Galina Rakushina,a mother-of-two has died after falling into a coma for more than a year, in a bid to “surprise” her husband with a breast enlargement surgery.
Rakushina, who was just 30, was given anaesthetic drugs during the operation but her heart stopped soon afterward, reports Mirror UK.
Medics restarted her heart after three minutes but “her brain was without oxygen for too long”.
Galina was in a coma in hospital for 13 months before she died, shattering a devastated family and friends’ hopes that she would miraculously recover.
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.
As in other cases, investigators are probing the quality of anaesthetic drugs used ahead of the surgery amid concerns over the regulation of plastic surgery clinics in the capital.
