But the day after the 40-minute procedure, which involves injecting fillers into the buttocks to make them plumper, Bonnie, 27, who has a fiveyear-old son, was screaming in agony.

She said: "I was delirious, I was crying and could not stand or sit. I was vomiting. My sister called for an ambulance. The paramedics arrived quickly.

"They did observations and said it was obviously some sort of infection.

"The area was on fire. They measured a 3cm by 3cm lump on the incision site. They tried to stand me up to get in the ambulance but I collapsed.

My sister thought I was going to die."

SERIOUS

The next thing she remembers is waking up in an ambulance with blue lights flashing. She said: "I woke up on my front with vomit all over me.

"I arrived at the hospital. There was a massive queue in A&E and there was a nurse waiting for me and they wheeled me into my own room. You know it's serious when you're skipping the queue in A&E.

"I was really poorly, the pain overrides everything and you can't think straight. I was crying in pain.

"The doctors came into the room and told me, 'You could die within the hour. They came in, six of them, putting IV drips in both arms.
