Bad Surgery Leads To Woman Having 4 Breast

A Staten Island mom who underwent bosom-boosting surgery got far more than she bargained for – “essentially four breasts,” her lawyer claimed Tuesday.

The 2003 augmentation operation and subsequent procedures left Maria Alaimo, now 47, with “double-bubble” deformities that caused “pain…disability, loss of self-esteem, humiliation and embarrassment,” according to a lawsuit she filed.

It also contributed to the end of the mother of two’s marriage, her lawyer Michael Kuharski told the Staten Island Advance.

Alaimo, who started out wanting only a pair of full 36 C cups, now is suing Dr. Keith Berman of Staten Island for $5 million in damages.

Opening arguments in a civil trial were made in Staten Island Supreme Court yesterday.

Jurors were told Alaimo found Berman through an online ad and paid him $7,000 cash for the surgery.

Post-op photos show heavy scars on Alaimo’s breasts, which appear flattened on the bottom with severe swells the size of a softball on top.

Kuharski called the “double-bubble” deformities “horrendous.”

Berman testified he fully warned Alaimo about the potential risks of the surgery, but Kuharski told jurors the doctor was concerned only with collecting his fee.
