'Surgeon stole my bum'
A German belly dancer has been awarded £12,000 compensation after a plastic surgeon accidentally sucked away one of her buttocks.
Julia 'Cleopatra' Meyer, 38, from Munich, wanted slimmer thighs and instead ended up with half her bum missing.
The court heard that during the liposuction the plastic surgeon, not named, from a private clinic, had removed fat from her right buttock instead of her thighs.
She said: "I had been unhappy with my saddlebags, the fat stored in the outer thigh area. Because of the local anaesthesia I did not realise what he was doing.
"When I saw afterwards that half of my bum was missing I almost fainted. It had been completely sucked away."
A consultant at the Berlin Charité hospital asked for an expert opinion said it was a "grave error in treatment".
The court heard the woman can no longer perform. She does not even dare to go to a swimming pool because she is ashamed of the way she looks.
The surgeon has been ordered to pay her £12,000 - twice the £6,000 she had been seeking.
I can't remember if this was posted here before, but anyway.

I why wouldn't the dude suck the fat out of the other butt cheek as well?

I demand pictures. Actually, no I don't.
But yeah, what the hell? Who the fuck would be dumb enough to suck out one cheek? Is there anyone in the world that could conceivably want that done for any reason?

Imagine her riding a bike. She'd need a weird seat.

If I ever get liposuction (I won't, I'm skinny as hell) then I'd make sure to go to a credible doctor. I hear all these stories about liposuction and the like gone wrong and I cant help but wonder- was saving a few bucks for the cheaper doctor worth it? I guess you get what you pay for.

if i ever did something like that. i'd do it on my tum tum hehe and arms!
but i don't think i would. can do so much with the money. and whatever one does, there will always be something wrong with the body that'll be annoying

£12,000? What is that in American money, a night at the bar?
I saw a special on HBO where this lady (poor dumb chick) got talked into having liposuction because a doctor told her it would be good for her diabetes (ummm...). In the end, the lady lost both of her legs.
