A German belly dancer who checked into hospital to have her thighs trimmed ended up with just one butt cheek after the plastic surgeon hoovered out her right buttock, Ananova reports.

Julia "Cleopatra" Meyer, 38, of Munich, said of her liposuction ordeal at the Berlin Charité hospital: "I had been unhappy with my saddlebags, the fat stored in the outer thigh area. Because of the local anaesthesia I did not realise what he was doing. When I saw afterwards that half of my bum was missing I almost fainted. It had been completely sucked away."

Unsurprisingly, the matter ended in court, where Meyer was awarded £12,000 damages against the unnamed private plastic surgeon. The court heard her career is dead and the poor woman "does not even dare to go to a swimming pool because she is ashamed of the way she looks".

A consultant at the Berlin Charité hospital chipped in his expert opinion, describing the arse reduction as a "grave error in treatment".

I bet "Cleopatra" is tired of being the butt of jokes.

Ergh.
Liposuction is manky anyway... apparently because it removes not only the fat but also the fat cells in which it is stored, if an individual doesn't cut down on the diet that was depositing the fat there in the first place it just has to be stored in fat cells else where.. leading to for example the bum and thighs of a skinny person but a wierd podgy back. Eugh.
I guess, too, if the suggestion is right that intra-abdominal fat is a higher risk factor for diseases like diabetes then it is likely to be unhealthy too.

Botched liposuction can have worse consequences than asymmetrical buttocks...

A FOOTBALLER'S wife has won a record six figure settlement for horrific injuries suffered during a botched cosmetic surgery operation. Denise Hendry, wife of former City and Blackburn star Colin Hendry, was in a coma for five weeks after her bowel and small colon were perforated nine times during the liposuction procedure at the private Broughton Park Hospital near Preston in 2002.
