A Mexican nurse has died after attempting to perform a liposuction procedure on herself at a south-central facility in Mexico called Clinica Amper.
The woman, identified only as Carina, was found unconscious in a doctor’s office after allegedly attempting liposuction on her stomach, a process that removes excess fat from the midsection
According to Carina’s employer and owner of the clinic, Dr. Rolando Samper Mendoza, the victim performed the surgery ‘without his authorization and permission’ in his absence.
“One of my nurses named Carina … decided on her own to perform abdominal liposuction with local anesthetic,” Mendoza said while expressing remorse over the incident.
“The result of this incomprehensible action was that she died as a result of the massive absorption of anesthetic that she administered herself.”
A co-worker was said to have alerted paramedics, who tried to revive Carina, however, she died when they got to the clinic, ‘Clinica Amper’, which is located in south-central Mexico.
Mexico has long been a country where people flock to undergo various cosmetic surgeries due to lower costs associated with procedures.
