A mother-of-two claims she nearly died after undergoing two botched breast augmentations in Turkey.
Holly McCulloch, 28, from Greasby, Wirral, always felt down about her flat chest, particularly as she got older.
She booked herself into an Istanbul clinic last July after seeing an Instagram advert charging just £2,700 for a five-day, all-inclusive stay.
But when she arrived in August, Ms McCulloch was shocked to discover the 'amazing villa' was rundown, with the nurses speaking to her via Google translate.
After requesting G-cup implants, she woke in agony and immediately asked them to be removed because her 'chest was on fire'.
She returned in January to get more natural D-cup implants fitted and was initially thrilled with the results. However, Ms McCulloch soon had 'green gung' coming out of chest, as well as a black blister that left a 'huge hole'.
Back in the UK the implant began to smell like 'rotten meat', with doctors warning it had to be removed immediately after the skin around it 'died' and could potentially kill her. This has left Ms McCulloch with a 'wonky' B-cup and D-cup chest.

When she arrived back in the UK after her second surgery, Ms McCulloch had 'green gung' coming out of chest, as well as a black blister (pictured) that left a 'huge hole'. She claims it smelt like 'rotten meat' and even ripped, exposing her implant, while she dressed her son Brad
Speaking of why she opted for the procedure, Ms McCulloch said: 'I've been self-conscious about my boobs, it's something that began to really bring me down as I got older.
'When I saw the ad pop up on Instagram I thought it looked amazing.
'There were pictures of this lovely villa and loads of gorgeous girls who had had work done there.
'There were even a few celebs and I thought it couldn't be dodgy if high profile people were choosing it.'
Ms McCulloch was seduced by the cheap deal, which was considerably less expensive than the £3,000-to-£7,000 most pay in the UK. This also rarely includes the cost of consultations and follow-up care.
She flew from Manchester to Istanbul on August 17 after exchanging Whatsapp messages with the clinic.
'I thought it was a bit weird because it didn't seem very official, but I never paid a penny until I got there so that reassured me,' Ms McCulloch said.
'There was a phone call at one point with a man with a London accent and that put any worries I had to rest.'
After being picked up at the airport, Ms McCulloch was immediately disappointed when the clinic did not meet her expectations.
'It definitely needed a lick of paint, but it wasn't bad enough to put me off,' she said.
'After I'd gone up and settled into my room the coordinator came to see me and get payment - £2,700.
'He just said don't eat after 12pm and that someone would come and collect me at 7am the next day to take me and the other girls to meet the doctor.'
Feeling nervous, Ms McCulloch waited five hours for what she believed was a consultation.
'It was a lot less formal than I'd expected,' she said. 'I just had to take my top off and tell them what I wanted.
'I just said "big boobs" and he gave me a high-five - I thought it was bizarre, I was still topless! I then said the cup size I wanted - G - and that was that.'

Breast-implant removal surgery is regarded as a low priority and is not generally paid for by the NHS.
NHS England will typically pay if patients are experiencing the following:
Breast disease, which causes lumps and bumps Recurrent infections Hardening of scar tissue with severe pain Hardening of scar tissue that affects medical imaging Rupturing of silicon gel-filled implantsPatients with PIP implants should contact their GP or the private clinic that fitted them.
PIP implants were withdrawn from the UK in 2010 after it was discovered they were fraudulently manufactured with unapproved silicone gel that made them up to six times more likely to split.
Ruptured breast implants have no long-term health risks but could cause pain, tenderness, redness and a change in breast shape.
Some private clinics have agreed to remove PIP implants free of charge if medically necessary.

Ms McCulloch claims she felt too 'intimated' to even question why the medics were not showing her the size of the implants.
'I was anxious because it all felt strange and rushed, but I had made my decision and at the end of the day, more than anything I was just so excited,' she said.
'The doctor came to get me four hours later with the trolley and wheeled me down.
'The first time I really started to feel
