A 30-year-old British model and beautician died after undergoing a boob job in Spain, News.com.au reported. The incident happened in September 2023 when Donna Butterfield underwent two cosmetic operations at a private clinic in Palma, Majorca. Notably, she had a breast enlargement performed several years ago but had returned to have an imbalance corrected. The surgery cost her $11,650 (Rs 9,71,416).
However, the aspiring model, who had a pre-existing heart condition, suffered a heart attack, as a reaction to the anaesthetic and went into cardiac arrest. She was admitted to the intensive care unit at Son Espases University Hospital in Palma but died on September 14.
Her family said that all the preceding consultations had been conducted by email, and claimed that the clinic had taken very few precautions beforehand. A police investigation was launched after the woman's family accused the cosmetic surgeons of malpractice.
