Sophie Kasaei reveals she ‘almost died’ after undergoing a free BBL in Turkey as she sheds light on her ‘traumatic’ botched surgery where she was promised a ‘Kim Kardashian figure’

Sophie Kasaei has revealed she ‘almost died’ after undergoing a failed BBL in Turkey at the age of 24.

The Geordie Shore star, 34, opened up about her “traumatic” procedure that “almost cost her her life” during a candid video on TikTok that she posted on Monday.

Sophie, who was insecure about her ‘flat bum’, admitted she was promised a ‘Kim Kardashian figure’ but instead suffered ‘painful’ consequences from the botched operation.

The TV personality suffered a life-threatening abscess, requiring emergency surgery to drain a liter of pus on her left buttock cheek.

Brazilian Butt Lifts are used to make the buttocks bigger, rounder or lifted. Fat is transferred from other parts of the body, such as the hips or abdomen, to give patients a fuller buttocks.

Shedding light on her ‘near death experience’, Sophie said: ‘Someone who didn’t have a lot of curves, I was quite straight, I thought ‘omg this is amazing, I can go to Turkey for free and get a BBL and I see look like Kim Kardashian and have a great figure.”

Turkey has become one of the most popular destinations, fueled by celebrities and influencers who have made the four-hour journey in search of a body overhaul.

She added: ‘I was about 24 so I went to Turkey. When I arrived in Turkey I had the procedure and a few days later I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, “Wait, do I have to be so bruised?”

‘Also the holes in my back. I looked like a sieve. I only have burns on my back where they went through.

‘I also had liposuction because they promised me that my body would be great and that I would look great.

‘After the healing process, six to eight weeks later, I started having pain in my left buttock cheek and was in pain.

‘I was in Mexico at the time and even went to a hospital there. They put me on a drip and panicked. Everyone was running around.

“And they said it was an abscess in their body and if it burst, you would be dead.

‘I told them to book me a flight home because when I die, I want to die with my family around me.

‘So I was back to Newcastle. I went straight to the hospital. I had to stay there overnight, wake up in the morning and go straight to the operating room to drain this abscess growing on my butt.

‘They drained one liter of pussy. It was so traumatic. Packing was the worst pain in the world – I screamed out of the hospital.

‘It was just hell. I felt sick, I couldn’t walk, my whole leg was numb. I couldn’t even sit on it. It was just an absolute pain.

‘Eventually the wound healed, but there was a terrible fear that left behind a shark-like fear.’

Sophie told her horror story to warn young girls about the dangerous operation and the complications it can bring.

She captioned her video: “I’ve been wanting to tell this story for a while but this is my BBL hell journey. This video is for educational purposes only.
