Pete Burns, former 80’s singing star and front man for the rock band “Dead or Alive” continues to suffer the cruel side effects of a cosmetic surgery gone horribly wrong.

The singer’s face has become drastically disfigured due to the more than one hundred operations he has undergone to fix a lip plumping cosmetic procedure that was supposed to enhance his looks, not destroy them. The singer can now only eat through a straw and can barely hold a cigarette in his mouth on the rare occasions he ventures out into public.

Burns earned fame with the memorable tune “You Spin Me Right Round” and has now earned another kind of fame by being the face of what can happen when experimental cosmetic procedures go wrong. After becoming dissatisfied with a lip procedure, Burns went to another doctor who injected a product called Outline Original into his lips causing massive swelling and loss of feeling in his lips. Claiming the doctor was negligent because he refused to heed warnings about the use of the product in connection with other lip fillers, Burns sued.

After winning an almost million dollar lawsuit against the doctor and the company that produced Outline Original, Burns then went on to spend most of the money on dozens of surgeries in an eighteen month attempt to repair the damage. Some critics say that the damage to Burn’s face is only due in part to the original injection, and is mostly the result of a man addicted to plastic surgery.

Though he is on his way to healing and getting his life back, Burns laments the cost the surgeries has taken on his emotions as well as his career. ‘It has taken away my life and my career. I saw doctors in London who said the only option was to amputate my lips. I was suicidal.’ Burns’ experience is a painful example to others who get involved with disreputable plastic surgeons and experiment with untested products. Only certified surgeons and approved products should be used in any type of surgery or the risk of spending your life drinking out of a straw is a very real one.
