Popular Nigerian social media personality Omotola Taiwo
Temilade popularly known as Omohtee has opened up about her failed plastic
surgery at Dr Anu’s clinic.
Omohtee who admitted she has been suicidal over the many
complications she suffered after the surgery said that Dr Anu “showed me
pepper”.
She revealed that she although she paid Dr Anuoluwapo Adepoju popularly known as Dr
Anu N1.2 million for liposuction and Brazilian Butt Lift surgery,her finances have taken a
hit due to unending medical sessions after the botched procedure done by the doctor
Omothee said she now has to see a doctor three times in a
week.
“I met Dr Anu because I wanted to do a top-up of my ass. BBL
and liposuction,” she said.
“My belly wasn’t flat enough. I wanted to remove some fat
there and augment my bum. December 31st, I paid N1.2 million into her account.
After the surgery, I started having complications.
“Belly burns, waist numb. After two months, fat necrosis
kicked in. This is when liquid fat turns dirt and is coming out like a boil,
bursts, and starts to eject fat. Up till now, my waist is still numb.
“Sometimes, they open the wound is and another fat necrosis
is already up. They would now need to do an operation. Other times, the wound
is infected; they’d need to do a swab. I’d buy drugs.”
Omothee said she became suicidal after the procedure as
social media users blamed her despite being the victim.
“When I went to social media, the abuse was really bad.
People cursed me, some even wished me dead. This thing has drained me
financially and affected me mentally. People beauty-shamed me,” she said.
On her part, cosmetic surgeon and owner of Med Contour
Services, , Adepoju Anu, says the only requirement needed to carry out cosmetic
surgery is a bachelor of medicine, bachelor of surgery degree.
Adepoju, who blamed complications on the disobedience of
post-surgery rules, told BBC Pidgin that she is not a plastic surgeon and has
never dubbed herself to be one.
“Usually, we advise patients on what to do after such
surgeries but they don’t follow medical directives,” she said in response to a
narration by another of her clients, Omothee, about a botched procedure.
“They feel they know how to take care of themselves but
blame the doctors at the end of the day when things go wrong. Plastic surgery
and cosmetic surgery; people always confuse the two.
“They would say I don’t belong to the NAPRAS group, which is
an association of plastic surgeons in Nigeria. I’m not a plastic surgeon and
I’ve never dubbed myself one. I’m a cosmetic surgeon.
“I focus on liposuction. The basic requirement for cosmetic
surgeons is an MBBS. Every doctor who has an MBBS is a physician and surgeon
first of all. That gave me the right to do liposuction.”
Dr was recently arraigned at the federal high court in Ikoyi on
Friday, July 3, after her facility was shut down in response to the death of
one Nneka Miriam. She was also charged with non-compliance to a summon by the
FCCPC
Nonsense. But you ought to know the inherent danger in such prosedures. Clients are often told about it and made to sign documents clearing the doctors from liability in cases of botched ones or death. What are you talking about?
