Model may need 60-inch butt amputated after illegal injections
A model who cosmetically enhanced her backside to 60-inches with illegal injections has been told by doctors she may have to have it amputated.
Courtney Barnes, also known as Miss Miami, says she is desperate to get her body back and went to see surgeons on E!’s reality show “Botched.”
But the 35-year-old, from Miami, Florida, was shocked when Dr. Terry Dubrow told her that in order to fix her botched backside, it might have to be amputated.
Stunned, she responds: “Amputate the whole booty? I’m not doing that. No, I’m not doing that. I’m not amputating butts.”
Barnes first had the risky fillers injected when she was just 22 and working as a dancer in a club.
“When I was in college I got a job dancing at a club. The first night, after really not making no money on the stage, there was a dancer who walked up to me and she told me that I needed some more booty if I wanted to make some more money,” she said. “That’s when I found out about the injections that gave me my big booty problems.
“So I made the appointment and she showed up at my hotel room. She told me she worked for a cosmetic surgeon and that’s how she was able to get her hands on what she needed. I asked her why she was doing it outside of the office and that’s when she told me the procedure was illegal. It’s foolish, definitely, but all I wanted was a big booty.”
After a year and three rounds of injections, Barnes says she noticed an improvement in her appearance — but she wanted more.
It was during her fourth round that her problems started, she said.
“This time I showed up at her house to have my injections, but after leaving my injections were beginning to leak out of my butt. My butt had so many dimples so I called the lady who injected me immediately. She told me it probably could be fixed with a few more shots and that’s how round number five got started,” Barnes explained.
“That round of injections, it seemed like it only made my butt bigger. She did not fill in the holes. Then number six happened. It made it a bit worse. There was nothing I could do to fix my butt. After six rounds of butt injections, I believe I spent about seven or eight thousand dollars to get me right here, with these big booty problems.”
Barnes decided to embrace what she had done and turned to social media where she posts sexy snaps to her nearly one million Instagram followers.
She has even written an autobiography about her experiences, called “I Am Not My Body — But I Wanted a Bigger Behind,” as she warns other young girls about the dangers of getting the shots.
But despite the fame, Barnes is fed up with the size, discoloration and sag of her butt and wants the fillers removed. So she turned to the “Botched” doctors for help.
Examining her rear, Dr. Dubrow explains that he is struggling to find a separation between the lumpy masses of fillers and normal tissue.
The doctor concluded that she had granulomas — or clusters of tissue that are produced in response to infection, inflammation or a foreign substance.
“Whoa, I’ve never felt anything like this before,” he says, stunned, to the camera in the episode.
He then goes on to explain to Barnes: “Because the masses are so superficially located, you absolutely can’t remove all of them. Unless you amputate … the whole booty.”
He did have some good news, however.
“The good news is that the person didn’t seem to inject much of it into the muscle — and that’s how people die. You get into the blood vessel of the buttock muscle and it goes right into the main blood vessel that goes back to your heart and your lungs. That’s how they’re killing people, so it’s very good that you don’t have that problem.”
Dr. Dubrow goes onto explain how he saw another patient who he didn’t think he would be able to help and then an idea came to him at a later date. He said they crafted a high-risk plan and went to the operating room but it was a success.
“What I would tell you is don’t give up hope,” he added.
Speaking to the camera, Dr. Dubrow says: “Hopefully we can find a way in the future we can figure out an option that won’t be too dangerous.”
Barnes adds: “I’m hopeful that Dr. Dubrow will have a solution for me but don’t take too long because I want a regular butt like a natural booty, like a nice little booty, I want one of those.”

Killer Curves Trailer: BET documentary on black market cosmetic surgery
In the last decade, with the rise of hip-hop videos and the video vixens that frequent them, the black market for butt injections has increased astronomically. Often times, women would be willing to meet strangers for under $3,000 in seedy motels in exchange for a more voluptuous backside. What many did not realize at the time was that they were being pumped with harmful garage concoctions of oil, fix-a-flat, cement and so on. Within two years the body would start to reject these harmful potions, and the foreign material would begin to corrode the buttocks.
Killer Curves is produced by Lala Anthony, and will feature K. Michelle.
