Overview

  • In May 2024 Leanne Abeyance underwent a sinus lift, bone grafts and 15 implants in Turkey drawn by lower costs than in the UK
  • She reported feeling procedures without adequate anaesthesia and soon developed intense headaches, sinus infections and facial collapse
  • A 4D scan in March at Droitwich Dental Studio confirmed two implants had breached her sinus and nasal passages
  • The estimated £45,000 procedure to remove and refit the implants is being financed through a public fundraising campaign
  • Ongoing pain, headaches and mental health struggles have left her unable to work as a DJ or fully care for her two daughters
