The influencer underwent three rounds of illegal bum shots at “black market pumping parties”, and now has a 59inch bum.
However, she now completely regrets the illegal procedures she got, and is determined to reverse them.
“At one point I wanted a bigger butt at any cost”, Courtney, from Miami, Florida told Truly.
“But now I realise it could cost me my life.”

“I may look like a circus freak, but I just want people to see me for me”, she said.
The surgery that Courtney needs to undergo to remove her bum injections is very complicated, and will set her back more than £14,000.
“There are a lot of risks involved, and I don’t even think doctors fully know the risk”, she said.
Due to the illegal injections, Courtney’s bum is now discoloured and saggy.
She is also constantly “stalked” by people fascinated by her behind, and receives a lot of hate online for her unusual physique.
Trolls have claimed her bum “looks like melted cheese”, and that she must have low self-esteem.
Courtney is now hoping to completely transform her image, and has even got herself a life coach.
“I’m ready to look like the girl next door”, she said.
As well as getting her bum injections removed, Courtney is aiming for a more conservative look, so as to be taken seriously as an author.
She has written a book about her story, to warn people about the dangers of cosmetic surgery.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT’S important to do your research if you’re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

“There are a lot of women who want cosmetic surgery because they do not like their bodies, and I just want to say ‘don’t do it.”
“I’ve made a lot of mistakes, and I’m looking to put all that behind me.”
