A woman from Britain, Cennet Lo, is currently facing a difficult situation in Turkey. She had gone there to undergo a series of cosmetic procedures, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Cennet was left with severe infections and sepsis, and what's more, she claims that she even woke up during one of her surgeries.
Cennet, who is a mother of two, traveled to Bodrum a few months ago to have a tummy tuck, liposuction, and a Brazilian butt lift. However, she now finds herself unable to leave Turkey due to the complications she faced from her procedures. In an interview with ITV, she shared her frightening experience of waking up during surgery and seeing the surgeon performing liposuction on her stomach.
After returning to the UK, Cennet started experiencing excruciating pain, which led her to visit the hospital twice. Despite this, she decided to go back to Turkey in May to have corrective surgeries. She admitted that she was terrified to fall asleep, fearing that she might not wake up again.
As a result of the infections, Cennet has undergone four major surgeries to treat the wounds. She also revealed that during one of these surgeries, she woke up to find out that her surgeon had performed another tummy tuck without her consent. She also shared a horrifying incident where she had to have necrotic tissue removed without any anesthesia.
Cennet's story is just one of many similar cases in Turkey. In 2022, more than 1.2 million foreigners visited the country for medical procedures, most of which were cosmetic. The number of British people seeking cosmetic procedures in Turkey is also on the rise, with an estimated 150,000 traveling there for such treatments.
Unfortunately, complications from these procedures are also increasing. The Foreign Office reported that at least 28 Brits have died after having cosmetic surgeries in Turkey since 2019. According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, there has been a 94% increase in the number of people requiring hospital treatment in the UK after undergoing cosmetic surgeries abroad in the last three years.
Marc Pacifico, the president of BAAPS, expressed his concerns about the lack of proper standards in these procedures. He emphasized that it is essential to perform the right operation on the right person at the right time. He also shared shocking stories of surgeries being performed on individuals who are not suitable candidates and the poor aftercare provided to them.
Cennet's experience serves as a warning to those considering traveling abroad for cosmetic procedures. It is crucial to thoroughly research and choose a reputable and qualified surgeon and facility. As the saying goes, "safety first."
