GRAPHIC IMAGE WARNING: Sara Platt, who forked out £14,000 for a tummy tuck, breast implants and three other procedures in Antalya earlier this year, has spoken out about her ordeal.
A disabled mum claims she has lost her right breast and was left fighting for her life after undergoing ‘botched’ cosmetic surgery in Turkey. Sara Platt forked out £14,000 for a tummy tuck, breast implants and three other procedures in Antalya earlier this year.
Sara says her nightmare began after she was fitted with a gastric sleeve to lose weight after hitting 24 stone in September 2021 from steroid treatment for her endometriosis. But after shedding 12 stone, she was left with 'intolerable' excess skin which developed boils and blisters from rubbing. She said: "My family have lost me. I could have died. I trusted the medical company and the doctor with this procedure and my life. The doctors said the way he cut into my skin was like a jigsaw and didn't allow for blood flow to circulate through the skin. My life is still at risk until the infections are gone and the wounds are closed."
They rushed her to a clinic room rather than an operation theatre and was told she would be sedated. She was awake whilst he cut away at her stomach flesh which had started to die and "necrose". He then used a "burning tool" to cauterise the wound. She spent another month in hospital and endured eight corrective surgeries to save her life. This involved removing most of her breasts, the implants which were too large and using skin grafts to reconstruct her stomach which had too much skin missing.
After Sara started receiving treatment in the Turkish cosmetic agency said in a message to her: "The doctor said that there is no problem caused by the operation, there is no infection, you did not rest after the operation when you should have rested."
