Love Island's Anna Vakili reveals she almost died when secret bum lift surgery went wrong

Love Island bombshell Anna Vakili has opened up about her nightmare bum lift surgery and how it almost killed her.

The stunning brunette opted to have a second Brazilian bum lift, but rapidly regretted it.

Anna and her sister Mandi flew to Turkey to get the operations carried out, revealing that they were trying to be thrifty and get it done on a budget.

Speaking on the Sisters in the City podcast, which they host together, the duo opened up about how they were left bandaged up and in a room that looked like a horror movie.

Anna said on the podcast: "A Brazilian butt lift is a fat transfer where they take fat from other parts of your body and they put it into your bum.

"When we first did it, it was really good. We went to a really good place in London, a reputable surgeon, recovery... good. Minimal scars.

"I don't regret that first one. It made me feel better, it made me feel more confident."

Anna then said: "We went to too far when we did it again."

Mandi chipped in and said: "We ended up like Frankenstien. The second time we went, we wanter a cheaper option so we went abroad. Do your research thoroughly - if it's cheap, it's cheap for a reason."

Explaining the situation further, Anna said: "The second time we did it, we went abroad to Turkey and me and Mandi thought we were going to die abroad. It was very scary.

"After our surgery, within a day or two, we were in a hotel room about to faint with blood all over the hotel room.

"It was like a murder scene, we both collapsed in hotel room. Bandaged up, bleeding... it was like a horror movie."

She then concluded: "So many people die. It's one of the most invasive surgical procedures a BBL and it's one of the most complicated and dangerous ones, so don't take the decision lightly.

"Without surgery you have a body that's not full of scars."

Anna starred on Love Island in 2019 and entered the villa on day one before being dumped on day 52.

Away from the TV screen, Anna is a pharmacist as well as a social media influencer with more than one million followers.

Earlier today, the former Love Island beauty took to Instagram to chat about the podcast episode where she discusses her procedures.

Posting a sizzling snap of herself, she wrote in the caption: "I’ve kept quiet up until now - but I’ve finally opened up about what surgical procedures I’ve had, any regrets/mistakes, my thoughts on surgery and this constant pressure we have in this day and age to look a certain way."

She added: "I was always worried about talking about this topic - but I do wish sometimes I did certain things differently so if me being open can guide someone when making this life changing decision then it’s for the best.

"Everyone should do whatever makes them happy as long as they are doing it for themselves, they’ve done their research and are sure of their decision."
