A woman who spent $15,000 on black-market butt injections that nearly killed her, is dedicating her life to saving others from the same fate.
Vanity Wonder, 30, says she is lucky to be alive after becoming addicted to using illegal silicone shots to increase her hips and behind.
Appearing on the latest episode of TLCs My Strange Addiction, she gives advice to fellow addict Karmello who has filled her buttocks with two litres of liquid from illegal injections, taking it from a size four to a size ten.
Karmello, 23, from Detroit, Michigan, admits to having had 54 injections to her buttocks and plans another 36 to get her behind to the perfect size.
The mother-of-one was unhappy with her figure and started with the injections three years ago.
Despite her determination to increase her behind the medical way, not one of the injections have been performed by a plastic surgeon.
Instead she gets them on the black market from a woman she often meets in a hotel, spending thousands of dollars on filling her body with unknown liquids.
In the disturbing episode of the TLC show Karmellos friend Vanity Wonder, author of book Shots Girls who herself spent over $15,000 on illegal butt and hip injections, tries to warn Karmello of the risks.
