Coroner Finds Lack of Consent in Fatal Brazilian Butt Lift Case
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Guardian
A 26-year-old woman, Demi Agoglia, died after undergoing a Brazilian butt lift in Turkey without giving informed consent, as ruled by a Bolton coroner. The procedure, performed by Comfort Zone Surgery, was influenced by celebrity endorsements. Post-operative care was inadequate, with unqualified staff failing to address complications, leading to Agoglia's death from a fat embolism. The coroner criticized the low standards of care and plans to address the issue with the UK health secretary.
