Sarah Pratt travels to Türkiye for cosmetic surgery
A woman has said she nearly died after undergoing a so-called botched cosmetic surgery procedure in Turkey.
Sarah Pratt is suing Magic Touch and her surgeon, Dr. Hakan Olmezturk, for alleged medical malpractice. She claims to have been “slaughtered” in Antalya. The 33-year-old was left with “dead” breast tissue and a “gaping scar” on her stomach after several surgeries that cost £13,000 in February, she claims. . She has undergone nine NHS surgeries to repair her damage, she claims.
The mother of four claimed that they were giving a false sense of security by saying the surgery was safe. Sarah said she was told there were no risks to the surgery. But 10 months later, Sarah, from Bridgend, South Wales, claims she needs further reconstructive surgery.
Sarah says MPs have not responded to her pleas to cancel the Magic Touch event. She added: “I can’t believe they’re allowed to do this.” The first hearing in Sara’s case will be held in Istanbul next month. Magic Touch said it has provided all necessary consent forms from Pratt and will simply connect patients and providers.
The spokesperson added: “The narrative surrounding Ms. Pratt’s story appears to be changing from stage to stage.”
A Mirror investigation has revealed that a Turkish medical company is offering cheap plastic surgery in time for Christmas, raising safety concerns for British patients. The deal was promoted at an event in Hull, where dental and cosmetics company MagicTouch offered free consultations to people interested in a treatment trip to Turkey.
The Mirror asked about undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). At least three British nationals have died after going to Turkey for surgery. During the 30-minute consultation, “patient coordinator” Seville admitted he was not a licensed medical doctor, but had the audacity to outline a treatment plan for a “butt implant” to a reporter. He suggested discounts on flights, advising people to book by January to avoid price increases, and said they could be implemented as early as December 22.
She said that buttock enlargement surgery is “very popular” in Turkey because it is “expensive in the UK” and that despite the serious risks associated with it, she has “never” had an implant fail. he claimed. Professor Mani Raghubir, president of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons, said he was “very concerned” about our findings.
He said: “We shouldn’t force people into surgery. Saying you can come in now and avoid next month’s price increase is not what we’re advocating, and we’re not complacent. It’s just bad habit. ” Risks to be highlighted include the possibility of embolism, infection, bleeding, scarring, wound healing problems, and hip “asymmetry.”
Last year, Turkey welcomed 1.2 million British medical tourists and is on track to surpass that number in 2023, reaching 746,290 in the first half of this year. The cost to the NHS to fix failed surgeries was £1.7m in 2022, a 35% increase on 2021. The British government has said it will meet with Turkish authorities to discuss regulations. Since 2019, at least 25 British nationals have died after traveling for medical treatment. Magic Touch offers a wide range of procedures including breast augmentation, liposuction, and facelifts. They did not respond to the concerns raised in our investigation.
