A MUM who had plastic surgery to save her marriage was left with horrifying "smelly" wounds that caused her husband to walk out.<\/p>\n

Dale Gaglio, 54, spent more than \u00a312,000 on a boob job and tummy tuck after cruel bullies dubbed her "Dale the Whale" for years – but she was left "ripped open" by a botched surgeon. <\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

Dale woke up from the operation to find she had two belly buttons, a missing front tooth, and two 36DDD uneven breasts which made her feel "like a porn star".<\/p>\n

The mum-of-two, from New York, had asked for breast implants and a circumferential tummy tuck – where surgeons also remove fat from the lower back. <\/p>\n

But Dale said she woke up to find a gaping hole in her back that was so big "it looked like you could put your hand in and grab my spinal cord". <\/p>\n

She claimed her husband was left so "disgusted" by the results and aftermath of the surgery that he walked out on her after 20 years of marriage. <\/p>\n

After being bullied throughout her childhood for her looks, Dale said her self-esteem has hit rock bottom.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun, she said: "The smell and look of the wound was pretty much the nail in the coffin of my marriage.<\/p>\n

"My whole back was torn open. It looked like you could put your hands in and grab my spinal cord.<\/p>\n

"One breast is completely different then the other and pops out of my bra all the time which is embarrassing.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

"How do you move forward with such horrific scars?" <\/p>\n

Dale said there were four medics in the room before the operation – but claims there was only one when she woke up.<\/p>\n

The mum claims the staff had "plans" and prioritised their social lives over her health, leaving her wounds half-stitched before she was sent home. <\/p>\n

"It was a day where they all had to rush out and be somewhere," Dale said.<\/p>\n

"I\u2019m sure I was bleeding when I was wheeled out and thrown into my friend's car."<\/p>\n

Dale's pal pleaded with her to go to the hospital – but she refused as she couldn't afford to pay for treatment and believed her insurance wouldn't cover complications from plastic surgery.<\/p>\n

She had no choice but to return to the clinic to have the wound sewn up again. <\/p>\n

But it then split open for a second time. <\/p>\n

Dale said the pain was "awful" and the hole in her back was left wide open for a whole summer.<\/p>\n

The wound had started to tear from both sides before it was finally closed by the same surgeon, she said. <\/p>\n

She was finally given a wound vac machine to help heal her injuries – which pulls fluid from the wound over time and keeps it clean. <\/p>\n

But Dale described it as "utterly disgusting and smelly" – and claims it was the final straw for her husband. <\/p>\n

"He was disgusted by me," she said. <\/p>\n

"The worst part is that I did this because my marriage was falling apart, but the smell and look of the wound vac pretty much was the nail in the coffin of my marriage."<\/p>\n

And once the wound was healed she was left with \u201chorrific scars" and advised by the surgeon to have laser scar removal.<\/p>\n

The procedure was carried out by a nurse from the first op – and Dale believes it was the surgeon's way of trying to make up for the horrific damage she had caused.<\/p>\n

But the mum allegedly caught the nurse altering the images of her scarring on an iPad to make it look less severe.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old feels she was "lured\u201d into the practice through \u201cfake kindness\u201d and free gifts of skincare products worth $120.<\/p>\n

She said: "They were so sweet and said \u2018look how beautiful you are\u2019 – just over the top kind, and the kindness was fake.<\/p>\n

"I honestly believe that they knew they had a desperate, insecure woman on their hands, so they saw dollar signs.<\/p>\n

"I got scammed so bad."<\/p>\n

Dale said she was fooled by the "brand new and pristine" office at the practice and had felt like she was in safe hands.<\/p>\n

"This was supposed to be me going to the beach in the summer and now I can't even wear a two piece because I\u2019m paranoid about the scars," she said. <\/p>\n

Dale explained that she has struggled with body confidence issues since her childhood – and now her self-esteem is "in the toilet". <\/p>\n

"The scars on the inside are worse than the ones on the outside," she said. <\/p>\n

"How do I explain to a man why I\u2019m so scarred? The thought of taking my clothes off in front of anyone causes me major anxiety.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ordeal has affected every aspect of her life – including her career.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She used to be a high-flying business woman but had to give this up due to her poor health and now works a part time job in a UPS store.<\/p>\n

"If you have to do something like that to hold onto a man then it\u2019s not worth it," Dale warned. <\/p>\n

"I want women to know that to just love yourself the way you are. <\/p>\n

"You don\u2019t have to be perfect and have plastic surgery.<\/p>\n
