Turkish 'bum lift' victim dies after filler blocks blood vessels
Final moments of Turkish ‘bum lift’ doctor victim: Woman is helped to walk through beauty clinic before dying when filler injections administered by untrained medic blocked blood vessels
- Defendant Oner Ozsoyeri was found guilty of causing death through negligence
- Ozsoyeri gave victim Kubra Boyraz filler injections in her rear, the court heard
A Turkish court has sentenced a struck-off doctor to six years behind bars after one of his patients died after a botched bum job.
Defendant Oner Ozsoyeri was found guilty of causing death through negligence by the 13th Criminal Court of First Instance in Buyukcekmece, Istanbul.
The court heard how the struck-off GP gave victim Kubra Boyraz filler injections in her rear at his beauty clinic in Beylikduzu on September 19, 2020, despite not having the necessary certification and training to perform the procedure on the 38-year-old.
Chilling security camera footage seen during Ozsoyeri’s trial shows his victim walking zombie-like after the buttock augmentation.
As she staggers through the clinic’s reception, two members of staff hold onto her arms and three more walk behind her following the procedure which would soon lead to her death.

More footage from a camera outside the clinic shows Kubra being bundled into the back of a car before she is driven home.
She was ‘struggling to speak’ and ‘unwell’, the court heard.
Kubra then became unconscious that same evening before she was rushed to hospital after her condition worsened. She passed away a day later on September 20.
An autopsy revealed that she died after the filler injections in her bum blocked her blood vessels. Silicon was found in her blood as well as her lung tissue.
Ahead of the verdict, Ozsoyeri claimed to the court: ‘I am not the one who committed the act. Witnesses also testified that I was not present in the room.
‘My medical licence was revoked six months before the incident, not due to professional reasons but for other reasons.
‘I was not present at the location in my capacity as a doctor. The deceased person was a patient of Erdal Bey. I am innocent and I request acquittal.
‘I wasn’t even in the room. I did not perform the procedure. As a person, I tried to do everything for the individual. I directed her to the hospital, but she refused.’
The police are pictured arresting the five suspects believed to be involved in the case in Istanbul. The trial against the other suspects is still ongoing

During his trial, the court heard how Ozsoyeri had been reported for injuring several cosmetic surgery patients by injecting them with inappropriate substances in 2009.
Ozsoyeri was subsequently sentenced to 5 years, 8 months and 17 years in prison for ‘causing the death of a person by negligence’.
The wider case is still ongoing, with co-suspects Erdal Dogruya, Omer Elmali, and Bulent B. accused of violation of the Basic Law on Health Services.
The first co-suspect is also accused of causing death through conscious negligence and treating patients without being a doctor.
