The Intriguingly Mysterious Story of Sydney Smith, The Giraffe-Necked Woman
The Possible Complications
Sydney was concerned about acquiring contamination or infection while wearing the coils, but there was no indication of any skin illness after they were removed. However, she had severe red and purple bruises all over her shoulders and neck. She had to apply concealer to cover up the bruises for a while after removing the hoops when posing for photos.
The main issue, however, was her neck’s insufficient strength, since she felt it was very weak. In fact, she referred to it as “arms on a toothpick.” Doctors had previously told her that the procedure was hazardous and could result in neck nerve damage.
