A psychologist is urging anyone who is considering cosmetic surgery to get a mental health evaluation beforehand.
His advice comes as a Dublin woman developed sepsis following a tummy tuck in Turkey.
Jade Cooney, a 22-year-old woman from Dublin, has spoken of her experience following a procedure in Turkey.
Since last October, she has suffered heavy bleeding, she still has two open wounds, and has received no after-care.
Jade says it was a disaster from start to finish.
Dr Fallon believes a mental health evaluation and effective after-care are vitally important, before and after, cosmetic surgery.
A tummy tuck can give your abdomen a more toned and slimmer appearance, but it does have its risks.
