It’s amazing I’m alive after blood leaked from my dodgy BBL & my breast BURST OPEN following Turkey ‘mummy makeover’

JADE Tyler could picture her new hourglass body: pert boobs, a curvy bum, an iron-flat tummy, and nipped-in waist.

All the drooping, saggy bits, gone – banished by a miracle “mummy makeover” surgery in Turkey – and soon she would have a body just like Kylie Jenner’s.

The procedure is gruelling, a combination of a breast lift and implants, lipo 360 – in which fat is removed from the front of the body, sides, and back – a tummy tuck as well as a Brazilian butt lift.

It sounds dangerous – and it is.

It was the Brazilian butt lift alone that killed 26-year-old Demi Agoglia, a mum-of-three from Salford, who died in January, just three days after “high-risk” surgery carried out at a clinic in Turkey.

It was a procedure which a coroner has branded “barbaric,” and the inquest into Demi’s death heard how there was no proper pre-or post-op care for the mum, or “proper informed consent.”

Jade’s own procedure quickly turned into a living nightmare. 

One breast had to later be “amputated” due to an infection ravaging her body and she was left with a gaping hole in her back.

A “new” belly button was created. The old belly button was now gone, but the piercing that had been on it was now positioned just above her crotch.

Almost a year on, she’s still unable to sit down without discomfort.

When she came round after the nine-hour surgery in indescribable pain, she was certain she would die.

“When I woke up, I didn’t feel alive,” recalls Jade.

“I don’t know what happened down there, but I was in a terrible way.

“I developed an infection that was eating me alive. It was hell. I said to my nephew, who was with me: ‘I feel like I died and they brought me back to life.'”

It was two days after the surgery when terrifying black dots started to appear on her right nipple – the start of necrosis, where the body’s tissue begins to die.

Then, two months later, the bottom of her breast burst open and doctors back in the UK had no option but to remove it.

But when she thinks of tragic Demi, Jade, who says she too wasn’t properly informed and received poor care both before and after her surgery, considers herself lucky.

“When I read about what happened to the poor woman who died after the Brazilian butt lift, I was horrified,” says Jade.

“I thought, that could have been me. I’ve been through it – don’t do it.

Jade, 31, who is single and works part-time in catering, is speaking out about her horrifying experience in Turkey to warn other women who might also be tempted to have a mummy makeover.

Last March, Kaydell Brown, a 38-year-old mum-of-two from Sheffield, South Yorks, who had travelled to Turkey for the extensive procedure, died on the operating table.

Earlier this month, Holly Guest, a 31-year-old mum-of-three from Grimsby, Lincolnshire, said she collapsed eight times and underwent four blood transfusions after a similar surgery in Turkey.

Jade is a mum to five children, aged one to 14, and while she quickly regained her size eight figure after the births of her first four children, after her fifth pregnancy, her body changed.

“After the first four, I didn’t have a single stretch mark,” she says.

“Then I had the fifth one and this time I put on weight. I went from a size eight to a size 14 and had a big overhang.”

Jade hated her new body and while scrolling through Instagram one day, she saw advertisements for “mummy makeovers” in Turkey.

The whole package, including flights and hotel expenses, would cost £5,300.

Jade raised £1,000 herself, while members of her family paid the rest.

She flew out to Istanbul with her 16-year-old nephew on January 4 this year.

On the plane, Jade felt more excited than nervous.

She arrived at the clinic the next morning and that’s when her fears started to kick in.

“It was a dark, gloomy-looking place in a back street,” she says.

“I was taken to a room and told to put on a hospital gown. A man came down with a pen. I’ve no idea if he was a doctor, he barely spoke to me.

“He drew lines on my body where I’d be having the surgery. He didn’t explain anything about the operation. No one ever took my blood pressure.

“I was given a form and told to sign it. He said: ‘It’s in Turkish, but please sign.’

“I have no idea what it said, but I signed – I didn’t see what else I could do.

“He said: ‘We’ll be back down in ten minutes.’ He only spoke a little bit of English and didn’t say if he was a doctor.

“When he returned, he pulled my bed into the corridor and left me for half an hour.

I was on my own and feeling really scared. I was thinking: ‘oh my God, what’s going to happen to me?’ It felt slap dash.”

When Jade came round, the pain was instant.

“I was holding on to both sides of the bed in agony,” she recalls.

“It’s weird, I felt like I’d died. Nobody came to comfort me, nobody. They didn’t give a damn.

“You can’t lie on your side, because you’ve had your boobs done. You can’t lie on your belly, because you’ve had a tummy tuck.

