Galina Rakushina, who was hoping to “surprise” her hubby by doing a breast enlargement surgery has died after falling into a coma for more than a year.
Rakushina, 30, was given anesthetic drugs during the operation but her heart stopped soon afterward, reports Mirror UK.
“She had secretly saved money for the operation” a friend stated.”
“She was 29 when she went in for plastic surgery on April 17th 2017.
Although Medics managed to restart her heart after three minutes “her brain was without oxygen for too long”.
Galina, mother-of-two, was then in a coma in hospital for 13 months before passing away, shattering a devastated family and friends’ hopes that she would miraculously recover.
As in other cases, investigators are probing the quality of anesthetic drugs used ahead of the surgery amid concerns over the regulation of plastic surgery clinics in the capital.
A criminal case has now been launched into the Russian mother’s death.
She is the latest in a spate of fatalities linked to plastic surgery in Moscow clinics.
Galina was not monitored for several minutes and although her heart was restarted “her brain was without oxygen for too long”, Ren TV reported.
“Her heart was not beating for more than three minutes when doctors started reanimation,” said the report.
