Geordie Shore legend Sophie Kasaei reveals she nearly DIED after Brazilian Bum Lift surgery

GEORDIE Shore's Sophie Kasaei has revealed how she nearly died following complications from a Brazilian Bum Lift.

The surgery, which sees fat sucked from elsewhere in the body and injected into the bottom, is among the most dangerous cosmetic procedures with a worrying mortality rate of the mortality rate of between one in 2,351 to one in 6,241.

And reality star Sophie, 33, came close to being a tragic statistic when she and co-star pal Chloe Ferry went for the procedure in Turkey.

Speaking to Chloe Burrows on the Chloe vs The World podcast, she explained: "It was so bad from the minute we got there. I remember they gave us a tablet, I was like I feel off it. I feel really f***ed. It was scary.

"Get on the bed and then I just remember counting down and that that was that."

Sophie recalled coming to in recovery and seeing a zombified Chloe Ferry staggering around making moaning noises while attached to a drip.

She continued: "It was about four weeks later I started feeling really unwell. I was getting dizzy and faint. I was like 'I don't really feel right' and started getting this really funny pain down my leg and I was like 'what is going on here?'

"Basically what had happened was I was like growing an abscess in my bum cheek. This abscess in my bum cheek was growing and growing, if that burst and got into my bloodstream, I would have been dead. That's how bad it was.

"I went straight into surgery and they said the cut a litre of puss from my butt cheek."

The graphic detail made Chloe recoil, and she said: "That's making me feel ill."

Sophie told how she had to undergo a reconstruction on her mum and warned fans considering having the same procedure: "Don't get a BBL."
