No, this is not about the sister of the 3-boobed prostitute from Total Recall. 47-year-old Mary Alaimo is suing her plastic surgeon for $5 million over a botched breast augmentation that went so poorly that she “came out of that operation with essentially four breasts.”
According to Alaimo’s suit filing, her breasts now “appear flattened on the bottom with severe swells the size of a softball on top,” and that she suffers from “pain… disability, loss of self-esteem, humiliation and embarrassment.”
Even after undergoing two corrective procedures -the first with the original doctor- Alaimo purportedly suffered more scarring and “implants that slid downward, making her breasts appear even further deformed.”
In terms of a defense, the doctor’s lawyer said that Alaimo should have been more aware of the risks of plastic surgery before going under the knife.”Plastic surgery is trivialized,” He said. “But the reality is that plastic surgery is just that—surgery. There are no guarantees.”
Yes, there will always be risks associated with surgery. But four boobs even after two corrective surgeries? I don’t think he’s going to win this one.
