A teenage single mum has died after undergoing a lipo tummy tuck procedure.
Daniela Mucha Quispe, 19, spent three agonising days in unbearable pain before her body gave out.
She entered the operating theatre at 9 a.m. for a lipoabdominoplasty and left conscious around 6:30 p.m. that same day.

According to her cousin Edith Mucha, Daniela was discharged from the clinic in Ate, Peru, the following day.
But just 24 hours later, she began to feel unwell.
Edith took her back to the clinic, where the same surgeon who had operated on her drained the wound — then sent her home again.
He reportedly told her the pain she was experiencing was “normal”.
But it only got worse.
On their third visit to the clinic, Daniela was given more medication. However, her condition continued to deteriorate over the next few hours, as reported by Need To Know.
She was eventually rushed to a nearby hospital as an emergency case — but died shortly afterwards from cardiorespiratory arrest, according to local media reports on Sunday (27 Jul).
Daniela, who worked at a casino, had been saving up for her dream body. She reportedly paid over 15,000 soles (£3,170) for the procedure.
Just three days before the tummy tuck, the same surgeon had performed a rhinoplasty and chin liposuction on her.
Daniela leaves behind a four-year-old daughter.
Her family believes there was medical negligence involved and is calling for a full investigation.
