Instagram model Ngone Ndiaye dies after bum lift in Turkey having lost contact with family when she arrived for op
AN INSTAGRAM model has tragically died after getting Brazilian bum lift surgery in Turkey.
Ngone Ndiaye sparked concern after her family lost contact with her when she travelled to the country for the dangerous procedure.
Her grieving mum confirmed that she was hoping to have surgery to fix a problem linked to a Brazilian Butt Lift, otherwise known as a BBL.
A BBL is used to make the bum look bigger, rounded and lifted.
Surgeons transfer fat, inject filler or insert silicone-filled implants.
Ngone had nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram and was renowned for her fashion content online.
In 2008 she was crowned Miss Pikine after she represented her home city of Pikine, Senegal, West Africa.
She had worked with many local stylists and participated in various cultural events.
Ngone lived in France before she died.
After her remains were returned to Senegal, her grieving family and friends gathered to pay their final respects, local media reports.
Many other young women have fallen ill or died from BBL surgery in Turkey.
Demi Agoglia, 26, died from complications after a botched BBL in Turkey in January last year.
The mum-of-three tragically passed away in Turkey after a “barbaric” operation contributed to by neglect with “no proper pre-operative care and advice”, a coroner warned.
Demi travelled to Turkey for the operation after seeing celebrity endorsements for Istanbul-based Comfort Zone Surgery on social media.
Similarly, Hayley Dowell, 38, died following a BBL in Turkey after the surgeon walked out halfway through the op, an inquest heard.
She passed just hours later after suffering an embolism while recovering at the BHT Clinic in Istanbul.
In August last year, Kaydell Brown, 38 died after paying £5,400 for the procedure, as well as a tummy tuck and a boob job.
Brazilian butt-lifts, also known as buttock augmentation procedures, involve injecting fat or filler into the bum to shape it.
But wrongly injecting too deep into the buttock can pump chemicals into the bloodstream and cause deadly clots, infections or sepsis.
They can also go wrong if the anaesthetic is botched or people have an allergic reaction.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT’S important to do your research if you’re thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

Rare footage re-emerges of 19-year-old Tyson Fury brutally knocking out rival and leaving him in crumpled heap
RARE footage of Tyson Fury scoring a brutal knockout in the amateurs has re-emerged.
Fury had a 31-4 record in the unpaid ranks but he turned professional in 2008 after being overlooked for the Olympics in favour of David Price.
But before doing so, the future two-time heavyweight world champion travelled to Philadelphia in 2007 for the Harrowgate Boxing Club.
Fury competed for Belfast’s Holy Family ABC and boxed in front of just a handful of spectators at the New Alhambra Sports and Entertainment Centre.
Those in attendance would not have known they were watching a future star of the sport – but Fury’s KO of Maurice Byarm might have been a hint.
Fury – only 19 at the time -had the American hurt on the ropes with an uppercut and the follow up right hand ended the bout in the third and final round.
Byarm himself turned pro in 2009 – two years after the loss to Fury but he failed to make an impact in the paid ranks.
He was beaten by Bryant Jennings in 2012 and stopped by Magomed Abdusalamov the same year before leaving the sport.
Byarm did return six years later in 2018 to beat Richard Carmack in his comeback fight but it marked his final fight.
Fury meanwhile first became champ in 2015 when he stunned Wladimir Klitschko in Germany to win the WBA, IBF and WBO belts.

But by 2017, he vacated the straps amid a battle with depression and substance abuse.
But it paved the way for one of boxing’s most remarkable comebacks as Fury returned in 2018 to challenge for the WBC title – controversially drawing to Deontay Wilder.
Fury later beat Wilder twice to claim the belt but he eventually lost the gold and his unbeaten record in May to Oleksandr Usyk.
Usyk, 38, also won the rematch in December and a month later Fury, 36, announced his retirement from boxing and has so far kept his word.
New bus route connects London with the UK’s number one beach for less than £5 & it’ll be running in time for summer
FANCY a trip to the seaside for less than a fiver?
Londoners can now reap the rewards of a new bus route that will take them out of the city and onto the beach in no time.
