'I got a hyaluronic acid BBL – six days later, I was on the brink of death from sepsis'
A woman has been left traumatised after undergoing a hyaluronic acid BBL that went horribly wrong.
The patient had filler injected into her buttocks but suffered serious complications.
Just six days after, she rushed to A&E, where doctors told her that had a major haematoma, which is when blood pools inside the body.
The BBL practitioner had allegedly injected one of the patient’s veins, causing a bleed that resulted in sepsis.
“The doctor told me if I hadn’t gotten to the hospital when I had that I would be dead,” the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told NeedToKnow.
“When I arrived at the hospital, I was seriously unwell, delirious and unable to stand or walk.
“Surgeons arrived and confirmed I had sepsis and that I’d be going straight down for an emergency, if not life-saving, surgery.
“I was taken down to theatre not really knowing what was going on and I woke up three hours later.
“I spent two weeks in hospital, bed-bound and on a lot of medication with a lot of care.
“After two weeks I was allowed home but had daily checks from the district nurses.
“It was like this for the next five months.
“I was unable to live a normal life – I couldn’t bath or do any activities.
“At this point, I would say I was at my lowest mentally.
“I was embarrassed.”
The filler had also seeped into the woman’s leg, which lead to another infection and an additional ten days in hospital.
The surgeons were forced to remove all of the filler, which left the patient disfigured.
In images provided, her buttocks appear visibly uneven and her skin is sagging.
Once out of hospital and desperate to get her body back to normality, she looked for options to get her bum back to its previous shape.
She booked a consultation with Dr Ducu, a highly regarded aesthet
