AN INSTAGRAM model has tragically died after getting Brazilian bum lift surgery in Turkey.
Ngone Ndiaye sparked concern after her family lost contact with her when she travelled to the country for the dangerous procedure.
Her grieving mum confirmed that she was hoping to have surgery to fix a problem linked to a Brazilian Butt Lift, otherwise known as a BBL.
A BBL is used to make the bum look bigger, rounded and lifted.
Surgeons transfer fat, inject filler or insert silicone-filled implants.
Ngone had nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram and was renowned for her fashion content online.
In 2008 she was crowned Miss Pikine after she represented her home city of Pikine, Senegal, West Africa.
She had worked with many local stylists and participated in various cultural events.
Ngone lived in France before she died.
After her remains were returned to Senegal, her grieving family and friends gathered to pay their final respects, local media reports.
Many other young women have fallen ill or died from BBL surgery in Turkey.
Demi Agoglia, 26, died from complications after a botched BBL in Turkey in January last year.
The mother of three sadly lost her life in Turkey following a “barbaric” procedure. A coroner stated that the tragedy was due in part to negligence, citing a lack of proper pre-operative care and guidance.
Demi travelled to Turkey for the operation after seeing celebrity endorsements for Istanbul-based Comfort Zone Surgery on social media.
Similarly, Hayley Dowell, 38, died following a BBL in Turkey after the surgeon walked out halfway through the op, an inquest heard.
She passed just hours later after suffering an embolism while recovering at the BHT Clinic in Istanbul.
In August last year, Kaydell Brown, 38 died after paying £5,400 for the procedure, as well as a tummy tuck and a boob job.
Brazilian butt-lifts, also known as buttock augmentation procedures, involve injecting fat or filler into the bum to shape it.
But wrongly injecting too deep into the buttock can pump chemicals into the bloodstream and cause deadly clots, infections or sepsis.
They can also go wrong if the anaesthetic is botched or people have an allergic reaction.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT’S important to do your research if you’re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.
