Louise Thompson opens up about plans for 'Barbie Butt Surgery'
Author and Made In Chelsea star, Louise Thompson, has discussed her possible future plans to undergo surgery relating to her IBD, known as 'Barbie Butt Surgery'. While this may sound similar to a BBL or like it would be done for cosmetic reasons, it's something entirely different.
"So I believe I will still have a bumhole [...] You know with a Barbie the hole is just like a smooth section, a smooth crack, and then her legs are like 'eeh, eeh, eeh'," Louise (who said last April that having a stoma bag fitted following a traumatic birth saved her life) joked, while talking to her partner Ryan Libbey on their podcast He Said, She Said. "I'll still have a bum crack, cheeks will still be there."
According to Colostomy UK, 'Barbie Butt Surgery' in more medical terms involves having the rectum and anus removed, and sewn shut. It is a type of major surgery and sometimes offered to those who have colorectal cancer, as well as patients with severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Following the surgery, a permanent stoma or ileostomy bag is required.
In a caption accompanying a clip from her podcast, Louise wrote that she likes to speak candidly about her health issues so that others feel they can discuss their own issues more freely with friends and family.
"So many people get embarrassed about this sort of stuff and lots of them happen to be directed to me," she wrote. "It’s not like I’m sat here showing you the inside of my small intestine that’s been pulled outside, but I do like to divulge the little that I’ve learnt about science and also my own personal experience."
Talking about her possible future operation, Louise suggested it could come sooner rather than later.
"For me it feels like my hand may be forced sooner than most people's because my IBD seems to be pretty prolific. I don't think that's the wrong use of the word given my bum is highly productive... productive in producing a LOT OF AWFUL THINGS," she wrote in her caption. "I guess Ryan's question [of] will I still have a bum crack is quite full on. I'm not going to suddenly have no line separating a big lump of muscle and fat like a Barbie?! So maybe it's deceptive."
