What happened to Hayley Dowell?: Hayley Dowell, a 38-year-old British woman, died after undergoing Brazilian butt-lift (BBL) surgery at a private clinic in Turkey. Her husband claims the clinic did not fully explain the risks, and the surgeon left mid-operation.
What caused Hayley Dowell's death?: The inquest heard that Mrs. Dowell suffered a fatal embolism, a potentially deadly blood clot. Her husband also noted a significant discrepancy in the operation's length, as it was considerably shorter than anticipated.
What procedures did Hayley Dowell undergo?: The surgery package, costing over \u00a37,000, included a BBL, tummy tuck, and liposuction. Mrs. Dowell's husband reported concerns about the lack of risk disclosure and the surgeon leaving the procedure incomplete.
What concerns were raised by Hayley Dowell's husband?: The BHT Clinic in Istanbul, where the surgery took place, is popular among British medical tourists seeking lower costs. However, the incident raises concerns about safety standards and informed consent in overseas cosmetic procedures.
What actions will be taken following Hayley Dowell's death?: Concerns have been raised about the lack of information provided to Mrs. Dowell regarding the risks involved in the procedures. The coroner will investigate the information she received and the circumstances surrounding her death and will produce a Prevention of Future Deaths report.