Low-cost intercity coach service FlixBus has announced an exciting new travel option that’ll get you sunbathing by the shore – and it won’t cost the earth.
Passengers can be transported from London to the sought-after holiday destination for just £4.49.
The budget coach operator has launched a twice-daily route from London to Brighton – along with free wi-fi and charging ports.
Andreas Schorling, senior managing director of FlixBus UK, said: “Londoners now have even more affordable, sustainable and reliable travel options for weekend getaways, airport connections and visiting friends and family this summer.
“Brighton is an iconic British destination and we’re excited to offer a direct route from the capital just in time for the warmer months.”
He continued: “Brighton is such a vibrant, inclusive city, especially during the summer, and we can’t wait to offer passengers the chance to visit for the first time on our network.
“The people of Brighton will now have a fantastic service to central London, Cambridge and Gatwick. Known for its dedication to sustainability, it’s a perfect match for FlixBus.”
The London to Brighton route will stop at both Gatwick Terminals on route.
The company now serves more than 80 UK destinations including the recent additions of Bournemouth, Newquay and Truro.
Tickets are available at flixbus.co.uk or through the FlixBus app.
The three mile Brighton Blue Flag beach is full of pebbles – but that doesn’t deter visitors.
Tripadvisor recently revealed their top beaches in Europe – with some in the UK making the cut.
The world’s largest travel guidance platform has announced its ‘Best of Beaches for 2025′ sorted purely by review data.
While the UK didn’t bag the top spot, three of our beautiful beaches made it onto the list.
Weymouth Beach in Dorset is a firm favourite and for its fourth year in a row has cemented a spot on the list, this time in twentieth place.
The sandy beach at Gorleston-on-Sea, in Norfolk, has come in at number 23.
The beach in Norfolk stretches for three miles and is considered to be quieter than the famous Great Yarmouth beach which is two miles up the road.
Also found in Dorset, Bournemouth Beach spans over seven-miles and the promenade is lined with Instagrammable multi-coloured beach huts.
Bournemouth also has its own pier with an arcade and theatre, as well as an indoor rock climbing wall and a zip line that launches from a tower 25 metres above the sea.
The 39p trick to get your garden furniture rust-free and it works in magic while you sleep
WITH summer now here, most of us want to go out and make the most of our gardens.
But, if you’ve left your furniture out all winter long, then it most probably is rusty and not looking its best.
Fortunately, a garden furniture expert has shared the easy way to get it looking brand new again rather than forking out hundreds on new tables and chairs.
The experts at Pergolux revealed how you can use common household items to remove rust from garden furniture and tools.
Sam Stevens, from the company, said: “A lot of people will be looking at their gardens to get them ready for the brighter and longer days ahead.
“Garden cleaning doesn’t need to be an expensive job.
“We all love a cheap and cheerful hack, so whether you’re buffing away stains, achieve a streak-free finish on glass or eliminate rust, you’ll find something in your house.”
And one of the best ways to banish rust is by using a fizzy drink.
Fizzy drinks remove rust through a chemical reaction where phosphoric acid converts the rust (iron oxide) into a less harmful iron phosphate compound, reports the Express.
This iron phosphate forms a protective layer on the metal, inhibiting further corrosion.
You can use the drink to clean pretty much anything, from rusty tools and furniture to hinges and the metal parts of your barbecue.
Small tools can be soaked in fizzy drinks overnight while furniture and other large items you will need to pour some of the drink onto a cloth and wrap it over the rusty area overnight.
That means it does all of the hard work while you’re asleep.
In the morning, simply give it a wipe down and the rust should be gone.
Value brand fizzy drinks can be bought at all major supermarkets with prices starting at 39p for lemonade and 49p for cola in Tesco and Aldi.
You can also use ketchup in the same way if you don’t have any fizzy drinks to hand.
This is great for brass or copper garden décor including patio furniture, garden gates or old metal watering cans.
Simply apply a thin layer of ketchup to the affected area and let it sit for around fifteen minutes before gently scrubbing it away and rinsing with water.
