A woman in China passed away after undergoing six cosmetic surgeries in a single day. The family members of the patient had filed an FIR against the clinic claiming negligence and improper care. They demanded compensation of USD 168,000. But they received only half of the requested amount in the settlement.
This case has sparked discussions about the risks associated with multiple surgical procedures and the growing demand for cosmetic enhancements in China.
As per sources, the woman identified as Liu, belonging to a rural area in Guigang, visited a clinic in Nanning on December 9, 2020. She also took out a loan of over 40,000 yuan (US$5,600) to finance the procedures. Liu first underwent double eyelid surgery and a nose job, which lasted five hours, followed by liposuction on her thighs the next morning. The extracted fat was then injected into her face and breasts in another five-hour procedure. However, just as Liu was discharged on December 11, she suddenly collapsed in the clinic’s lift. Despite emergency efforts by the clinic staff, Liu’s condition deteriorated rapidly. She was rushed to The Second Nanning People’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead later that afternoon.
Later, the autopsy report showed that she died from ”acute respiratory failure due to pulmonary embolism after liposuction”.
