A woman has been left with agony and “dying nipples” after travelling to Turkey for a boob job which went wrong.
Chloe Rose, 22, went under the knife in Istanbul and paid £2,800 for the operation to “make herself feel better”. However as soon as she woke up from the four-hour surgery she screamed in agony as it had gone drastically wrong.
Friends in Istanbul say surgeons took too much skin from her breasts leading to a loss of circulation to her nipples, causing necrosis - the death of body tissue. Chloe's friends shared graphic images on social media of her breasts after her operation. They show her nipple tissue turning black due to a lack of blood flow. Now she is stuck in Turkey as she is not sure it is safe to fly home to Halifax, West Yorkshire.
Friend Rachel Mucha, 22, who is in Istanbul with Chloe, said: "Chloe wanted to feel good and better about herself. She hated the way her boobs looked so she booked an operation in Turkey, where it's much cheaper than the UK.
"We flew out on Monday and she had the operation on Tuesday. The doctors said the operation went fine but when Chloe came around she was screaming in agony - she knew her body didn’t feel right.

"She's been left with nipple necrosis where her nipples are dying. Now, we are stuck in a foreign country unsure of what to do. The doctor kept telling us 'it's fine' but it isn't fine. Chloe is in agony - she feels like she's going to die. We left the hospital because we couldn't afford to stay. We want to fly home but we don't know if she will be allowed."

Her sister, Colette, wrote: “I’ve never seen anyone so young look so unwell in my life. The surgery should have taken 45 minutes, it took five hours. It should have been so simple. My sister came out in shock where she was convulsing on the bed. From that point on it was all downhill. We are in Turkey and Chloe had a breast uplift - since surgery her nipples have lost blood circulation and died.
"The doctors have never admitted to a problem the whole way through they’ve just said everything is normal. They have undone her stitches with a blade, wide awake, no pain relief as I watched and left her with open wounds for 48 hours.

The Foreign Office has assured Chloe's MP they are "escalating the matter." Halifax MP Holly Lynch said: "I was sorry to hear today about Chloe's terrible experience. My office has contacted the Foreign Office who assure me they are escalating the matter, we have also contacted Chloe's insurance provider to make representations on her behalf. I will continue to do what I can to support Chloe and her family in the days to come."
