A reality TV star has revealed how "botched" plastic surgery left her without a belly button.
Larissa Dos Santos Lima claimed surgeons doing a routine tummy tuck – an abdominoplasty – removed her belly button without her consent.
The OnlyFans model, who is well known in the United States for her appearances on reality shows, said she had been "scared and embarrassed" to speak out.

Larissa, 35, said she had decided to tell her story now as she was sick of being "silent in my sadness".
The Brazilian-born stunner told how she'd gone into hospital for the routine plastic surgery to get a flatter tummy a year ago.
But when she came round from the anaesthetic and the dressings came off, she realised to her horror that she had no belly button.
Taking to Instagram, the brunette beauty said: “I would like to take the first step in slowly opening up about a plastic surgery procedure I received that is botched.
“Like so many other people in this situation, I’ve been scared and embarrassed to speak out.
“When I got abdominoplasty, my belly button was removed and disposed without my consent."
She went on to say that in the following months she underwent three "very painful" procedures to try and create a belly button, but none were successful.
Larissa appeared on the US shows '90 Day Fiancé' and '90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After'.
She starred on the sixth season of the reality show, where she moved to the US to be with Colt Johnson before they got married and, eventually, divorced in April 2019.
On Instagram, several fans praised Larissa for her courage in raising awareness of the risks of plastic surgery
One social media user said: “Thank you for sharing. I know this is probably super hard for you, but I appreciate knowing the truth behind these procedures and I’m sure others do as well.”
Another said: “Thank you for sharing for awareness – not many do but it’s very helpful for those who experience the same.”
