Cynosure Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinics, a Lagos-based medical facility, has finally broken its silence the death of one of its clients.
Recall that 20-year old lady identified a Destiny Jojo who reportedly underwent cosmetic surgery in Lagos, died after the procedure went wrong.
However, the new of the Destiny who had visited the facility for a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, made the rounds on Wednesday, March 15.
Following her un expected death, her close friends took to social media and disclosed that after the surgery, she was supposed to be discharged on the fourth day but developed some complications with her breathing.
Netizens accused the hospital of negligence and called on the government and the appropriate authorities to shut down the hospital permanently to prevent further deaths.
Following the ruckus on media, Cynosure Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinics took to their official instagram account to clear the on the allegations and misinformation surrounding Destiny’s death.
It stated that a CT Pulmonary Angiogram was conducted on the deceased when she arrived at the intensive care unit ICU “and the result showed there was no pulmonary embolism.”
The hospital further debunked claim that the lady died in their facility, disclosing that she passed away at the ICU specialist hospital she was referred to.
Read the statement
“Good day everyone. On the March 14, 2023, we made a
press release regarding the current issue making rounds
on social media. We, once again, deeply commiserate with
the family of the deceased. It has become necessary to
clear the air on some misinformation and wrong
assumptions. We are aware that it is reasonable to
speculate that fat embolism was the most likely cause of her sudden onset of breathlessness.
However, we wish to state the following:
“A CT Pulmonary Angiogram (CPA) was conducted the
same day the client arrived at the ICU and the result showed there was NO PULMONARY EMBOLISM. BY the way, a CPA is the gold standard for diagnosing PULMONARY EMBOLISM (whether for fat, blood clot or air embolism).
“Till date, we have no records of pulmonary embolism of
any kind, to the glory of God, despite the number of
surgeries done so far. The deceased was the third client to
ever be referred to an ICU with the previous two, being
successfully managed at the same reputable ICU Hospital which is within 10 mins drive from our facility.
“Samples have been sent for COVID-19 testing on account
of her recent travel history, as well as some features seen
on the CTPA. We enjoin the general public to show more
respect to the family of the deceased and refrain from
sharing the extremely sensitive videos which have been released by her ‘friends’ for reasons best known to them.”
