By the time she graduated from school, Esmerelda’s breasts were already a triple D, causing her severe back pain.
“They were too much,” she told Botched.
Shortly after the operation, however, she noticed a strange odor coming from under her shirt.
“I feel like I know what a dead body smells like now,” she revealed.

“The skin smelled like it was dying,” her mother added.
For the next For six months, Esmerelda visited her surgeon up to three times a week so he could cut off the dead skin and attempt to repair her breasts.
She said that her surgeon never told her about the complications that could arise after the operation, and that all she had to do was apply Vaseline to her wounds.
Esmerelda now has to be extremely careful about what she wears, as her chest is covered in scars, and has to stuff her bra with sponges, as one of her breasts is now bigger than the other.
“It sucks that after the reduction I now have no breasts to fill bras,” she said.
“Never in a million years did I think this would be the outcome.
“I feel like I don’t deserve this.”
After looking at Esmerelda’s breasts, Dr. Paul Nassif said he felt “nauseated.”
“What the hell are we going to do to fix them?” he asked.
Five signs your plastic surgeon is unreliable
- No medical background: The practitioner has no medical qualifications or background.
- Limited training: They have received only minimal training, often only a one-day course.
- No Professional Association: The practitioner is not affiliated with a recognized professional organization.
- Cheap prices: They offer treatments at significantly lower prices than reputable professionals.
- No aftercare: There is a lack of good aftercare and follow-up support after treatment.
“This is the worst complication of breast reduction I have ever seen,” said Dr. Terry Dubrow.
After six months, Esmerelda’s wounds healed, but her nipples became hard and black.
Eventually they fell off, leaving her feeling desperate.
Her mother encouraged her to see another doctor for a second opinion, but she said she felt too embarrassed to show her breasts to anyone else.
When asked if she had visited her surgeon again, Esmerelda replied that this was not the case.
“They don’t care that I’m going through this,” she said.
“Right now I have no hope.”
