Butt Enlargement Surgery Gone wrong: British Born Nigerian Lady dies in Thailand During Butt Enlargement
A
24-year-old British born Nigerian woman became the latest cosmetic surgery
fatality after she died over the weekend following a procedure by a
not-exactly-certified Bangkok doctor.The family of the British girl who died
while having cut-price plastic surgery in Thailand have revealed that they
didn't know she had gone abroad.
Joy
Williams, 23, from Thamesmead, was described as a 'caring and funny' girl who
was 'loved by everybody.
She
died on October 23 after travelling to Bangkok to have £2,000 buttock augmentation
surgery.
Speaking
yesterday from his home in Lagos, Nigeria, Miss Williams's older brother
Anietie, 28, said he had been looking forward to her visiting him in Nigeria
this Christmas.
He
said: 'We don't really know what went wrong, we only know what is in reports in
the media.
'She
was a very nice and caring person.
'She
brought joy to people's lives.
'She
was a beautiful girl, loved by everybody. We will miss her so much.'
He
added that the family were still making preparations to bring Miss Williams's
body home and that his brother was planning to fly to Thailand and return to
London with it.
Miss
Williams, who was born in Lagos, settled in Thamesmead with her mother Christie
in 2007 and had been to Thailand twice before choosing to visit for surgery.
She
initially visitied to the SP clinic, which she found on the internet, on
October 14 to have the operation which she hoped would give her a bigger,
fuller bottom.
A
few days later her wounds became infected and she returned to have corrective
surgery to remove the silicon implants.
But
she was found dead on the operating table with a three inch-long stitched
incision on her tail bone after medical staff found they were unable to
resuscitate her.
Thai
officials investigating her death believe her operation had been delayed to
ensure Miss Williams had not eaten anything beforehand and that as a result the
operation began after the clinic's legal closing time of 7pm.
It
is believed Miss Williams had long struggled with her self-esteem and been
bullied at school before choosing to undergo an operation on her nose to
improve her looks.

PLASTIC SURGERY DEATHS
In December 2009, a former Miss
Argentina died following surgery to make her buttocks firmer.
Solange Magnano (right), 38,
was rushed to hospital with severe breathing problems after the cosmetic
operation.
The mother of eight-year-old
twins died from a blocked lung artery after spending three days in a critical
condition in intensive care.
Denise Hendry, wife of former
football star Colin Hendry, also died as the result of a liposuction operation
in which the surgeon punctured her bowel nine times.
She suffered a heart attack,
multiple organ failure and blood poisoning, and spent five weeks in a coma.
She survived the initial
operation, but was forced to undergo 18 operations to fix her bowel.
She died seven years later,
aged just 42.
The
doctor who carried out the procedure, Sompob Sansiri, 51, was later arrested
and accused of negligence after it was found that he had been carrying out
night-time surgery without a licence.
He
has now been charged with recklessness causing death and could face 10 years in
jail if found guilty.
The
clinic has been closed for 60 days while investigations are carried out.
Thailand
is a world-leader in cosmetic surgery tourism with many companies offering
procedures at discounts of up to 60 per cent.
The
industry earned the country £2.68billion in 2013 alone.
The
most popular procedure in Thailand is dental work such as teeth veneers but
customers can purchase packages for breast implants, face lifts and even hip
replacements.
Young
British women are increasingly going to extreme lengths to get the perfect
bottom.
Inspired
by the likes of Kim Kardashian more women are undergoing surgery in order to
get the same gravity-defying look.
Research
from whatclinic.com, a private healthcare search engine, shows that enquiries
for buttock augmentation surgery have doubled in a year.
Figures
for the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) show that fat
transfer operations - where fat from the stomach and thigh is removed and
reinserted into the buttocks - have risen 13 per cent.
