Danniella Westbrook looks close to tears at the beach after botched surgery she branded ‘a living nightmare’
DANNIELLA Westbrook looked heartbroken as she comes to terms with her botched surgery.
The TV star has spoken openly about her upset over her “nightmare” procedure in Turkey which has left her needing to return to England to get it corrected.
Soaking up the sun in Portgual where she now lives, Danniella looked tense as she tried to relax.
EastEnders’ star Danniella was spotted tucking into a packet of crisps on the beach.
Her hair was pulled back into a plait and she covered her face several times, looking distressed.
Wearing a baby pink bikini with sparkly straps, Danniella carried a Louis Vuitton handbag and wore a pair of oversized shades.
It comes after she said that she “can’t believe what’s been done to her” following surgery to rebuild her nose.
Sharing a photo of her face from months ago, Danniella captioned it: “Three months ago I looked like this and thought I looked awful. I’d give my world to look like this again…
“I can’t believe what’s been done to me with this surgery.”
The actress had hoped to have her nose rebuilt after it collapsed after years battling a cocaine addiction.
She has spoken out about her harrowing surgery experience after she was left with lumps of fluid under the skin, and temporarily lost her eyesight in one eye and thought she was going to ‘die’.
She explained to OK! Magazine: “It has been a living nightmare. I regret it so much. I just want to go back to England and see my family.”
Danniella also had a ‘hole’ in her head after the procedure.
“It wasn’t until I was washing my hair that I realised the stitches had come undone and I had an open wound,” she added.
“I literally have a hole on the side of my head. It’s about an inch long. I could actually put my finger in the hole, which was awful.”
She said that they put 200 threads in her nose in a bid to straighten it, but said that the procedure failed.
Danniella said that she’s now going to return to Liverpool to get her nose fixed, explaining that surgeons need to rebuild the bridge in her mouth and build up the front of her nose.
They also took some fat out of her back, sides and stomach and have pumped it into her face to make it more symmetrical.
She explained that she thinks they took “too much” fatty tissue from her stomach and she’s now “lost her six-pack”.
Danniella said that her stomach is “saggy” and it looks like she’s lost a substantial amount of weight, leaving her with excess skin.
The star is devastated as she planned on being in “the best shape of her life” for her 50th birthday.
