Beijing, November 25: In yet another death allegedly after cosmetic surgery, a 27-year-old woman from China's Tianjin has died after undergoing a series of laser treatments for the removal of spots and birthmarks. According to the reports, the woman passed away just 10 days after undergoing cosmetic laser surgery.

According to a report published by the South China Morning Post, the deceased woman, identified by her surname Liu, had been dealing with neurofibromatosis and cafe-au-lait spots, conditions that left her with multiple dark and large spots on her body.

However, Liu’s condition worsened following the treatments. According to her mother, Liu had previously suspended the treatment due to severe pain from an uneven application of anaesthetic. On October 21, during her 10th procedure, Liu reportedly felt dizzy after the anaesthetic cream was applied. Despite doctors' efforts to address the situation by removing the cream, Liu went into shock, suffering convulsions and eventually cardiac arrest. She was rushed to another hospital but died 10 days later.
