Mother left 'rotting' and in 'burning pain' after botched tummy tuck in Turkey was traumatised AGAIN when panicked surgeon tried to fix the damage while she was still awake Sara Platt, 33, from South Wales, travelled to Turkey for surgery after weight loss READ MORE: Botched Turkish plastic surgery costs NHS £94m a year and leaves 'old ladies stuck in hospital corridors while doctors treat bad boob jobs', UK surgeon warns as he calls for botched 'victims' to PAY for their treatment By Maria Chiorando For Mailonline Published: 10:27 EDT, 20 August 2024 | Updated: 10:27 EDT, 20 August 2024 e-mail 8 View comments A woman who made the life-changing choice to have surgery in Turkey has revealed how the botched operation has left her in so much pain, at times she has wanted 'to die' and at one point was hospitalised with psychosis caused by the realisation of the extent of the disfigurement. According to a report by ITV, Sara Platt, 33, from South Wales, had an operation in 2021 in Turkey to reduce the size of her stomach. She went on to lose 12 stone, but was left with excess skin, causing sores and an unpleasant smell, as it rubbed together.
Her only option to get rid of the skin was further surgery, but as she was not able to have the operation on the NHS , she says getting it done privately would cost around £33,000 in the UK. Instead, she researched, and found a surgeon in Turkey, who had numerous five-star reviews (which Sara now believes are fake) who would perform the loo.
