A woman was horrified to wake up with new boobs and a Brazilian butt lift from procedures she says she didn’t ask for.
Kimberly McCormick decided to go back to Mexico for a breast lift and skin removal after a successful surgery for weight-loss.
But the 65-year-old found herself with a whopper of a medical bill at $75,000 (£60,000) afterwards.

Kimberly says despite never asking, she woke up from surgery to discover she’d been given a breast augmentation and a Brazilian butt lift.
The Washington woman told NewsNation: “When I woke up my chest was really sore, and I just started bawling.”
Let’s chat boobs for a moment and make it clear how differently this situation went for the woman compared to what she’d been expecting.
So, Kimberly wanted a breast lift - which is where drooping tissue is raised and it’s more about the position of the boobs.
This is majorly different to what she ended up with as a breast augmentation makes them bigger.
But the woman was reportedly told she’d requested to have implants, asking for a full C set which she claims she ‘would never say, not ever’.
Kimberly was hoping for the surgeon to remove loose skin under her arms and on her legs but instead, had a Brazilian butt lift – you know, when fat from elsewhere on the body is used to make someone’s bum bigger.
“The leg lift, the arm lift, the breast lift, and the tummy tuck, everything was marked out and ready to go," she said.
"I went into surgery at four o'clock in the afternoon. And apparently I didn't come out of surgery until 1:30 in the morning."
Kimberly also says one of her lungs partially collapsed while she was under and that the room she was staying in was ‘filthy’.
Her daughter, Misty Ann, claims she was physically pushed away by security when she asked: “What happened to my mother?”
Misty explained: “I get to the door, and he pushes me hard and there is this cement ramp and I just go flying."
Kimberly said: “I was just afraid I was going to die right there, and she wouldn’t have known.”
And now the mum has been told it’ll cost her over £60,000 to repair the work done in Mexico.
She said: "I think I'm lucky that I'm here. I'm lucky the damage isn't any worse.
“However, I'm looking at another surgery because the implants they put in are so big.”
Kimberly has gone on to warn others to stay away from cut-price surgery, saying: "I don't care how enticing they make the offer, don't do it.
"Because the end result is not going to be something you are happy with."
