Woman who hated her 34A breasts but couldn't afford implants has had her wish come true - after STRANGERS on the internet funded the op to take her to 34DD
Most women who decide on cosmetic surgery save up for years, take out a loan or even a second job.
But for Gemini Smith, 23, from Cramlington, Northumbria, it was much easier - in fact all she had to do was sign up to MyFreeImplants.com, where users donated a dollar to her operation every time they sent her a message.
After three months, Miss Smith had raised the £4,450 needed to send her from a 34A to a 34DD.
Miss Smith, an undertaker, always hated her 34A breasts which, she thought, made her look like a '12-year-old boy'.
She fell into depression, but her hopes were boosted when she discovered MyFreeImplants.com, an American website where strangers donate towards cosmetic surgery.
She made the decision to have them enlarged but struggled to save for the operation and only managed to find a fraction of
The site has grown in popularity and Miss Smith is thought to be one of thousands of British women now signing up to attract would-be benefactors.
She managed to raise her target in just three months, overtaking most women who have been members of the site for three to four years.
She has now undergone the surgery which has seen her grow to a 34DD.
And the operation has boosted her confidence so much she has since got engaged to a man she was previously chatting to on Facebook.
She said: 'When I was 16 I just didn't develop at all, whereas all the other girls in my class in PE were all developed and had a decent sized chest I just looked like a 12-year-old boy.

'It was having an effect on my social life and knocked my confidence, I was always bullied in school and this just knocked me even more.
'I was depressed really and it was awful, I used to wear big jumpers to cover everything up, I hated them.
'I always said I wanted a boob job but when I got a job I couldn't save up the kind of money needed in the time scale I wanted because I was so desperate.
'The website MyFreeImplants.com looked really genuine with the possibility to do what I wanted to do, how I wanted to do it.
'When I raised the amount I was absolutely over the moon.'

They also have the option to make larger donations to women of their choice.
Miss Smith joined the site in July 2013, spoke to dozens of men and women a week and received a dollar for every message sent to her.
She added: 'It's more like a social network site but because of the nature of what you are wanting done people expect you, or want you, to show something or do something.
'Personally I didn't do anything I didn't want to for money, I just said if you are going to help me and talk to me then it is because you like me for me, not for what I can do.
'I made quite a few genuine friends on there who I can talk to about anything and everything.'
After reaching her total the money was transferred straight to a surgeon of Miss Smith's choice and she had her breast enhancement in Manchester on November 14.
She said: 'If I could do it again I would, it was a great place to meet people and it has just made me so much happier.
'I just wanted to look like I was born with them all developed really, I wasn't looking for over the top, and the surgeon was so nice.
'I can finally wear low cut tops and feel good about myself, although I still find myself covering up out of habit.
'The surgery was just for me, it wasn't for anyone else, it was just to raise my confidence, and it has done that so much more than I could have hoped.
'If anyone asked me if they should do it I would tell them to straight away, it is the best decision I ever made.'
