JAKARTA - Luara Butiellys Nunes Coelho (31) had to undergo emergency surgery after her butt implant leaked to her leg.

This transgender woman from Brazil got implants into her buttocks 10 years ago. But now he is suffering from pain and swelling.

Laura is currently trying to get an MRI scan as well as an implant removal surgery at a public health service in her country.

"The doctor told me that as long as the silicone was not removed I would continue to have infections and it would get worse," Laura told local media. Reported by the Daily Star, Tuesday, January 5.

"It's very sad and very painful. I use morphine to deal with the pain."

According to Luara, doctors who saw him at the emergency care center in the Brazilian municipality of Aparecida de Goiania, told him that if he didn't have the surgery, his leg could develop necrosis and would have to be amputated.

Over the past two months, her pain has gotten worse and Luara has spent most of her last 30 days in hospitals at various medical centers.

According to Laura's confession, she was often transferred from one hospital to another without any medical action.

"We transsexuals have suffered so much from prejudice," he said.

"I think (Brazil's public health service) should welcome us better and be more understanding."

However, Luara recently managed to secure a specialist consultation schedule on January 6th. He hopes it will bring him a step closer to the operating table.
