Mother-of-two dies after suffering complications from breast enlargement done to impress her husband

MOTHER-of-two Galina Rakushina who tried to surprise her husband by undergoing breast enlargement has passed away in a Moscow hospital after her heart suddenly stopped beating after being in a coma for over a year.

 

Mrs Rakushina, 30, undertook breast enlargement surgery to impress and surprise her husband but things went sour when she developed complications after the operation. She was given anaesthetic drugs during the operation but her heart stopped soon afterwards and although medics restarted her heart after three minutes, her brain was without oxygen for too long.

 

Galina was in a coma in hospital for 13 months before she died, shattering 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.

 

The woman, from Lipetsk in western Russia wanted to surprise her husband by enlarging her breasts after having her children.  She had secretly saved money for the operation,” a friend to Galina said

 

Galina, who had the surgery on April 17 2017, was not monitored for several minutes and although her heart was restarted her brain was without oxygen. According to a medical report, her heart was not beating for more than three minutes when doctors started reanimation.

 

An ambulance rushed her to a major medical hospital but Galina was in a coma from which she never woke despite living for another 13 months.
