Overview
- Soreena O’Malley from Hull says she remains bed-bound three months after booking a tummy tuck and 360 liposuction in Turkey through a Facebook advert, with a large open wound on her abdomen.
- She reports NHS surgeons told her the operation was performed improperly, and she has needed emergency treatment in the UK including a skin graft that failed.
- She alleges the hospital demanded upfront payment on arrival at 3am and presented consent forms only in Turkish with no translation available.
- An NHS England spokesperson said the service is too often left treating complications from cosmetic procedures abroad, creating unplanned pressure on clinical teams.
- Her partner has launched a GoFundMe seeking £5,000 for corrective care, with fundraising underway.
