Morocco and cosmetic surgery: beware the danger

We learned in The newspaper yesterday that the Quebec coroner’s office opened an investigation into the death in Morocco of a 26-year-old Quebecer, Florence McConnell, from complications following surgery.

Other young women have died in this country in recent years after operations in private plastic surgery clinics. Morocco has become a destination of choice for foreign women for this type of operation. Many clinics specialize in it at prices that defy the competition.

Death hidden for 3 days

Questioned by the Site info, mother of 32-year-old woman blames clinic where she died. She didn’t even know her daughter was going to have surgery. She affirms that she would have died because of a medical error while undergoing an intervention on the level of the thighs and the buttocks. To convince her to have the operation, she was shown photos of foreign women who had undergone the same operation. His death would have been hidden from her family for 3 days.

Death in cases of liposuction can be caused by fat released during the operation migrating to the heart and clogging the arteries of the client/patient.

By making this tragedy public, victim’s mother wants no one else to suffer the same fate and launched a social debate on cosmetic surgery in Morocco.

“Morocco, the madness of the scalpel”

The report Morocco, the madness of the scalpel broadcast on February 7, 2021 on the French channel TF1 had opened a debate on cosmetic surgery in Morocco subject to many controversies.

The report had shocked part of the public. The channel withdrew online access to the report at the request of one of the clients interviewed who was the subject of ridicule and derogatory comments from Internet users on social networks.
