Woman, 32, loses breast and is left with hump after flying to Turkey for surgery

A woman claims she lost her right breast and was left fighting for life after undergoing 'botched' cosmetic surgery in Turkey. Sara Platt, 32, splashed out £14,000 for a tummy tuck, breast implant and three other procedures through a cosmetic surgery agency in Antalya earlier this year.

However the mum-of-four claims she was left mutilated by the 13-hour operation which caused her right breast to necrose and 'die' and left a gaping, infected wound in her stomach. She claims that after the op she was rushed into surgery after brown liquid started to ooze from the wound and she was left awake as surgeons burnt away the infected flesh.

She admitted lying to the doctor about giving him a positive review as she feared she would not be allowed to fly home if she didn't. After returning to the UK she was rushed to hospital after her wound became infected and has needed eight operations to save her life.
