Hull Mother Bed-Bound Months After Turkish Cosmetic Surgery Went Wrong

She says she was made to sign untranslated consent documents, highlighting risks in overseas cosmetic packages.

Overview

  • Three months after a tummy tuck and 360 liposuction, Soreena O'Malley reports severe pain, is confined to bed, and needs help with basic tasks.
  • She chose the procedure after a Facebook advert presented the Turkish hospital as safe and professional.
  • She says NHS surgeons told her the operation abroad was done improperly, and an NHS skin graft taken from her leg subsequently failed.
  • She alleges she was told to pay upfront to secure a bed and was asked to sign consent forms written only in Turkish with no translation.
  • Her partner has launched a GoFundMe seeking £5,000 for corrective care, with £426 pledged at the latest report, and outlets cite NHS advice urging caution over cosmetic surgery sold as travel packages with no immediate comment from NHS England.
