A 19-year-old Colorado woman who was left permanently brain damaged after breast augmentation surgery has died, her family said.

Emmalyn Nguyen, of Thornton, went for breast implant surgery on Aug. 1, 2019. According to the lawsuit filed by her family against Dr. Geoffrey Kim, Nguyen, who was 18 at the time, wasn’t monitored for the first 15 minutes after being administered anesthesia.

“Emmalyn’s parents and siblings are heartbroken,” attorney David Woodruff said, according to CBS Denver. “This turn of events was sadly unexpected.”

Nguyen spent the last 14 months of her life in a coma and died Oct. 4, WKRG reported.


Nguyen went into cardiac arrest but Kim performed CPR and stabilized her. She went into cardiac arrest for a second time and was stabilized again, but no one called 911 for five hours even though she was “neurologically unresponsive,” the suit says.

The family sued Kim and nurse anesthetist Rex Meeker for negligence.

Meeker called 911 and Nguyen was taken to Littleton Adventist Hospital and stayed there for 22 days. She didn’t show signs of recovery from brain damage and was transferred to Vibra Hospital of Denver.

Lynn Fam told CBS4 that she had been “misled” about what was happening to her daughter during the procedure. She said that Dr. Kim told her, ”Everything went fine, the only thing is we didn’t proceed with the procedure because her heart rate dropped but she is fine. He said everything is fine, Emmalyn is fine, everything is good. She’s young, she’s healthy, she’ll be okay, it’s just taking her long to wake up.”

Nguyen’s parents told Fox 31 that their daughter “wanted to improve her self-image” by getting implants.

Meeker was sued for a similar case in 2009 after he served as the nurse anesthetist for Paula Harty’s breast implant surgery, according to reports. Harty died after she suffered brain damage during the procedure. Her husband sued and the case was settled in 2012, according to Fox 31.

She did, and died knowing that at least it wasn't a racist doctor who did it to her... Seriously though, you'd think with all the expose' shows they did on shady walk-in-clinic cosmetic surgeons in the 90s', people would know that it's a bad idea to trust your life to a guy with a hot glue gun and an office next to the Tropicana plant.... but people do.....

Young people are shockingly dumb when it comes to body mods. With every year their collective standards sink even lower as their mutilations become more intense as they try to "stand out".

You'd think immediately regrettable fads like tramp stamps would have learned them but, lol nope, they line up around the block for prison tattoos, sleeves, brands, piercings, gauges, awkward boob/butt implants, and duck lip injections.

I've stopped feeling sorry for them. Now I just use it as a way to visually discern who is a complete idiot not to be trusted.

An above-average SEA girl. Could have skated at least another decade on waifu-thirsting white simps without getting funbags put in.

She didn't even need them. What an utterly idiotic way to die.

There it is. Anesthesia has to be monitored extremely carefully. A little too much for a little too long and you're dead.

The fact that they put her under and then went to have lunch or whatever the hell it is they were doing tells me this was an extremely shady discount surgeon who's going to be homeless once this lawsuit is over.

Yeah this one too

The family sued Kim and nurse anesthetist Rex Meeker for negligence.

Nurse Anesthetist. Outpatient Surgicenter. Good Luck with that.

Cute/attractive enough as it is. Didn't need those fake tits and tbh would probably make her look worse with them. They put her under and then took 15 to get lunch? Guess that's what happens when you pay peanuts, you get monkeys doing your surgery.

 

[keyboredsm4shthe2nd]

Reminds me of someone posting an article on here a while back about a woman who got butt implants that were filled with cement.

She went out of the country she was from though (from UK, went to Turkey). I knew people like this in the US existed but I just didn't wanna believe it. I'm guessing the $5,400 he posted is for the entire procedure,, not the cost of the implants themselves.

Fake tits are gross.

When they're done poorly, yes, but when they're done well, I like them.

Nobody should be dying over them though.

 

[Mrs Paul]

Here I was thinking she must've been blonde.

If you're going to get cosmetic work done, don't go cheap. It's your body, invest in it!

Wait, this is the second time this has happened under the same person? Well, time to revoke his credentials.

Nguyen’s parents told Fox 31 that their daughter “wanted to improve her self-image” by getting implants.

Was it "improving her self-image" or the hope of a career as an instagram model with an onlyfans that drove her?

It might be my yellow fever talking but I think she was above average and should have had no issues with her appearance. Sadly people tend to look harder at percieved flaws in themselves than others do.

I'm more surprised it wasn't a Korean versus the fact a young Asian woman got herself killed via poor plastic surgery work. On an entirely different note - there are a fuckton of short films on Youtube about the fuckery of plastic surgery and how it can go wrong/ is wrong to pursue.

Least I have a Halloween playlist now.

Fake tits are disgusting most of the time. They don't feel right and certainly don't look right. I'd much rather play with some little B cups than any implants. I can totally get behind women who had breast cancer surgeries or other medical issues getting implants for their self esteem, but an 18 year old? Get the fuck out of here. Big tits aren't the end all be all of attractiveness. Most sane males agree. Such a waste of life, and I hope whoever is responsible is held accountable. Though, I'm sure that'll be unlikely.

All surgery is inherently dangerous by it's very nature and people should strive to go under the knife as few times as possible.

Though tragic this sort of thing isn't uncommon and will become increasingly common with the massive increase of this sort of procedure.

I mean, most chicks without some breast deformity getting any kind of breast augmentation surgery are pretty retarded by default. I think studies have shown that most dude's breast size preference is pretty varied anyway so even ignoring the fact that it's a stupid thing to do in and of itself, it also doesn't serve the intended purpose.

Someday, they'll be looked back upon by history the same way we look at the Elizabethans painting their faces with lead or swallowing diluted arsenic to develop pale complexions, or the Victorians opting to have ribs removed so they could cinch their corsets even tighter...

"People DID this to themselves? Willingly? For what? To "look good"? Couldn't they tell it was killing them?"

Though it may be optimistic on my part to assume the outrage will be over the butchery of the procedure, not the idea that a woman HAS to have big bazoongas.... as they've now developed gene therapy to "naturally" grow breasts... you can get that done easy and safely!

How the fuck was this guy hired again? Shouldn't there be some sort of blacklist?

It's right there in the article. Settled out of court, swept under the rug instead of coroner's inquest, court documents sealed, managed to slide away from having his license permanently stripped.

Being left alone completely unmonitored for 15 while under anesthesia is right bad

There it is. Anesthesia has to be monitored extremely carefully. A little too much for a little too long and you're dead.

The fact that they put her under and then went to have lunch or whatever the hell it is they were doing tells me this was an extremely shady discount surgeon who's going to be homeless once this lawsuit is over.

She still could be...

Edit: just as I thought, it has nothing to do with the type of surgery, but with the anesthesia.

Yep, title was a dead give-away, knew immediately it was the anesthesia. Seen these types of articles before from titty implants, liposuction and the like. Kinda sad, but the girls who decide to get surgery that might just as well have been in someone's garage or the back of a van, well, it's a fucking shame really.

 

[Somchai]

Was it worth it? There's nothing wrong with itty bitty titties.

A tit job on a 19 year old is insane.

Big Natural Tits > Small Natural Tits >>>>> Figurative Dogshit >>>>> Literal Dogshit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fake Tits

And there's nothing wrong with that. I think they look better that way. For the most part.

More than a mouthful is wasteful.
