Danniella Westbrook prepares for boob job in Turkey despite recent surgery 'nightmare'

Danniella Westbrook is preparing to have a boob job in Turkey, despite her recent surgery "nightmare" which left her not wanting to go under the knife again.

The former EastEnders star, 49, was left traumatised on her recent trip to the country where she was left 'screaming in agony' during a terrifying operation on her face.

She went under the knife last month in a bid to reconstruct her nose after its septum collapsed following years of drug abuse.

Danniella claims she was 'slapped in the face' by a doctor who ran a 'hot laser' through her skin while she was undergoing the procedure.

She also said she was left screaming as the surgeon operated on her 'without anaesthetic.'

Despite branding the experience a "nightmare" it appears to not have deterred Danniella as she has been spotted preparing for another op.

Danniella was seen lounging by a pool as she is said to be meeting to discuss a boob job that could leave her four sizes bigger.

She was at Comfort Zone Surgery in Istanbul, which has been a favourite with other TV stars including Chloe Ferry.

The actress explained she had taken the trip to the eastern European country for facial reconstruction surgery after being convinced by a close friend.

Danniella was quoted a staggering £500,000 fees worth of surgery on the NHS but insists she will foot the bill for the much-needed operations.

Yet she went to Turkey after meeting the doctor over a video call.

After undergoing 3D scans on her nose, she was told the corrective surgery was “impossible” due to her osteoporosis.

Danniella was devastated, and said she had "waited five years" for the life-changing surgery, only to be told at the last minute that the operation was not going ahead.

However, she was offered filler in her face and Botox injections to straighten her nose, and agreed to return to see the surgeon.

When with the surgeon, Danniella said she was surprised they were also giving her a thread lift - a cosmetic procedure used to tighten and lift the face.

The surgeon allegedly slapped her as she complained about the amount of pain she was in as three metal rods were inserted into her face.

She said she was stitched back up by his medical assistant, but she was sent home with no pain relief or antibiotics.

"When I went to Turkey, I could have died. I could have died if someone had just botched it any further. I'm not the youngest person in the world and I haven't been the wellest," she told The Sun.

Since the operation, Danniella claims her nose is still the same - despite doctors putting '200 threads into it' - and says she's been left with 'big lumps of fluid over her belly'.

“I don’t know how it’s gone so wrong," she said. "I think it was a bit of miscommunication. I just wish I had never gone to Turkey to have it done. I will never have surgery abroad ever again."

She explained to OK! magazine : “It wasn’t until I was washing my hair that I realised the stitches had come undone and I had an open wound."

“I literally have a hole on the side of my head. It’s about an inch long. I could actually put my finger in the hole, which was awful."

Danniella said at the time she 'hates what she sees', and admitted she had been put off by going under the knife again.

The actress hoped to have the bridge of her nose reconstructed in the Liverpool, saying as soon as she's healed she'll 'see what can be done'.
