PHOTO: Illegal Buttock Injections Leave Woman With No Legs
Teased by her family and friends
about her flat “pancake” booty, Apryl Michelle Brown had always been insecure
about her backside. Once she got enough money, she told herself, she’d buy
herself a better one.
“I didn’t know if I wanted to
look like Janet Jackson or J. Lo,” the Los Angeles cosmetologist, 46, says in
an exclusive interview featured in the November issue of ESSENCE magazine.
“I just wanted a new, bigger
booty.” Tragically, her quest for curves cost her all her limbs and almost her
life. In 2004, Brown says she paid a “pumper,” an unlicensed person, to inject
industrial-grade silicone into her buttocks.
Brown can’t recall how much the
woman actually charged — maybe $500, maybe $1,000 — but over time, she says,
the area became intensely irritated and painful, and the skin blackened. By
early 2006 she says the silicone had hardened, causing severe pain and
infection, ultimately requiring her to have lifesaving amputation of her limbs
last year.
Now adjusting to her new life
with prosthetics, Brown shares her story — and her warning for others tempted
to check out “pumping parties” — with writer Amy Elisa Keith in ESSENCE. “I was
left here for a purpose,” she says. “I have to get the word out so that nobody
else makes this choice.”
