Overview
- After weight-loss injections in 2023 left her with excess skin, Anntina Forster, 42, travelled to Antalya last month for a £6,700 tummy tuck, breast lift and liposuction.
- She says she woke from the six-hour operation in extreme pain with leaking wounds, which clinic staff told her was a normal recovery.
- Back in Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital doctors diagnosed E. coli, performed emergency wound-cleaning surgery and gave a blood transfusion as she neared septic shock.
- She spent about 10 days in hospital before discharge and now says she regrets the procedure and feels lucky to be alive.
- The clinic replied that her messages were “quite rude” and warned she was not permitted to post negative statements without an official medical report, and there is no independent finding of surgical error in the coverage.
