Hey there, gorgeous readers! Let’s dive into a story that’s equal parts shocking and heartbreaking. Australian OnlyFans sensation Kayla Jade, at just 30 years old, recently spilled the tea on a Brazilian butt lift (BBL) procedure in Turkey that nearly cost her everything. She’s baring it all - not just on her platform, but in raw, emotional interviews and on her podcast, 'Storytime.'
Back when funds were tight, Kayla heard whispers of Turkey being the go-to spot for affordable cosmetic surgeries with rave reviews. 'I didn’t have a lot of money, and everyone was saying Turkey was amazing for this stuff,' she shared with News.com.au on June 17. So, with dreams of filling in her hip dips - a longtime insecurity - she packed her bags and took a leap of faith.
What seemed like a budget-friendly beauty fix quickly spiraled into something out of a horror movie. Stick with us, because Kayla’s story is a wild ride you need to hear.
After doing her homework and picking a clinic with 'amazing' reviews, Kayla thought she was in safe hands. But the red flags started waving even before the surgery. 'I waited an hour at the hospital, and no doctor showed up,' she revealed on her June 4 podcast episode. Nurses scrambled to find him, leaving her anxious as the procedure loomed the next morning.
When she finally met the doctor at his clinic for a pre-op consult, his words were anything but reassuring. He told her she didn’t have enough fat for the results she wanted - despite her efforts to gain weight for the procedure. 'I felt like he was just lowering my expectations or planning to cut corners,' Kayla confessed, though she still went ahead, hoping for the best.
'I was paralyzed on that table, unable to move, but I could feel every single thing - it was pure torture,' Kayla shared, her voice trembling as she recalled the traumatic experience.
The surgery itself? A literal nightmare. Kayla described feeling everything during the procedure - the burning sensation of fat being sucked out with metal rods, despite being under anesthesia. 'I was paralyzed but fully aware of the pain. It was the most traumatic thing I’ve ever been through,' she admitted. Can you even imagine, babes?
Things didn’t get better post-op. Waking up in recovery, Kayla was in excruciating pain, vomiting blood, shaking uncontrollably, and crying out in agony. 'My body was in shock. I thought I was going to die,' she said. The medical staff offered no clear answers, leaving her to 'just survive' in a haze of fear and suffering.
Discharged the next day to a hotel, Kayla’s horror continued as she swelled up 'like a balloon' with uneven fat removal. 'It looked like they took random chunks out of my back,' she recalled, questioning if it would ever improve. Spoiler: the fat transfer didn’t even last a few months.
Determined not to let this define her, Kayla sought a revision surgery the following year back home in Australia. Her new surgeon was appalled by her initial treatment in Turkey. 'He couldn’t believe they had me sitting on my butt right after surgery - you’re supposed to wake up on your stomach to avoid pressure,' she explained. Thankfully, this time, the results were stunning.
Now, Kayla’s sharing her story as a warning to others tempted by cheap overseas procedures. It’s a reminder, sweeties, that when it comes to your body, cutting corners can come at a terrifying cost. Her journey from nightmare to recovery is nothing short of inspiring - and a little flirty wink to her resilience!
