Her family said she returned to the clinic for tests after the surgery in Istanbul, but then felt unwell.
She was taken to intensive care, but doctors were unable to save her and she was pronounced dead on Monday.
Demi, from Little Hulton, Salford, Manchester Gtr, died last Thursday despite doctors saying the operation was a success.
The mother-of-three, who gave birth to her youngest child just seven months ago, had flown to Turkey following previous failed dental treatments and other surgeries.
Today, her heartbroken brother Karl, 37, warned anyone thinking of going to Turkey for surgery: “Don’t do it!”
The father of four said: “What happened is tragic. We are just shocked. She has gone to Istanbul to end it.”
“Her partner is still overseas and his father has just flown out to be with him.
“If anyone is thinking of flying to Turkey for surgery, I would say don’t do it!
“But she’s 26 years old and has her own ideas. Her mother didn’t want her to go out either.
“I think there’s a coroner’s report over there, and her partner needs a death certificate before she can go home.
“She’s only 26 years old. She shouldn’t have died. She should never have. The risks are so high. She should never have died. She lost three children, including a seven-month-old baby. left behind a young child.
Her sister Georgina posted an emotional tribute video of Demi to TikTok.
“Yesterday I lost my sister. Demi, I miss you so much. Nothing feels real anymore. I wonder how I lost you.”
“I just want to hear you scream, it’s okay, Rkid, nothing will change without you, I love you, Demi X.”
Friends paid tribute to Demi today. Demi is the latest Briton to tragically die after undergoing cosmetic surgery in Turkey.
Megan Holland posted on Facebook: “Please shine so brightly on your beautiful sons, Demi Agoglia, and send them the strength they need to get through this. I can’t get you out of my head, you motherfuckers. We need to do more about it.” *Stupid company.
“You were already perfect, and now you’re not even here.”
Linda Breeze said, “Oh heartbroken Demi Agoglia, you were loved and will be missed by so many.”
Shelby Flanagan added, “What a cruel world we live in. Even if we haven’t talked much over the past year, we’ve made so many memories over the years!”
“Our younger years were full of crazy nights and pranks. You were the life of the party and a wild person who was very funny.
“Thinking of your little boys and your family and friends during this difficult time. Rest in peace Demi Agoria.”

Jab aimed at “celebrity rear” is the No. 1 risk
Written by Richard Moriarty
The Brazilian bum lift has one of the highest mortality risks of any cosmetic surgery procedure, but it’s becoming increasingly popular thanks to curvaceous celebrities.
In Turkey, the surgery costs £3,500, while in the UK it costs £10,000, with a mortality rate of more than one in every 4,000 operations, research has shown.
This involves inserting silicone implants or injecting fat from other parts of the body.
Melissa Kerr, 31, from Gorleston, Norfolk, died from a fatal blood clot in her lungs after a £3,200 operation in Istanbul in 2019.
Leah Cambridge, 29, suffered a blood clot after a £6,500 BBL in Turkey.
The mother-of-three, who lived in Leeds, died in 2018 after suffering three heart attacks after fat was accidentally injected into her veins.
In 2022, after a four-year suspension of BBL in the UK, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons recommended that surgeons only inject fat subcutaneously, rather than deep into the muscle.
What is a Brazilian Bum Lift?
The Brazilian butt lift has grown in popularity in recent years, thanks to curvaceous celebrities like Kim Karadashian.
BBL surgery (which costs around £3,500 in Turkey and £10,000 in the UK) carries the highest risks of all cosmetic surgery, with more than one death in every 4,000 procedures, according to medical research. It has been shown that
During this procedure, surgeons insert silicone-filled implants or inject fat grafted from other parts of the body.
Other British women who died after BBL in Turkey include Melissa Kerr, 31, from Gorleston, Norfolk, in 2019.
A fatal blood clot spread to his lungs after a £3,200 operation at an Istanbul clinic.
Leah Cambridge, 29, suffered a blood clot during a £6,500 Brazilian butt lift surgery in Turkey.
The mother-of-three, who lived in Leeds, died in August 2018 after having fat removed from her lower back and having injections in her buttocks.
However, she suffered fatal complications when fat was accidentally injected into her veins and she suffered three heart attacks on the operating table.
In 2022, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) issued new guidelines for its members, following a four-year suspension of BBL procedures in the UK due to concerns over mortality.
The journal recommends that surgeons inject only subcutaneous fat, rather than deep into the muscle as with BBL.
