Lady Who Died After Brazilian Bum Lift Had Wanted World’s Most Deadly Cosmetic Surgery.

A woman who died after having a £3,000 “Brazilian bum lift” in Turkey had wanted the “world’s most deadly cosmetic surgery” for ages, an inquest has heard.

Leah Cambridge, from Leeds, West Yorks in England, collapsed shortly after the operation at the clinic.

The 29-year-old is said to have arranged to have the surgery through a firm named Elite Aftercare, which acts as a go-between linking clients and surgeons.

Wakefield Coroner’s Court had previously been told how she travelled to Izmir in August last year to have the “butt lift”, but died following complications in the procedure.

During a pre-inquest review hearing today, the mum-of-three’s partner, Scott Franks, revealed how she had been interested in having the surgery for some time.

He said: “She spoke with me regarding it on several occasions, and it was obvious that she was quite interested in doing it for some time.

“Obviously she’s booked it and just gone, and that’s it, she’s gone.”

Mr Franks also said his girlfriend, who has three boys, was told that she would need to put on just over a stone (7kg) prior to having the work done.

Speaking about Ms Cambridge, the family’s representative Richard Paige told the inquest: “This was very much done on her own volition.”

Mr Paige also quoted a report from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (Baaps) which suggests that the “Brazilian buttock lift” has the highest death rate, believed to be as high as one in every 3,000 operations, of all cosmetic surgery procedures.
