22-year-old Russia Woman Undergoing Buttock Enlargement Surgery Dies within 10 mins Of Being Given Anaesthetic

Authorities in Russia are probing the sudden death of a 22-year-old woman who died during buttock enlargement surgery by an 'unqualified' beautician who was her 'friend'.

The woman identified as Mika Shabasova was undergoing the procedure when she died 'ten minutes after she was administered local anaesthetic' for the procedure. 

 

She was dead before an ambulance arrived at the 'home surgery' of cosmetologist Uma M, who is now under house arrest.

'The beautician who was supposed to perform the operation, only recently received a certificate,' he said. 'She completed a two-week course and became a cosmetologist. Prior to that, she was doing lash extensions.'

Yet reports said she had no license for such cosmetic surgery.

The friend said: 'Mika went to her, because Uma is her friend, purely because of trust.'

Three days before the surgery she had a fever and she was off work.

'She lived with three girls in an apartment - they all tried to persuade her not to go to this beautician.'

He said that the woman 'secretly, when everyone was at home, simply left the house, rang a taxi and went for this surgery'.

She had previously had lips, nose, and chin procedures.

'These were with different anaesthetics. But within 15 minutes she was gone.'

Police questioned her friends, he said.
