LAGOS (MandyNews.com) – A Nigerian social media influencer, whose identity has yet to be disclosed, has tragically passed away after complications arose from a liposuction surgery, as information obtained by MandyNews.com.
The incident has sparked concerns over the safety and regulation of cosmetic procedures in Nigeria.
The influencer underwent the liposuction surgery at a local medical facility, and the initial recovery seemed promising.
Four days after the procedure, she was preparing to be discharged from the hospital. However, early in the morning, around 5 a.m., she began experiencing breathing difficulties.
Hospital staff quickly responded to her distress, administering oxygen and other treatments in an effort to stabilize her condition.
According to a source who spoke with MandyNews.com, the influencer showed signs of improvement, but the medical team was hesitant to release her due to her unstable condition and possible past medical history.
Seeking further assistance, the hospital contacted an external facility, presumably an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), to provide additional support.
The patient was subsequently transferred to this external facility while still alive and conscious, even managing to converse and inquire about her phone’s whereabouts.
The source, who claims to have witnessed the incident, stated that the influencer was alive when she left the hospital and that if anything happened to her, it must have occurred at the external facility.
It is also reported that the hospital staff recorded videos of the patient during her time at the medical center.
The influencer’s untimely death has led to calls for increased scrutiny of cosmetic procedures and the facilities that provide them.
As the Nigerian cosmetic surgery industry continues to grow, so too must the regulations and oversight to ensure patient safety and proper care.
Further investigation into this tragic incident is ongoing, and more details are expected to emerge as the story unfolds.
For now, the Nigerian social media community mourns the loss of a vibrant and influential personality, taken too soon by a procedure gone wrong.
