'Surgeon stole my bum'



A German belly dancer has been awarded £12,000 compensation after a plastic surgeon accidentally sucked away one of her buttocks. Julia 'Cleopatra' Meyer, 38, from Munich, wanted slimmer thighs and instead ended up with half her bum missing. ( so much for cosmetic surgery) yuk.

The court heard that during the liposuction the plastic surgeon, not named, from a private clinic, had removed fat from her right buttock instead of her thighs.

She said: "I had been unhappy with my saddlebags, the fat stored in the outer thigh area. Because of the local anaesthesia I did not realise what he was doing.

"When I saw afterwards that half of my bum was missing I almost fainted. It had been completely sucked away."

A consultant at the Berlin Charité hospital asked for an expert opinion said it was a "grave error in treatment".

The court heard the woman can no longer perform. She does not even dare to go to a swimming pool because she is ashamed of the way she looks.

The surgeon has been ordered to pay her £12,000 - twice the £6,000 she had been seeking.

Doesn't seem very much really does it?

That's probably barely enough to get it fixed again! How could he not realize what he was doing? I think if I want to get into shape I'll stick with dieting and excercise and just be happy with what results come form it!

How could he not realise he was sucking out her but cheek!?
Poor thing..she shouldv'e got alot more money then that....she's probably thinking now that what she had wasn't that bad in the first place

It sounds like the surgeon did a half-assed job to me. I am sooo sorry! I just could not resist that. It does sound like she didn't get awarded near enough damages that she deserved.
