A British mother-of-three who had a Brazilian bum-lift operation in Turkey has tragically died just days later.
Demi Agoglia, 26, is thought to have suffered cardiac arrests after returning to the clinic in Istanbul for a check-up following the op.
Relatives told The Sun newspaper she was pronounced dead in hospital on Monday after going into cardiac arrest in the taxi to the hospital, with her partner Bradley Jones desperately giving her CPR.
Ms Agoglia, a mum-of-three from Salford, Greater Manchester, is thought to have suffered heart attacks caused by a fat embolism after last Thursday’s surgery.
Her brother Carl, 37, urged others thinking of doing the same not to do so and told the paper: “It is tragic what happened. We are just in shock.”
He said: "If anyone is thinking of flying to Turkey for an operation I would say don't do it! Even her boyfriend didn't want her to do it.
“But she is 26 and has her own mind. Her mum didn't want her to go out either.”
He added: “She is only 26, she shouldn't have die. Just don't do it, it's such a high risk. She should never have done it. She has left three young kids.
“I was just told this morning. Her two eldest children were away with their dad and came home early and have been told. She also has a seven-month-old baby."
Her younger sister Georgina also posted an emotional tribute video on TikTok after Ms Agoglia’s passing.
She wrote: “I lost my sister yesterday. I miss you so much Demi. Nothing feels real anymore. How can you be gone.
“Just wanna hear you shout alright Rkid nothing with ever be the same without you I love you Demi x.”
In a Brazilian butt lift surgery (BBL), doctors transfer fat from the stomach, hips, lower back, or thighs to the buttocks, to give a more ‘hourglass’ figure.
However, injecting fat into buttocks can lead to serious problems if done incorrectly, with issues including a fat embolism, which is where fat enters the bloodstream and blocks a blood vessel.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the surgery has the highest rate of death of all aesthetic procedures.
Last year, the Foreign Office issued a warning to Brits travelling to Turkey for medical treatments in July, after learning of 25 people who have died there since January 2019.
In 2018, the British Association of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery told surgeons not to offer BBLs, though they could not ban it outright.
