The self-described businesswoman, model, and mother, who has spent £105,000 in total on plastic surgery, decided to have the surgery abroad because she had heard that doctors in the Caribbean country are particularly skilled in the procedure.
However, after going under the knife and returning home, Chelsea's dream figure soon turned to a nightmare, when a gym workout caused her bum implants to 'come out'.
On a recent ITV episode of Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, Chelsea explained: 'Six years ago, I went to the Dominican Republic because I heard that they were the best at doing bum implants.
'But then, when I got back from there, I went to the gym. I was squatting in the gym, and I felt something.
'My leg went all tingly, and I felt something come out. My implant was hanging.'
Chelsea recalled that her implant had come out from under her muscle and described the experience as 'horrendous'.
She added: 'If I knew all the ins and outs, I would have never got the bum implants because that was the worst, absolute worst journey I've ever been through, and it wasn't worth it.'
Since then, Chelsea has spent £63,000 on corrective procedures to fix the issue.
But while the procedure put Chelsea off of bum implant surgery, she has by no means been deterred from undergoing other procedures.
In the latest episode of Olivia Attwood 's docuseries, Chelsea joined the Love Island legend as she underwent her fourth boob job for just shy of £8,000, which saw her receive two implants weighing almost 1kg each.

Opening up on her journey into plastic surgery, Chelsea acknowledged: 'I was quite eager and as soon as I turned 18, I was booked straight away to get my boobs done.'
When looking at old photographs of herself before getting breast implants, Chelsea sighed: 'I look so ugly there. There's just no definition anywhere, there's no boobs, there's no bum.'
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

It was Chelsea's career as a glamour model that led her to compare herself to others in the industry, which made her feel her chest wasn't big enough to compete with her colleagues.
She admitted: 'I kind of fell into lingerie modelling, but I felt like I wasn't competing with the other glamour models that I was seeing.
'I had no boobs, I had like an A-cup, so I wanted to look like everyone else.'

Following this, she soon went on to have two additional breast implants before her most recent one, in a bid to get a 'fuller' and 'bigger' result.
Chelsea said: 'All in all, I've definitely spent over £100,000, probably £105,000. It's been eleven years, and a pricey eleven years.'
Chelsea's implants are the largest available at the London -based clinic that Chelsea visited, as she explained: 'It's a lot if you think about carrying two of those around.'
Despite the struggles, Chelsea concluded: 'There's always something else you need, you want, or something that could make you look better.
'It's almost like adrenaline, and I feel like that's what you're chasing as well.'
