GABBY Allen has learnt the hard way what happens to surgically-enhanced boobs when you go back to the gym too soon.
So now she swears by a band to keep her “baps” in place when she works out.
“For anyone that’s had the boobs done, you’ve got to get yourself one of these bands,” Gabby said in a video on her TikTok page.
“I know they’re not the most attractive, most stylish fashion accessory, but they stop your boobs from moving around when you’re running!”
And she’s such a fan of the compression band that she even wears it when she’s not exercising.
“I literally don’t take mine off,” she said.
“I sleep in it, and as soon as I get home – you know the way some people take their bras off when they get home?
“I put my bra on, my sports bra, my support band, and they’re keeping my boobs very perky!”
“I don’t take mine off these baps are staying in place this time… After my last surgery it was not pretty,” Gabby added in the video caption.
While Gabby’s band appeared to be a post-surgery compression band, which you can get online for around £10, there are also specific bands for exercising – called a Boobuddy.
According to their website, the band “reduces vertical and lateral breast movement by providing compression tailored for high-impact exercises”.
Gabby, 32, appeared on Love Island back in 2017.
And after taking part in the ITV2 TV competition, she was left feeling so insecure about her body that she went under the knife, but the £5,000 operation – meant to take her from a B cup to a C – ended up being a botched one.
She told The Sun’s Fabulous magazine: “When I was there, I was 25 and fabulous.
“But I still had a meltdown on the show. It was about my boobs. I didn’t directly say that, or maybe I did. But I had no boobs, I just wasn’t naturally well endowed.
“There was a lot of girls on the show that did have lovely big, fake or real boobs.
“And they were all getting loads of dates and I was like, ‘Is it because I haven’t got any boobs or is it just because nobody actually wants me?'”
Reflecting on how she “ruined” the implants post op, she said: “I got too excited and went back (to the gym) way too soon.
Gravity: Over time, the constant pull of gravity can cause the ligaments in the boobs to stretch and sag, especially in larger ones
Smoking: Smoking reduces blood supply to the skin, leading to a loss of elasticity and premature sagging
Lack of Support: Not wearing a properly fitting bra, especially during exercise, can lead to stretching of breast tissue and ligaments
Weight gain and loss: Changes in body weight can spark changes to the fatty tissue in the breasts, making them more prone to sagging
“My left boob dropped massively and then my right boob dropped as well, but it wasn’t as bad as the left one.
“My left boob was literally facing the ceiling.”
Gabby then travelled to Turkey to get her boobs corrected and redone to a DD, as she said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to bits with them now!”
