A diabetic woman has spent at least three days in intensive
care, after emergency surgery to remove part of her intestines
damaged in a liposuction procedure that apparently went wrong.
The 60-year-old is now believed to be on the mend.
The Straits Times understands that she underwent the fat-removal
procedure on her abdomen last Friday at the Singapore General
Hospital (SGH), but still felt pain in the operation site two days
later.
Sources said a scan on Sunday showed traumatic injury to her
intestines.
