Young woman dies of multiple organ failure 'caused by a nose job gone wrong'

A young woman has died of multiple organ failure allegedly caused by a nose job gone wrong.

University student Leyla Sonmez, 24, underwent rhinoplasty surgery in Adana, Turkey.

Voice recordings she sent to a friend after the operation reportedly say Leyla started to spit blood and suffered severe abdominal pain.

In this voicemail which emerged online, she reportedly said: "I haven't slept during the night. I was very uncomfortable and even passed out a few times.

"Blood is coming out of my nose and mouth. I think I could have surgery again.

"I have a problem with my heart. That's why I had bruises on my hands and feet. My blood circulation is bad and my face is stiff."

But her family claim they were assured by a doctor she would soon be back on her feet despite complications.

According to the family, hospital staff told them: "She is fine. She will be discharged soon."

But Leyla's condition worsened and a few days later she was transferred to a hospital where she suffered a cardiac arrest.

Although medics managed to restart her heart, it was then discovered that she was suffering from multiple organ failure and she was immediately taken to the intensive care unit.

Leyla tragically passed away on February 3, 2019.

Her father Ali Haydar Sonmez claimed that his daughter's death was caused by negligence and has now filed a criminal complaint through his lawyers.

The plastic surgeon who performed the operation did not accept the allegations and claimed that the student’s braces might have caused the infection, according to reports.

An autopsy performed at the Forensic Medicine Institute showed that there was no negligence in Sonmez’s death and the prosecutor's office decided not to sue the hospital and doctor in question.

Upon this decision, the devastated family submitted a petition to the Adana Criminal Judgeship of Peace demanding for the issue to be resolved in court.Follow the Official Rokna NEWS Telegram Channel For More and fresh NEWS.
