Tragic student, 23, dies on operating table as surgeons prepare lip enlargement surgery

A TRAGIC medical student died on a cosmetic surgeon's operating table while she was being prepared for surgery to have her lips enlarged.

Maria Delyukina - who was already a qualified dentist but had returned to medical school - had booked into the private clinic in Volgograd, southern Russia, for lip enlargement and to have her chin re-profiled.

But as the 23-year-old was being anaesthetised for the procedure, she suddenly went into massive anaphylactic shock and began fitting uncontrollably.

Maria's death was put down as an allergic reaction.

The cosmetic surgery team managed to stabilise her while they called paramedics but Maria was declared dead before she arrived at hospital.

The surgeon performing the operation - not named in local media - said: "I want to address my deepest condolences to the parents of the young woman who died in our clinic."

He added: "We did all we could, we ran tests before giving her injections. It was anaphylaxis reaction."

Anaphylactic shock is a severe allergic reaction to a drug or substance which can cause fatal breathing complications or low blood pressure.

Now officials will conduct an autopsy to discover why pre-operative tests did not pick up her allergy.
