    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
