Mummy Makeover Nightmare: Sepsis After Turkey Surgery
2 Dec, 2025
Summary
- A £7,300 'mummy makeover' in Turkey led to sepsis.
- The patient spent two months in hospital fearing she'd never walk.
- She warns others against the procedure due to its risks.
A 30-year-old woman, Kayleigh Lewis, sought a 'mummy makeover' in Turkey to address post-pregnancy body insecurities, costing £7,300. The procedure, which included a BBL, tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast implants, resulted in her contracting sepsis.
Following surgery, Kayleigh experienced extreme pain and immobility. Despite her condition, she claims she was issued a 'fit to fly' notice and returned to the UK. Upon arrival, she was hospitalized with sepsis, a life-threatening infection, leading to an extensive two-month hospital stay.
Now recovered, Kayleigh regrets the surgery and warns others about the severe risks. Medical entities involved have offered conflicting statements regarding communication and the issuance of the 'fit to fly' document.
