A 21-year-old woman from Colombia has lost her life after the aesthetic intervention she performed on her nose. According to the doctors, her lung was filled with blood and this caused the young woman to have breathing problems. Karen Julieth Cárdenas Uribe, left the clinic in Bucaramanga, Santander Department, Colombia, just minutes after her rhinoplasty surgery on January 29.

However, she lost consciousness as soon as she arrived home and her family tried to revive her. The 21-year-old was a student in the last semester in the field of psychology.

She was taken to the hospital after her family members could not keep her alive, where she subsequently suffered 6 cardiac-respiratory arrests. Her brother said:

"She was admitted at 5am and the operation started at 7am and lasted until 1.30pm. At 14:00 she was already with us and passed out just a few minutes later. We immediately managed to revive her and she woke up, but perhaps the effects of the drugs had already worn off and she passed out again.”

According to the victim's brother, she was admitted to the ICU, where doctors managed to revive her again. However, as she continued to lose consciousness, she was eventually intubated.

He added: “After they intubated her, they saw she had a significant amount of blood in her lungs, trachea and esophagus and she couldn't breathe. They did what they could, but after six cardiorespiratory arrests she passed away." The family said they will file a complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office to establish whether any party is guilty of medical negligence.
