Joy Williams, 23, from Thames mead, was described as a
'caring and funny' girl who was 'loved by everybody. She died on October 23
after travelling to Bangkok to have £2,000 buttock augmentation surgery.
Speaking yesterday from his home in Lagos, Nigeria, Miss
Williams's older brother Anietie, 28, said he had been looking forward to her
visiting him in Nigeria this Christmas.
He said: 'We don't really know what went wrong, we only know
what is in reports in the media. 'She was a very nice and caring person. 'She
brought joy to people's lives. 'She was a beautiful girl, loved by everybody.
We will miss her so much.' He added that the family were still making
preparations to bring Miss Williams's body home and that his brother was
planning to fly to Thailand and return to London with it.
Miss Williams, who was born in Lagos, settled in Thames mead
with her mother Christie in 2007 and had been to Thailand twice before choosing
to visit for surgery. She initially visited to the SP clinic, which she found
on the internet, on October 14 to have the operation which she hoped would give
her a bigger, fuller bottom.
A few days later her wounds became infected and she returned
to have corrective surgery to remove the silicon implants. But she was found
dead on the operating table with a three inch-long stitched incision on her
tail bone after medical staff found they were unable to resuscitate her.
Thai officials investigating her death believe her operation
had been delayed to ensure Miss Williams had not eaten anything beforehand and
that as a result the operation began after the clinic's legal closing time of
7pm. Doctor Sompob Sansiri, 51, is lead away by police after Miss Williams died
at his clinic
While in Bangkok she had been staying at the £11-a-night
Vabua Asotel hotel which is used by the clinic as accommodation for its
patients. The doctor who carried out the procedure, Sompob Sansiri, 51, was
later arrested and accused of negligence after it was found that he had been
carrying out night-time surgery without a licence.
He has now been charged with recklessness causing death and
could face 10 years in jail if found guilty. The clinic has been closed for 60
days while investigations are carried out. Thailand is a world-leader in
cosmetic surgery tourism with many companies offering procedures at discounts
of up to 60 per cent.
The industry earned the country £2.68billion in 2013 alone.WOW!!!
The most popular procedure in Thailand is dental work such
as teeth veneers but customers can purchase packages for breast implants, face
lifts and even hip replacements.
Inspired by the likes of Kim Kardashian, young women are now
increasingly going to extreme lengths to get the perfect bottom while more
women are undergoing surgery in order to get the same gravity-defying look.
