Instant fix

 

The death of Denise Hendry at age 43 wife of Colin the former Blackburn defender tragically illustrates the dangers of cosmetic surgery, In a botched attempt in 2002 a routine liposuction procedure resulted in her colon being punctures 9 times, the resulting complications left her in a coma and for a time she was not expected to live, she did  recover though not fully, and the years since the bungled op have been plagued with further complications and  more operations, the latest as recently as May was meant to finally correct the problem instead she suffered a meningitis type infection which ultimately killed her. When I look at pictures of Denise I am struck by what an attractive woman she was and cant help wondering why she needed cosmetic surgery, it was apparently done to remove some excess fat around her stomach the result of having given birth, in the old days she would have removed it with exercise but in this image conscious world that we live in everything must be instant, and being the wife of a premier league footballer she probably  felt she had a certain look to maintain, and sadly it cost her life. Denise leaves behind 4 children who couldn’t have cared less how mum looked. these kind of treatments are to readily available and there should be more stringent regulation, you should not be allowed to have surgery on a whim, perhaps a system where two independent doctors have to okay the procedure first. the surgeon who carried out Mrs Hendry’s procedure was sued successfully for a six figure amount. scant compensation for the loss of a wife and mother.
