A woman faced a life-threatening situation following a breast augmentation procedure that cost her more than £15,000. Lisa Hart, 45, decided to undergo surgery to address her dissatisfaction with her body after having five children. She opted for a breast reduction and reconstruction at a Glasgow clinic. However, post-surgery, Lisa encountered complications when her right breast implant started leaking “green fluid.”
Despite raising concerns about her condition, Lisa felt ignored by the clinic for over a month. Eventually, she sought medical attention at a hospital in June 2025. Doctors diagnosed her with sepsis and had to remove the infected implant, leaving her with uneven breast sizes – a B-cup on the right and a C-cup on the left.
Lisa, now coping with physical and mental distress, aims to caution others about the risks of cosmetic surgery. She emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and advises women to approach such procedures cautiously. Lisa’s experience serves as a reminder for clinics to prioritize patient safety and accountability.
Following the ordeal, Lisa expressed regret over not being more careful in her decision to undergo surgery. Despite the challenges, she is grateful for the support of her family and hopes her story will raise awareness and prevent similar incidents from happening to others. Lisa faces the dilemma of returning to the same clinic for corrective procedures due to the complexity of her case.
The clinic declined to comment on individual cases but emphasized their commitment to providing safe and high-quality care. They encourage prompt medical attention for any unexpected post-procedure symptoms and assure transparency, safety, and continuous improvement in their services.
