A woman who died from a botched Brazilian butt lift in Turkey wasn't warned of the risks associated with the procedure, it has emerged.<\/p>\n
Melissa Kerr, 31, passed away on the operating table after she forked out \u00a33,200 to have the surgery at Medicana Kadikoy hospital in Istanbul in November 2022.<\/p>\n
Leading up to the operation Ms Kerr shared messages with a hospital worker, asking for photos of other patients and stating she was nervous.<\/p>\n

And as the operation took place, fat taken from Ms Kerr's body entered a vein and blocked her pulmonary artery after it was injected into her buttocks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The cause of her tragic death was recorded as a pulmonary thromboembolism, Norfolk\u2019s Coroner\u2019s Court heard.<\/p>\n
Consultant plastic surgeon Simon Withey, an expert witness asked to prepare a report for Ms Kerr's inquest, said the death rate associated with Brazilian butt lifts was, shockingly, "likely to be in excess of one in 4,000".<\/p>\n
He added it was "quite possible" that had Ms Kerr been warned of the danger associated with the procedure "before she was financially committed to proceed, she would not have done [it]."<\/p>\n

Ms Kerr's devastated partner, Skye Birch, previously posted an emotional tribute to Facebook following her death. <\/p>\n
Sharing a series of snaps of the couple, he wrote: "I will continue to love you with all my heart until my last breath.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recording a narrative conclusion, Norfolk\u2019s senior coroner Jacqueline Lake said the mental health counsellor died after cosmetic surgery.<\/p>\n
"Ms Kerr wasn\u2019t seen by a surgeon or clinician prior to the date of the procedure. Ms Kerr underwent a limited assessment prior to the procedures," the coroner continued.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Ms Kerr was provided with limited information regarding the risks and mortality rate associated with this procedure."<\/p>\n
She then addressed Ms Kerr's family, who listened to the proceedings online, and said she planned to write to the Health Secretary Steve Barclay concerning their deceased loved one's case.<\/p>\n
"There has been the release of an international alert to surgeons regarding the high mortality rate associated with this procedure," she explained.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"There has also been the introduction of a voluntary moratorium on this type of procedure in the UK.<\/p>\n
"These are clearly not being followed in Turkey. I\u2019m concerned patients are not being made aware of the risks or the mortality rate associated with such surgery.<\/p>\n
"I don\u2019t have any authority over hospitals in Turkey and I also appreciate the UK Government has no control (over) what happens in other countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"However, the danger our citizens will continue to travel abroad for such procedures continues, though citizens are unaware of the risks involved.<\/p>\n
"I do have concerns there will be future deaths and I\u2019m of the view future deaths can be prevented by way of better information.<\/p>\n
"I do propose making a report to the Secretary for Health, who I believe could take action to prevent future deaths."<\/p>\n
