A four -year -old mother who died almost after undergoing a failed cosmetic surgery abroad is considered the first Brit to raise their Turkish doctor, MailOnline can reveal.
Sara Platt, from Bridgen, Zuid -Wales, lagged so much pain behind that she 'wanted to die' and was later admitted to psychosis after a Turkish surgeon tried to carry out a loose skin removal for her stomach, as well as a breast and implant.
Although at least 28 British people have died – and much more were seriously injured – by Dodgy Turkish treatments since 2019, Mrs. Platt claims to be the first to Klood their surgeon.
The mother flew to Turkey for the first time in 2021 to reduce the size of her stomach. She lost 12 stones, but the failed operation left her excess skin, causing ulcers and an unpleasant scent.
Unable to pay the expensive private removal removal in the UK, she returned to Turkey in February 2023, where it cost £ 15,000 compared to £ 33,000 in a private British facility, she claimed.
It was on her second journey where her pressed operation left her on the edge of death.
Exclusively to MailOnline, she said: 'I don't want this to happen to another person. So this is why I take it completely going on.
'I also want to show the Turkish surgeon that they cannot get away with it. There are too many people who have changed their lives worse. I kept living for three days. I suffer from nightmares every night. I have extreme PTSD. '
“If someone touches my stomach right away, I can feel pain and that will be with me forever.”

The mother says she is hurt immediately when someone touches her stomach
She says she was told that she only had three days to live after the second operation of the Turkish surgeon
When Mrs. Platt returned to Turkey, she said that she was 'naive' and 'desperate' and was also told by the operation, which had countless five -star reviews, she could recover in the sun of the country.
After her skin removal operation, she continued to 'rot' in pain in a dingy hotel with brown liquid that seeped out of her body and left a piece of fat in the middle of her chest.
Nine days later the same Turkish surgeon decided to perform a different procedure, “to solve his mess,” she said.
She stayed awake and shouted with pain while the surgeon struck a 'big lump' of fat and skin, with only local anesthesia.
She says that she remains haunted by the experience, where she felt that her skin was on fire, after the surgeon used a 'burning tool'.
The mother received a fit-to-fly certificate and returned home, where she was treated in the Morriston Hospital in Swansea.
She spent eight weeks in the Welsh Center for burns and plastic surgery and has since had 10 corrective operations on the NHS, including a skin transplant on her stomach.
'I had done my full research and even flew away to make sure I made the right choice. I visited the clinic and met the surgeon twice. I really trusted this man and he almost killed me. '
The mother takes legal steps against the surgeon and hopes that his license will be withdrawn.
As part of the legal proceedings, it will have to be investigated by Turkish doctors.
“Going back is scared to me,” she said.
“I can't even think of Turkey. It brings back so many bad memories and feelings, although I don't have that open wound on my stomach, I can still feel that. I am very afraid of my PTSD.
She said to MailOnline: 'I don't want this to happen to another person. So this is why I am fully struggling '
Mrs. Platt returned to Turkey for an excess skin removal operation, but was left with serious scars
She paid £ 15,000 for the skin removal procedure in Turkey, but eventually needed 10 corrective operations on the NHS
In addition to left with scars, the mother of four said she suffered to PTSD after the operation
'But I know I have to do it because I can't let them win.
Mrs. Platt has set up a GoFundMe fundraising to help with the costs of flights and accommodation, while undergoing an 'intimidating, tiring and financial crashing' legal battle.
She says that she wants to increase consciousness of the dangers of surgery 'that are often hidden behind attractive prices, approval of celebrities and glamorous marketing'.
She added: 'I don't care if I don't get a cent. It is the fact that I need justice and I want to prevent the surgeon from doing it to someone else.
'I try to increase consciousness. I try to argue against the bad surgeons in Turkey. '
The surgeon has been contacted for comment.
