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.
