Story Highlights : After losing 95 kg, a British woman flew to Turkey for a tummy tuck and liposuction — but a surgical mistake nearly cost her life. A blood clot formed during the procedure, reaching her lungs and causing two heart attacks.
A woman in England nearly died after undergoing surgery to remove excess skin following a weight loss of 95 kg. Sarah Dyson lost so much weight over two-and-a-half year, but says it didn’t feel like it since there were loose folds of skin hanging around. She found a way to tuck in the excess skin every morning and had to wear baggy clothes to hide it. So she decided to have it removed. But the surgery would have cost £17,000 in the UK. Someone suggested having it in Turkey, as it would cost less. So Sarah left Manchester for Istanbul on September 1 and spent £6,500 for a tummy tuck, an arm lift and liposuction. But she had a near-death experience after the surgeons reportedly “forgot” to give her blood thinners, Daily Mail reported.
