She is believed to have suffered a series of heart attacks caused by a fat embolism despite being told her surgery had been a success.
A 26-year-old British woman has died days after undergoing a Brazilian bum-lift operation in Turkey. According to Metro, Demi Agoglia from Manchester in northern England, began experiencing chest pain hours before she was meant to return home. Her family said she was on her way back to the clinic in Istanbul for a check-up following the procedure but suffered a heart attack in a taxi on the way to the hospital on Monday.
Her partner Bradley Jones desperately tried to save her by giving her CPR before she was rushed into intensive care. However, doctors weren't able to save her. She is believed to have suffered a series of heart attacks caused by a fat embolism despite being told her surgery had been a success. Fat embolism syndrome is a condition where particles of fat get into the bloodstream and block blood flow.
A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a surgery where a doctor transfers fat from the abdomen, hips, lower back, or thighs to the buttocks. Women get the surgery to achieve an hourglass-shaped figure, with larger buttocks. Doctors remove the fat using liposuction.
