A young woman has d!ed on the operating table after undergoing a nose job procedure from a doctor she solicited on social media in Italy
Margaret Spada, a 22-year-old from Lentini in Sicily, travelled to the unnamed clinic in Rome for a ‘touch-up’ on November 4 after spotting an advert for the facility on TikTok.
But she became gravely unwell shortly after being administered local anaesthetic and slipped into unconsciousness before the rhinoplasty began.
Multiple attempts to resuscitate Margaret were made but her situation rapidly worsened and she was rushed to hospital where she fell into a coma.
Three days later, Margaret died in her bed at the Sant’Eugenio hospital in Rome, according to La Repubblica.
‘The absurd thing is that it was a routine operation,’ said her family’s lawyer Alessandro Vinci.
‘That a 22-year-old girl returns home in a coffin is unacceptable for the family.’
In a heartbreaking twist, Margaret’s boyfriend, who was in the waiting area when her condition deteriorated, was taken into the operating room to see his girlfriend as she fell unconscious.
Horrified by the scene, he decided to film a short clip of what unfolded in the operation room – footage that is now being reviewed by investigators as part of a manslaughter investigation, according to La Sicilia.
Margaret reportedly found the clinic that performed her nose job through a sponsored advert on social media.
She had travelled to Rome from her small Sicilian community to have the procedure.
The entire community of Lentini has been left shaken by the devastating news of her death.
