Sophie Kasaei, a star of Geordie Shore and TOWIE, discussed the moment she almost passed away on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast as she revealed the details of her botched BBL ordeal.
Geordie Shore icon Sophie Kasaei haș opened up about her harrowing surgical experience, after a botched Brazilian butt lift left her just moments away from death.
The 35 year old reality star, who has always been open about her plastic surgery journey over the years, has undergone numerous procedures and tweakments in her quest to achieve the “perfect” body.
Although the majority of these procedures have been successful, Sophie almost lost her life when she had her BBL procedure.
After a clinic offered to perform it for free, the star traveled to Turkey in 2016 to have the BBL procedure. Following four years of relentless trolling while in the public eye, Sophie realized the procedure would help her regain her confidence and silence her critics.

Broaching the subject last year, Sophie told The Sun what had lead up to the decision to undergo surgery, when she explained: “It’s quite sad to think at the age of 24, I had these horrible insecurities that had been drilled into me from the press and public.
They would always say we looked like drag queens because we were “ugly,” fat, a whale, constantly “fat s**g,” and “embarrassed to society,” and they were all being “ugly.” It’s terrible, the list goes on and on.
“I was just growing up in this new world, I wasn’t used to this industry. We didn’t know what social media was, we didn’t know what being in the public eye was.”
However, choosing to have surgery was only the first step, as the free clinic turned out to be far more expensive than she had anticipated, with the results being compared to a “murder scene” in the aftermath of her operation.
However, in the most recent episode of the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, Sophie has elaborated a little more on her experience while discussing the nightmare procedure with host Giovanna Fletcher.
“I nearly passed away after getting a BBL.” My left breast cheek actually had an abscess growing on it, Sophie admitted.
“And it took control of my entire body, causing me to momentarily walk away from them and declare my death.”
It was horrifying, I guess. And my family and I both recall spending time in South Shields Hospital’s bed. And I immediately realized, “This is probably my goodbye.” “
“And the doctor arrived. They said, “We’re going to have to rush into surgery right now.” And I thought, “What’s happening? “
They said, “Basically, you were going to die if that abscess bursts inside your body.”
Sophie continued, “So I was like, I was like, All right. “
Sophie had a hard time accepting her appearance, so she asked the doctor to try to make the scar as small and clean as possible rather than just to concentrate on her health.
“I remember telling the doctor, Whatever you do, can you make it look like a really clean scar,” he said.
“I was considering doing the magazines and seeing what people thought of my enormous scar,” I said. I was 24 at the time, exactly. I’ve only been here ten years.
A Brazilian buttlift is what?
Brazilian buttlifts, or BBL procedures, are a form of plastic surgery that is performed to make buttocks larger, rounded, or lifted.
To achieve this, surgeons place silicone-filled implants in the body and/or inject body fat from other areas.
Although this may seem simple, the procedure is actually quite complicated and involves a number of risks, including severe bacterial infections, including MRSA, necrosis, tissue death, scarring, wound ruptures, and abscesses.
Due to fat being injected into large veins, which then passes to the major organs, some people have even died during BBLs.
However, despite the risks remaining high, BBL surgery is still becoming more popular, with a 20% increase in demand driving many people to travel abroad because BBLs are not currently recommended in the UK.
Instead, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) advises surgeons to only perform superficial gluteal lipofilling (SGL).
Fat from other body parts is used in this procedure, but crucially, it is only injected below the skin, unlike traditional BBLs, which insert it into the muscles instead.
