Woman Loses Most Vision After Moscow Liposuction
A patient lost her vision after liposuction at a Moscow clinic — representatives of the injured party said she was given incorrect anesthesia.
Consensus
- A 53-year-old woman from Shakhty traveled to Moscow for a liposuction procedure.
- The procedure involved removing fat from the abdomen and transferring it to the buttocks.
- The patient did not have documentation of her blood type, leading to initial refusal of anesthesia by the clinic's chief physician.
- A specialist from a city hospital was urgently called in and agreed to perform the procedure.
- After the surgery, the patient experienced vision loss.
- She was discharged on the third day and advised to see an ophthalmologist.
- She was later admitted to Botkin Hospital's intensive care unit.
- One eye retains about 10% of vision, the other is completely blind.
- Her representatives are preparing a lawsuit against the clinic.
- The claim includes compensation for physical and moral harm and a refund of the 9.1 million rubles paid for the procedure.
