Heartbroken husband of Jean Huang who died from a botched boob job opens up on his anguish

The husband of a woman who died after a botched breast enlargement procedure has expressed his anguish in a heartbreaking statement read out in court.

Jean Huang, 35, died of a narcotic overdose administered by Jie Shao, who was not a registered doctor in Australia, at a Chippendale beauty clinic in 2017.

Ms Shao, 40, was found guilty of manslaughter following a three-week trial held at Sydney’s Downing Center District Court in March. A sentencing hearing was held on Friday.

The court heard Shao administered Tramadol sourced from Portugal and not approved for use in Australia, the local anesthetic Lidocaine and a breast filler sourced from Korea and also not approved for use. Daily telegram reported.

During the procedure, Ms Huang slurred her words, foaming at the mouth and convulsing before an ambulance was called.

Paramedics were able to restart Ms Huang’s heart, but she was tragically declared brain dead at hospital.

Ms. Huang’s life support was turned off on September 1, 2017.

A jury found Shao guilty of manslaughter in March.

During Shao’s sentencing hearing on Friday, Crown Prosecutor Sara Gul said the case was serious and would require a prison sentence.

“(The) life of a much-loved, high-achieving and vibrant (woman) … was cut short,” she said.

She also told the court Shao, who had flown from China in the days before the operation, had her medical details misrepresented on WeChat.

The court heard emotional statements from Ms Huang’s beloved mother and husband, news.com.au reported.

Ms. Huang’s mother said she will remember her daughter as “smart, beautiful, kind, generous and funny.”

She also said she was “haunted” by memories of the moment she was told her daughter was dying, saying she never had the chance to say goodbye.

Ms. Huang’s husband also spoke of his fear.

“Every late night, the silence of the darkness outside prevents me from falling asleep,” he said.

“I can’t help but think about everything about my wife and me at any given moment.”

Ms. Shao, a Chinese citizen, has expressed deep remorse and acknowledged she was at least partly responsible for Ms Huang’s death, the court heard.

Shao’s lawyer, Winston Terracini SC, said his client blamed himself.

“Her death will stay with me for the rest of my life,” Mr. Terracini read from parts of a psychological report.

“It might not have happened if I hadn’t come to Australia.

‘I am not familiar with Australian ways and should not have agreed to them.

“I really regret coming to Australia.”

Judge Timothy Gartelmann reserved his judgment.

Shao will be sentenced on July 4.
