At just 29, London-based influencer Chelsea Robinson revealed a nightmare scenario: her bum implants literally “fell out” during a gym squat just months after travelling to the Dominican Republic for surgery, leading to a staggering £63,000 (about $85,000) in corrective procedures as UNILAD reported. Despite the horror, she’s continued undergoing surgeries, amassing an estimated £105,000 (approximately $140k) on enhancements over the last decade.
Robinson appeared on the ITV series *Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection*, recounting her terror at the gym moment when “my leg went all tingly… and I felt something come out. My implant was hanging,” she said, describing the implant slipping out from under her muscle during a standard squat as coverage on Newsner confirms. It was a rare but devastating complication.
“My leg went tingly… I felt something come out. My implant was hanging.”
After the ordeal, Robinson said she regretted ever getting the implants. “If I knew all the ins and outs, I would have never got them. It was the absolute worst journey I’ve ever been through, and it wasn’t worth it,” she shared emotionally—with the experience described as “horrendous” during her interview according to The Tab.
Nevertheless, Robinson has barely slowed down. She started surgery at 18 with her first breast augment, and over 11 years has had multiple procedures—including four breast surgeries, each implant weighing nearly 1 kg—driven by pressure in the lingerie modelling scene to compete with peers as detailed in that report.
“There’s always something else you need… it’s almost like chasing adrenaline.”
Robinson acknowledged that chasing perfection became an addiction. “There’s always something else you want or feel you need to look better,” she said. “It’s almost like an adrenaline rush—and I feel like that’s what you’re really after” UNILAD’s deeper profile illustrates.
Experts caution that implant dislocation is rare but can happen if the tissue pocket is too large, allowing the implant to shift—or even fall out—during vigorous movement, especially in the gym as explained by OutKick health commentary. Corrective surgeries are often necessary to reposition and secure implants properly.
Robinson’s story follows other influencers who spent tens or even hundreds of thousands on enhancements—though unlike Bibi Bugatti, who poured over $300,000 into cosmetic procedures yet continues despite near-death risk, Robinson’s setback didn’t stop her pursuit as detailed in a New York Post profile.
Despite the trauma, Robinson says she doesn’t regret all the surgeries—though she won’t have bum implants again anytime soon. Still, she plans to continue pursuing other enhancements, emphasizing the complicated relationship between body image, confidence, and social media expectations.
Her journey is raw and cautionary: a reminder of the risks in cosmetic tourism and the pressure-filled world of Instagram modelling. Yet Chelsea’s continued pursuit of enhancement also reflects how difficult it can be to disentangle self‑esteem from appearance in a digital age.
Robinson’s experience has resonated widely, drawing mixed reactions across Reddit and X threads—some applauding her honesty, others urging self-love over surgery. One commenter wrote, “She survived the worst and still has the courage to keep going.”
In the end, her story underscores a broader debate: when does confidence become compulsion, and how should one weigh risk, regret, and identity in decisions about their body? Even after spending thousands to fix a nightmare, she’s still navigating the blurred line between ambition and caution.
