A British mother has died after having a Brazilian butt lift in Turkey that she hoped would change her life.
Kaydell Brown, 38, of Sheffield, paid £5,400 for a ‘mummy MOT’ – a package deal involving a Brazilian butt lift, a tummy tuck and a boob job. The cost in Britain would have been around £15,000.
ABOUT THE BUTT LIFT SURGERY
The hairdresser underwent the procedures at Clinic Expert in Istanbul on the morning of March 26, 2024, but never came out.
Her heartbroken sister Leanne, 40, who was due to have the same surgery, slammed the Turkish clinic, branding it a ‘pop-up butcher shop that needs shutting down’.
Leanne claimed that after medics informed her of her sister’s death she was handed an envelope of cash and was booked on the next flight home.
‘It’s like, ”Sorry she’s dead, here’s your plane ticket”,’ she told ITV.
HOW IT HAPPENED FOR KAYDELL
Kaydell had hoped the surgery would get her life ‘back on track’ after she put on weight due to injuring her ankle, according to her sister.
Leanne said: ‘She was really happy. She was excited. We were smiling, having a laugh and she just wanted to get there and get it done.’
Two days later, Kaydell went down to theatre in the morning for the operation, which was meant to take five hours.
But 10 hours later, her sister Leanne was told that the surgery had tragically killed her sister.
‘They told me that evening that she didn’t make it. I couldn’t believe it. I was still in a room waiting for her to come back. I had asked a few times how long she was going to be, and they kept saying, ”She’s coming”.’
After her request to see her sister’s body was refused, Leanne was forced to head back to England without her loved one.
