Chinese Influencer, 33, Dies After Undergoing Beauty Ops

This pretty Chinese influencer has died of organ failure after undergoing three cosmetic operations on the same day.

Xiaoran, 33, an influencer with over 130,000 followers on China’s social network Sina Weibo, started trending after her death this week and a related hashtag led to over 600 million views on Thursday afternoon.

The beauty clinic in the city of Hangzhou in China’s Zhejiang Province where the influencer underwent two liposuction procedures and a boob job has reportedly admitted responsibility for her death.

According to local media, the clinic admitted to mistakes during surgery and delayed treatment afterwards, and has since been closed by the authorities.

Meanwhile, the victim’s family is seeking compensation of CNY 920,000 (GBP 102,662) from the clinic.

Xiaoran visited the clinic in May and was advised to undergo three operations, upper arm liposuction, waist and abdomen liposuction, and breast augmentation surgery.

She reportedly underwent all three surgeries the same day, spending over five hours on the operating table.

Two days later, she experienced pain and shortness of breath and was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Later that day, her family was informed that she had suffered multiple organ failure and was being treated in intensive care.

She was then moved to a better-equipped hospital where she remained in a critical condition for two months before finally dying of multiple organ failure on 13th July.

The investigation into her death is ongoing even though the clinic has apparently admitted responsibility.
