Young Mother Dies After Contacting Surgeons For Buttocks Enlargement

A young Colombian mother has died after plastic surgery to enlarge her bottom went wrong and she was abandoned by doctors at A&E. Angie Carolina Mendoza, 23, died from a massive heart attack following a botched operation in Barranquilla, in Atlantico, north-east Colombia.

When medics at the plastic surgery clinic realised that something had gone wrong, they drove Ms Mendoza to the local hospital before fleeing the scene.

Ms Mendoza, who is survived by her one-year-old daughter and husband James Jimenez Polo, 30, had reportedly not told her family about the surgery.

After visiting the amateur plastic surgery clinic in Barranquilla in secret, she booked herself in for a bottom enlargement and met her untimely death.
