Staten Island Woman Alleges Surgeon Gave Her Four Breasts

…and that’s not what she was looking for. Forty seven-year-old Maria Alaimo went into Dr. Keith Berman‘s office looking for some good ol’ breast implants but was shocked by what she saw after the surgery was finished. Maria says that she went into surgery thinking she was going to come out with two brand-spanking new 36C boobs, but instead emerged from the operating room with a “double bubble.” Her lawsuit says that after paying $2,999 and a $500 referral fee for the surgery, her breasts now “appear flattened on the bottom with severe swells the size of a softball on top,” slightly looking as if she has four boobs! Maria is also seeking compensation for the emotional and marital stress her disfigured boobies wreaked. She says that because she was so self-concious about her chest, she would not get naked in front of her husband, and therefore they got a divorce as a result. If you’re husband left you because of a bad boob job, then he probably was searching for a way out a long time before you went under the knife…just saying.

Maria went through two more procedures to correct the quadruple boobness, but she says that her condition was only made worse. The attorney working on her case says that the doctor did not make the pre-surgery markings that would have helped avoid the mishap and the two are now seeking $5 million in damages.

Jerry Giardina who is defending the good doctor, says that Maria should understand that every surgery carries some risk:

“Plastic surgery is trivialized, but the reality is that plastic surgery is just that—surgery. There are no guarantees. What one person responds to, another does not.”

Eh, I find it hard to believe that anyone would respond well to four oddly shaped boobs.