“And your whole back is in agony because you’ve had liposuction.

“And my bum – oh my God. There was no way to sit or to lie comfortably – it was a disaster.

I looked down and there were puddles of blood around me.

“All I could do was say: ‘Help me, help me,’ and they’d give me painkillers, but nothing worked.”

As part of the arrangement, Jade had to leave the clinic two days after her op and return to her hotel to rest for five more days, before flying home.

As a taxi driver pushed her out of the clinic in her wheelchair, her nephew was horrified to see a trail of blood following her.

“I looked down and there were puddles of blood around me. The taxi man took me back in and said we need to do something,” says Jade.

“Where they’d done the Brazilian butt lift, there must have been a hole where they had injected the fat they’d taken from my tummy and that hole was leaking blood from the top of my bum.

“They bent me over the bed and started fiddling about. I felt a sharp pain and I said to my nephew: ‘What was that?’ and he said: ‘They’ve stitched you up’.

“I’ve no idea how they did it but I don’t think I was given anaesthetic.”

Jade was then sent away again and says the following five days in the hotel were a living hell.

“My nephew had to do everything for me – sit me on the toilet, take me off the toilet.

I was in agony. I thought I was going to die, that I’d never see my kids again.

“I was still wearing my hospital gown, which was soaked in blood.

“I was in agony. I thought I was going to die, that I’d never see my kids again.

“I spoke to my mum and dad a couple of times. I couldn’t bear to speak to them because every time we spoke I thought it was the last time.”

Two days after the surgery, Jade was horrified to see the black dots on one of her nipples but was told it was a “normal” part of healing.

Jade was alarmed, too, to see her newly rebuilt tummy.

Her belly button had been taken off during the tummy tuck and a new one created, which was now on her crotch.

After five days at the hotel, Jade flew home, still in agony.

“At the airport they took one look at me and said, you’re not fit to fly,” she says.

“I was in a wheelchair, my head was all floppy. After the surgery you have to wear this special tight suit and it was soaked in blood.

“On the plane, I actually thought I was dying.”

Three days after she arrived home, Jade’s breast turned black.

She sent photos to the clinic, but once again was told it was normal.

“They said it was fine and that ‘this happens sometimes,’” she says.

“But after two weeks I started really getting sick, so I went to the doctor.

“They took one look at me and said they needed to refer me to a breast clinic in Stevenage as I had something called necrosis.”

Jade was given antibiotics and steroids and cleaned her breast regularly. But worse was to come.

“My breast started bursting from the bottom,” says Jade.

“They kept cleaning and dressing it for two months. It went bright red, I couldn’t even touch it.”

The flesh was dead, it smelt like a dead body. It was deteriorating each day.

Then the bottom of Jade’s nipple split, she panicked and drove to a clinic in Chelmsford.

For a month, this clinic treated her, but the situation was now dire.

“The flesh was dead, it smelt like a dead body,” says Jade.

“It was deteriorating each day. A surgeon came down to see me and said, we’ve got to remove it now. I was devastated.”

The next day, Jade had the operation.

“I woke up and my right breast was basically amputated and covered in bandages,” she says.

“There was a tiny, tiny little piece of boob left. They took everything away, even my real tissue, because the infection was so bad.

“They said that I’d had 14 different bugs in my system, so I was happy to get it out. But when I saw it I was devastated.

Jade was now desperate to have her right breast reconstructed.

Unable to get the surgery on the NHS, she says she had no option but to return to Turkey.

“It was the same company, but a different surgeon, different hospital, different hotel,” says Jade, who flew out in October.

“They didn’t charge me. They knew what they’d done.
I was terrified. I got on the plane and I was petrified.

“I had a breast reconstruction, an implant, and it went OK. But they made the nipple out of part of my hip, which they didn’t tell me they were going to do.

So I woke up and my hips were bleeding.

“They also moved the nipple again from my other breast, I guess to make them look the same.

It’s dangerous, it’s life-threatening, I could have died out there.

“They didn’t tell me this before the operation. When I woke up I was shocked.”

Today, Jade still suffers pain.

“I’ve got a nice big round bum, but I can only sit on it for maybe half an hour before it starts aching,” she says.

“And I’m suffering a lot of mental stress.”

She adds: “It’s dangerous, it’s life-threatening, I could have died out there. I feel lucky. I appreciate every day I have now.

“If I could turn back the clock, I would never have done it, no way.

“I have five beautiful children, I think: ‘What did I do it for?’ My kids could have lost their mum.

“I would say to anyone thinking of having it done, don’t do it, just don’t do it.”
