DIY plastic surgery leads to horrific injuries

We give her 24 hours. Apryl Brown remembers lying on the hospital bed as the doctor uttered those words. A sense of relief came over her. “I didn’t think about losing my children. I didn’t think about leaving my mother,” she said. That searing pain came from an unimaginable source: a silicone filler, like the one Brown assumed plastic surgeons use daily. Brown never predicted the injections would land her here — dying in a hospital bed in June 2010. Her body was shutting down from a staph infection that doctors said was connected to the silicone injections. Doctors had no choice.
