Aussie Mum's Vietnam Holiday Nightmare After Cosmetic Surgery
8 Dec
Summary
- Australian mother in critical condition after cosmetic surgery in Vietnam.
- Her organs began shutting down hours after the procedure.
- Family is fundraising $125,000 for an air ambulance home.
A planned family holiday across Southeast Asia took a critical turn for a young Australian mother in Vietnam. Following rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty procedures in Da Nang, the 31-year-old experienced organ failure just hours after being discharged from the clinic.
She spent two weeks on life support in a coma. While now conscious, she remains in intensive care, requiring dialysis and blood transfusions, with a long recovery ahead. Her family is now focused on raising funds for an expensive air ambulance to transport her back to Australia.
The family has launched a fundraiser aiming for $125,000 to cover the air ambulance costs, with a police investigation reportedly underway into the incident. Da Nang is known for its more affordable cosmetic surgery options compared to Australia.
