What’s the real cost of a bottom like Blac’s?

Women in the UK are flocking to get their rears enhanced, with London-based surgeons reporting a 50 per cent rise in requests for bum lifts last year. And it’s the likes of Blac Chyna – one of the first celebs to pursue the “mega-bum” look – who have fuel

Reality star Sallie Axl is no R stranger to surgery, having had three nose jobs, two boob jobs and liposuctio­n, along with lip fillers and Botox. And after rising to fame on Big Brother in 2013, DJ Sallie took drastic action last month by undergoing an agonising £10,000 bum lift.

The 29 year old says the surgery was incredibly painful and she’s been left housebound and unable to sit down for two months while she recovers.

Revealing the results exclusivel­y to Closer, Sallie says she was desperate to recreate the dramatic curves of American model Blac Chyna, 29 – who is rumoured to have had bum implants to create her super-curvy backside.

Sallie says, “I love the bootylicio­us looks of Blac and the Kardashian­s – all the girls I know want to look like them! My Instagram feed is full of women with big bums – it’s all I look at. I hated my flat bum and I often got trolled about my boyish shape. I wanted to change the shape of my

whole body and get a bigger bum.”

In a bid to achieve a Blac-like behind, Sallie flew to Serene Clinic in Marbella, where surgeon Dr Aslani performed High Definition BBL surgery, in which liposuctio­n is used to harvest fat from the hips and inserted into the bottom along with implants.

HARVESTING FAT

In the months leading up to the op, Sallie was instructed to gain 2st so there was enough fat to harvest.

She says, “It’s the biggest surgery I’ve ever had. I had general anesthetic as well as an epidural, so it was scary. But I chose a good surgeon, so I wasn’t worried about infection. It was really painful when I woke up and I had to spend a week in bed on strong medication while nurses looked after me.

“I was bandaged all over and was bruised from my boobs to my knees. I had two bandage bottles draining the excess fluid from my bum. Plus, I wasn’t allowed to sit down for two months.

“After two weeks, I flew home. Now, it’s been a month, and the pain has mostly subsided. But it’s uncomforta­ble and I still can’t leave the house or drive – I’ll be housebound for a few more weeks.”

GOING EVEN BIGGER

She adds, “I have to either lay on my side or my stomach all the time – even when I eat, which gives you really bad indigestio­n and sores on your elbows. I lie face-down to sleep but when I wake up in the morning I look like Michael Jackson – my face is all lopsided as the filler in my cheeks has been pushed around.”

Sallie says her mother has been helping out around the house and looking after her daughter, Savannah-blu, 20 months, while she recuperate­s.

Worryingly, the star adds that despite the pain and risks associated with surgery, she wants to go bigger again as soon as she can.

She says, “I love it so much, it looks perfect and I look like a real woman now. I can’t wait to show it off in a skin-tight dress. But I’m not done. I’ve told my surgeon I want to go bigger and look like a cartoon – I don’t know how Chyna got hers so big so quickly, but I want to do the same and I’m hoping to have more surgery on my bottom next September.”
