24 Year Old Woman's Breasts Rots Away After Botched Boob Job

Kirsty Adam a 24-year old from Glasgow
paid £6000 to UK company Transform
Medical Group to undergo mastopexy also
known as breast enhancement from a 36D
to a DD cup after weight loss caused her
boobs to sag.
The procedure went horribly wrong after
she was left with necrosis, a condition that
causes the death and decay of cells.
She lost her nipples as a result and has to
have them tattooed on while undergoing
laser treatment for scarring. Meanwhile, the
Romanian surgeon who carried out the
procedure, Dr Vana Vasilescu has left the UK
following an investigation which saw her
'erased' from the General Medical Council
register. Speaking about the ordeal, Kirsty
who works as a dental nurse said: 'I initially
did some research to see what I could do.
'I knew my breasts would have to be
cosmetically fixed and that surgery was the
only option - so I decided to get a
mastopexy.
'You hear more horror stories from people
that go abroad than you do in the UK. And I
thought I'd be safe here.
'You never think something bad is going to
happen to you, but obviously it did. I've
been left with lasting damage and it's even
worse than before.
'It sounds harsh but it looks like
somebody's hacked away at me with a
blunt, rusty knife.'
Kirsty's ordeal began in January 2015 when
she contacted one of UK's leading cosmetic
surgery provider, Transform over the
internet. She arranged a consultation and
soon after, she was sitting in a pre-surgery
assessment with Dr Vasilescu where the
doctor discussed the procedure and
showed her pictures of women who have
had similar treatments. She went under the
knife at BMI Kings Park Clinic in Glasgow on
July 2015 and went home a day after.
She returned to the clinic for post-op check
ups but felt something was wrong when
her nipples started dying.
Parts of her breasts turned black and
pieces of dying flesh had to be removed.
She said: 'After the surgery, I went to get
my dressings changed. The nurse said that
I had necrosis - rotting flesh.
'I knew this was possible from my research
because the nipples are getting taken off
and put back on and sometimes part of it
can not heal right.
'Every time I went back they took bits off. I
thought it was to help the skin regenerate
and grow again.
'I looked down at it and it was black. I
knew it shouldn't look that colour, but I
trusted the nurse.' She met with Dr
Vasilescu an August 16 and the surgeon
assured her that everything was in order
before putting a plaster back on the
wound.
But Kirsty raised concerns with the clinic
before demanding to see another surgeon
- and that was the last time she saw Dr
Vasilescu.
Kirsty said: 'She just took the plasters off
and pulled a face. She said it was "fine" and
put new plasters on it.
'I felt terrible. I knew something wasn't
right. I don't know if it was the language
barrier of whether it was ignorance, but
she just didn't seem to have any
compassion.
'I went out to reception to ask whether I
could see another surgeon because I
wasn't happy.
'I asked specifically not to see her and
never saw her after that.'
Another surgeon was then tasked with re-
examining her and he treated the wound
before putting Kirsty on a course of
antibiotics to stop the infection.
Kirsty said: 'I went to see another surgeon.
Straight away when he took the plasters
off, he said I need antibiotics because there
was an infection.
'He wrote me a prescription, cleaned it and
put plasters on it again.
'I started the antibiotics and was on them
for a week to clear the infection up.'
Dr Vasilescu eventually left the
establishment and Kirsty claims she
discovered other women had suffered at
the doctor's hands. Dr Vasilescu appeared
before an interim orders tribunal at the
Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service
(MPTS) on 8 August 2016 following an
investigation. She
was handed an interim suspension before
finally being erased from the register on 10
February 2017.
She is now no longer allowed to perform
surgeries in the UK continues to work her
home country of Romania and even
advertises her services on the internet.
Kirsty claims she was offered £250
compensation as a 'goodwill gesture' but
rejected the money.
She said: 'I have to get revision surgery
done because there is so much damage.
'Nothing is where it should be. Everything
is too high up. My breasts are really hard,
they're sore and I have no nipples.
'I've put on weight because of the stress
and not being able to keep active.
'Now it looks like somebody's hacked away
at me with a blunt, rusty knife.
'For £6,000 that shouldn't be the case - for
getting it done in the UK.
'It makes you lose faith in the health care
system and all these regulations that are
out there.
'I'm happy to speak out as long as it stops
other people from getting treated in this
way.'
Transform confirmed Dr Vasilescu no
longer works for them but they have
