Woman suddenly dies after botched tummy tuck causes blood clot in her lungs
A young woman died after a botched plastic surgery to be thinner left her with a massive blood clot in her lungs.
Suellen Pamela de Moura from the city of Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo State, Brazil, died three days after she went through a tummy tucking procedure on Wednesday August 23. The 34-year-old woman was reportedly discharged the day after the surgery, and began developing shortness of breath and chest pain two days later on Friday, August 25.
She was then reportedly rushed to the hospital's Emergency Care Unit (UPA), where medics diagnosed her with pulmonary embolism. The lethal condition - occurring when a clump of material, most often a blood clot, gets stuck in an artery in the lungs- results in the sudden blockage of blood flow.

In the UK yesterday, it emerged that beauticians will face tighter regulations after thousands of botched cosmetic procedures. The Government has launched a consultation on licensing the booming but largely unregulated industry. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in procedures such as Botox, lip fillers, and bum lifts that are promoted by influencers online.
But in many cases, the people offering the treatments are not qualified to carry them out, and clients have reported a series of debilitating side effects. Women’s Health Minister Maria Caulfield said: “We have heard too many stories of people who have had bad experiences from getting a cosmetic procedure from someone who is underqualified.
“There is no doubt the popularity of cosmetic procedures is increasing, so it’s our role to ensure consistent standards for consumers and a level playing field for businesses and practitioners.” Some 900,000 Botox injections are carried out in Britain every year. Thousands of complaints about side effects such as numbness, swelling, and skin disorders have been logged with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in recent years. Save Face, a Government-approved register of accredited practitioners, received almost 3,000 complaints in 2022.
