“My Brazilian Bum Lift Nearly Killed Me” | This Morning

Desperate for a more shapely bottom, Bonnie-Louise Cooper decided that a liquid Brazilian Bum lift was the answer to her prayers. Craving the confidence that a more curvaceous derriere would give her, Bonnie-Louise paid £1500 to have 500mls of filler injected into her bottom during her lunch break. Just hours after the procedure, however, Bonnie-Louise was left fighting for her life after sepsis ravaged her body. She joins us today alongside Dr Zoe to tell her story and highlight the dangers of these so-called lunchtime 'tweakments'.

Why is everyone being so rude about this poor woman. It’s her body, her choice, not only has she lost her money, she had her life at risk, and is now talking to prevent others from her suffering… so much for “be kind”. She’s done nothing wrong, she’s not lied nor stolen nor killed someone ffs!! So brave of her to speak out to help others!!

[@youtubemusic8709]

She’s not helping others! Others have contacted her and she blocked them!! She speaking for fame & she gets paid to do the interviews! She also works as a non medic pumping filler into other people’s faces! She had it done to her yet she’s doing it to others for cash disgraceful!!!!

[@SarahCoxWrites]

No-one talks about the amount of pressure women are put under to be svelte and chiselled and perfect (whatever that means). Women just cannot win - we are constantly made to feel like our bodies and the way we look isn't good enough, no matter what we do to them. Even Ben was saying "go to the gym". Why isn't anyone saying, you know what, Bonnie, you are amazing as you are? If you want to do this then fine, but just know you are amazing as you are. More and more women feel the need to do this kind of thing and increasingly put themselves at risk, whilst business cash in on our insecurities. Well done Bonnie for being brave enough to come out about this procedure.

[@JenniferPetrie-x5o]

Erm Ben did not say “go to the gym”. He stated what she had already tried before getting filler.

[@MrDavfit]

you should go to the gym its more than shape its health.!

[@TaxingIsThieving]

She clearly has pretty features, underneath all the slap. It seems to be good looking girls who have been praised all their life, trying to get the next step up. Not so much a brave appearance as a paid one for yet more attention.

[@suzziek2999]

Please only speak for some women. Women like that allow guys to tell them how to look because they don’t love themselves. If you love yourself it doesn’t matter who tells you to do what, you won’t do it because you know your worth more than just to be used for your looks/body.

[@CatsandJP]

Absolutely no sympathy for vanity or self inflicted wounds….that is no excuse to mutilate yourself or your body to gain confidence..it’s a state of mind..and this is another reason to teach kids at a young age to be comfortable in “their” own skin…..and not to be……confused with essential cosmetic surgery.

[@TJRJ158]

So hilarious and she sits there with a face full of Botox 😂😂

[@ryanwilliams985]

Why so much clickbait? She did not have a BBL. She had a treatment that’s available legally by non professionals at several beauty salons in every town.

[@balibelle63]

Price of vanity

[@cheekytooth]

People can be mean in comments but luckily she's safe and in recovery. Whilst i personally am against these types of thing im not heartless and still have compassion for those who feel their not enough due to comparing themselves to others and seeing these type procedures as an option. Hopefully this horrendous experience will push her to find self love. If you can't love yourself for being naturally you how can you expect others to? Positive vibes from me to all who reads ✨️✨️✨️

[@ghfamghgam1172]

500ml of filler is a terrible idea

[@rekhayads1772]

[@louievanstone1991]

We shouldn’t be focusing on this ladies vanity. Can you blame her when we’re being bombarded by this s*** every bleedin day. We should be focusing on bad practice which nearly killed a woman. Y’all heartless. And also Ben was irritating in this. He could have opened up the discussion of self love rather than suggesting other means of achieving the feat of attaining someone else’s body shape.

[@ArranVid]

Nope, I only agree with you on the Ben point.

[@annecaru9208]

HOW IS THAT,

[@URFUTUREUK]

Im not gunna say shes gorgeous. She looks chiselled but im wondering how natural she is.

[@C_Xx7xX]

Well from what is visible... teeth are fake, lashes, eyebrows, botox, filler, extensions, lots of makeup. So not very natural but yes she's pretty

[@dot1spot]

She’s absolutely beautiful!! The problem is unrealistic expectations we put on ourselves and social media contributes to that. No matter how beautiful you are looking at images that are filtered, photoshopped etc…will make anyone feel insecure. I’m 49 and have never been as beautiful as her ever in my 20’s. I wish I could look like that after having going through childbirth. I think our heads have messed up our priorities. I’m glad she’s going to be ok.

[@katiemould6970]

For those of you who are so quick to judge really need to try being more empathetic. It may seem extreme, silly or shallow but insecurities while seemingly trivial can lead people to doing seemingly ‘crazy’ things to feel better about themselves. I’ve had body dysmorphia for over 10 years, and your mind can take you to some really dark places.
