This 52-year-old woman is fighting for her life after reportedly having cooking oil injected into her buttocks during a bum lift operation carried out at her home.

Reports said that Garcia started to feel unwell 72 hours after the operation.

Fabian Diaz, the woman’s son, told local media: “Three days after the buttock surgery her body reacted strangely.”

He added: “Her bum cheeks became very red, she had bruises everywhere and her skin was very shiny.”

Three days after the surgery the woman was transferred to the Hospital San Rafael in the city where doctors determined she was suffering an infection caused by the fact that cooking oil had been injected into her buttocks during the operation.

Reports state that she had been now been transferred to the La Samaritana hospital in the Colombian capital of Bogota where she can receive better treatment.

Her son Fabian said: “There is little hope that my mother will live, she has bacteria in her body and it has already affected some bones.”

The woman who performed the surgery has been identified as Doris Quijano and is reportedly missing.

It was not revealed what medical qualifications she had if any to carry out the complicated surgery.

Fabian Diaz said: “She asked me not to tell anybody about the surgery that she had performed on my mother if I took her to the hospital. She also said that she was going to travel to Miami to perform some surgeries there. Her name is Doris Quijano.”

The family has reportedly filed a criminal complaint about the incident.

Local authorities have launched an investigation and are looking for the suspect.
