A woman mentioned the claims that got her breasts three sizes bigger after she had ruined £ 7,382 on her belly – and apparently they are still growing.
Elaina St James fortunately wore a DD cup prior to her operation, which was aimed at fat cells to give her a more tight appearance.

But the 58-year-old was stunned when she noticed an unexpected side effect.
In the months after the “failed” surgery – so that her stomach looked “lumpy” – Elaina’s chest raised so much that the content maker was forced to revise her lingerie wardrobe to accommodate the changes.
The Cougar is now a 36G cup size – but this can increase further.
“I thought I was going crazy in the beginning,” said Elaina, who has 430,000 Instagram followers @Elainastjames.
“I asked my doctor if it was possible that the liposuction made sure my breasts grew.
“I could not think of what else it could be, because I had not made any major changes to my lifestyle.
“I was shocked when he immediately confirmed my suspicions.
“The doctor explained that when fat cells are removed during liposuction, the body sometimes compensates by blowing them up in other areas.
“Apparently it is not that unusual.
“I couldn’t believe it.
“I was blessed with of course big breasts, so it was not an area that I had ever wanted to improve.
“I had no idea that this was even possible.”
A 2007 study shared in the National Library of Medicine of the US showed that almost half (48%) of the participants reported an increase in their breast size after liposuction of the abdominal wall.
Elaina, from the Midwest but currently lives in North Carolina, chose to go under the knife after years of feeling self -conscious about her stomach.

She said: “I started in this industry as an older woman, so I always had a ‘mom bid’ – but I just didn’t feel comfortable to stand in front of the camera with my stomach out.
“Diet and exercise made no difference in terms to show it, so I started investigating liposuction.”
Elaina explored different options before he chose to deal with a large, national provider with “great assessments”.
But she felt apparent with the completed look.
A few months later she looked at options to revise the lipo.
That is when she saw the bizarre weight fluctuation on her chest.

Elaina said: “I didn’t get anywhere else, but I noticed that my bras became too tight.

“I was overcrowded.
Women’s bodies fluctuate all the time, so it took a while before I could register the change

“I knew it was weird, but I was so busy moving and being a mother that I didn’t think too much about it.”
More self-conscious than ever, once she was located in her new house, Elaina paid another $ 10,000 to get liposuction with a second doctor in February 2025-16 months after her first procedure.
This same doctor confirmed that the first procedure had activated its breasts to grow.
Elaina said: ‘Since then they have not stopped growing.
“It’s crazy.
“I now wear a 36G -BEHA and with larger cups you have to pay more for the brands that take care of them – so it is expensive that you have to get a whole new set.
Are breasts getting bigger after liposuction?
Plastic and aesthetic surgeon Dr. Leonard Josipovic shared that it is not uncommon for breasts to look bigger after lipo.
It is not as strange when it sounds. When you have liposuction, fat cells in the treated area, such as the stomach, are permanently removed. But your body still has fat cells in other places. If you arrive after the procedure, those remaining fat cells can become larger.
Because the treated area now has fewer fat cells, weight gain can appear more in other parts of the body, such as the back, upper arms, the face or even the breasts.
Breasts consist of both gland tissue and fat. The amount of glandular tissue is influenced by hormones, age and genetics, while the fat content can change, depending on your overall body composition. So when someone arrives after lipo, it is quite possible that part of that fat is stored in the breasts, making them look fuller. It is not that fat has been moved physically from one place to another, it is just that your body now stores fat differently.
Liposuction is a contour procedure, no weight loss treatment. If someone keeps his weight stable and keeps a healthy lifestyle after the operation, fat will not suddenly shift to foreign places.
But if the weight is extracted, it will appear in areas that have not been treated – and that can include the breasts, says Dr. Leonard Josipovic.
“It took me $ 450 to get new everyday bras that match my new size.
“I hope I don’t grow much anymore, because it comes to a point when breasts get too big to manage.”
Although she is not excitedly excited with the unexpected side effect, the new look of Elaina has proved to be good for business.
She said: “It’s not the worst in the world to have big breasts – especially in my work.
“Men love it.

“Some of my fans even saw the increase before I did.
“Women’s bodies fluctuate all the time, so it took a while before I could register the change.
“I started to get comments that my breasts looked bigger.
“I thought it was alone because my stomach was thinner and gave the illusion of a larger breast – but they turned out to be right.”
Although Elaina appreciates that a “natural aesthetics”, she is satisfied with her new look – including the unexpected changes.
She added: “There is a lot of pressure to look good for women at any age and I am completely for it if you want to tackle uncertainties.
“I remember comments that I had to do some sit-ups, put down the pizza or even go on Ozempic before you have liposuction.
“I now really have faith in my body and I also embrace my new breasts.
“Although I was not going to get a boob job, I certainly don’t complain!”
What are the risks to get surgery abroad?
It is important to do your research if you are considering keeping cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you have to weigh potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be that high.
No surgery is risk -free. Complications can occur after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after surgery in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for offering follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not offer follow-up treatment, or they may not give it to the same standard as in the UK.
They may also have no care provider in the UK that you can visit if you have problems.
