Police are investigating how a woman died when her condition deteriorated ‘catastrophically’ two days after she underwent full-body liposuction at a Russian clinic.
Anna Andrea, 47, had fat removed from her face, neck, chin, breasts, abdomen, hips, flanks, back, inner and outer thighs, buttocks, knees, calves and ankles in one procedure.
A top Russian plastic surgeon Maria Burlova, head of the Abriell clinic, performed the operation in St. Petersburg, but now faces a prison sentence.
The husband and daughter of the deceased woman said they were not told when she was rushed to a government hospital as complications arose two days after the procedure.
