A Sydney woman has died following a breast operation allegedly carried out by a Chinese tourist.
A woman in Australia has died following breast-filler surgery allegedly carried out by a Chinese tourist.
Jie Shao has been charged with causing reckless bodily harm and using poison to endanger life.
The patient, Jean Huang, suffered a cardiac arrest after the breast augmentation procedure at the Sydney clinic she owned.
Ms Shao was on a tourist visa and had only been in Australia for days before the incident, a court has heard.
Ms Huang, 35, was admitted to hospital in a critical condition following the procedure on Wednesday. New South Wales police confirmed her death on Friday.
Court documents allege Ms Shao, 33, injected lidocaine, an anaesthetic, as well as « an intoxifying substance » identified as tramadol, into Ms Huang’s chest at Medi Beauty clinic.
According to Australian media, Ms Shao’s lawyer Mary Underwood said her client was a university graduate and specialised in dermatology, practicing in the UK and China.
