ken Barlow since its first episode in 1960, walked into Preston Crown Court today with his children Linus, James and Verity, led by a team of security guards.

When charged with rape, Roache - who plays Ken Barlow in the ITV1 show - issued a statement in which he said he was 'astounded and deeply horrified' by the accusations.

He said: 'I strenuously deny the allegations and will now focus my full attention on fighting to preserve my innocence in the challenging times ahead.

'I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all those people who have offered me their support and good wishes at this difficult time.'

Roache later formally pleaded not guilty to the seven counts he faces.

The world's longest-serving soap actor has not appeared in the programme while the legal proceedings are ongoing.

He has been on bail since his arrest with various conditions including residence, no direct unsupervised contact with anyone under 16 and not to approach named witnesses.

The trial at Preston Crown Court is scheduled to last up to four weeks.

ALCHOHOLISM: 35 Yr Mum who drank 24 cans and seven pints a day begs to die at home


Beverley Pickorer's shocking appearance shows the devastating damage years of chronic alcohol abuse have taken as she is slowly dying from liver disease


Dying: Beverley's body has been ravaged by alcohol abuse(Ross Parry)


Her frail body destroyed by years of alcohol abuse, dying Beverley ­Pickorer lies trapped in her care home bed, unable to move at the age of just 35.

The jaundiced mum-of-four has cirrhosis of the liver, rotten teeth and cannot speak or feed herself after a decade of heavy drinking.

At her worst she would down 24 cans of lager a day plus seven pints in the pub and a bottle of perry cider.

Now she faces certain death her partner of six years, Anthony Howard, is forced to watch her fading away. She has spent the last eight months receiving palliative care in a home where most patients are pensioners.

Loyal Anthony, 31, said: “I’ve been looking after my partner for five-and-a-half years, and she’s constantly
been in and out of hospital with liver cirrhosis.

“She’s the youngest person in this care home. All she can do every day now is stay in bed. The staff come and turn her every two hours.”

Anthony has released the heartbreaking pictures to warn other people of the devastating impact alcohol dependency can have.

He is also desperate to get Beverley out of the care home, so she can spend her final days at their house in Parson Cross, Sheffield.

Anthony said Beverley’s drinking problems started in her early 20s, during a series of troubled relationships. He said: “When I met her I took her drinking as part of her.

“It’s something I got used to. When she got up and had a can in her hand straight away, I got immune to it. To her it was like having a cup of tea.

"Beverley has four beautiful children, they are now aged six to 15, and they have all been taken into care because she can’t look after them.”

He said he was now fighting to get his own drink problems under control and called for more help for alcoholics: “I would not put all this on Beverley’s toes because I have had a problem with alcohol too. We would go to the pub together.

“I think the Government should do more to help alcoholics.

“They should fund more care homes that specialise in alcohol ­problems and alcohol misuse, to ­rehabilitate them and get them back into the community.

“I love Beverley to bits. She is my world. We are engaged and just waiting to get married.”

Speaking of his wish to get her home, he said: “It’s tragic. We made an agreement that when she dies she would die in my arms at home, but the NHS has said it would be too expensive to care for her at home.

“They would have to pay for one carer and a nurse. She’s on a syringe driver to stop her having seizures.

"But Beverley wants to die at home, I don’t think you can deny a person that.”

Kevin Clifford, chief nurse for NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group, said that he was unable to comment on individual patients.

But he added: “We have to consider the safest and most appropriate manner in which an individual’s needs can be met.

"It is always regrettable when we have to take a decision based on a patient’s safety which doesn’t meet the hopes of their family.

"But we work with the family and endeavour to offer care that is in the best interests of the patient and agreeable to the family.”

Every year about 4,000 people in the UK lose their lives to cirrhosis – scarring of the liver caused by continuous damage. A further 700 people with the condition are given liver transplants.

Early signs of the illness are a loss of appetite, nausea and itchy skin. In the later stages symptoms can include jaundice and vomiting of blood.

Cirrhosis cannot be cured but its progression can be slowed down by stopping drinking and losing weight.

According to NHS figures from 2001 to 2009, there were 400 deaths a year in people aged up to 39 where alcoholic liver disease was the underlying cause.

Matt McMullen, of the Sheffield Alcohol Support Service, said ­Beverley’s situation was “very sad”.

He added: “Unfortunately it is not unheard of for someone of such a young age to be experiencing such severe problems as a result of alcohol consumption.”
