A Lagos State-based cosmetic surgery clinic, Cynosure Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinics, has issued a statement denying allegations of negligence in the treatment of its 20-year-old patient.
During a liposuction procedure, the young lady identified as Destiny d!ed at the clinic.
Destiny’s death went viral on social media, on Wednesday, after her friends claimed she died after she experienced difficulty breathing shortly after the surgery.
However, the clinic in a statement via its Instagram page on Thursday debunked the assumptions surrounding her d3ath.
According to them, a CT (computed tomography scan) Pulmonary Angiogram was conducted on the deceased when she arrived at the intensive care unit and the result showed there was no pulmonary embolism.
The medical facility noted that it has taken samples of the deceased for further tests, to know if it was a case of COVID-19.
The statement monitored on Facebook read:

PRESS RELEASE

In another update, the clinic said:
“Good day everyone. On the March 14, 2023, we made a press release regarding the current issue making rounds on social media. We, once again, deeply commiserate with the family of the deceased.
“It has become necessary to clear the air on some misinformation and wrong assumptions. We are aware that it is reasonable to speculate that fat embolism was the most likely cause of her sudden onset of breathlessness. However, we wish to state the following:
“A CT Pulmonary Angiogram (CPA) was conducted the same day the client arrived at the ICU and the result showed there was NO PULMONARY EMBOLISM. BY the way, a CPA is the gold standard for diagnosing PULMONARY EMBOLISM (whether for fat, blood clot or air embolism).
“Till date, we have no records of pulmonary embolism of any kind, to the glory of God, despite the number of surgeries done so far. The deceased was the third client to ever be referred to an ICU with the previous two, being successfully managed at the same reputable ICU Hospital which is within 10 mins drive from our facility.
“Samples have been sent for COVID-19 testing on account of her recent travel history, as well as some features seen on the CTPA.“
