Beauty treatments and procedures are now very common these days. We have also heard about those procedures which have unfortunately gone wrong. The recent death of a young Malaysian girl is another reminder of the importance of conducting proper research and being very careful when deciding to undergo any type of treatment.
Wanting to lose weight so that she could look her best during her wedding, Coco Siew Zhi Shing underwent a liposuction procedure at a beauty salon in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. However, things went wrong during the procedure and the 23-year-old passed away on Saturday (October 17).
Found beauty salon online
Siew found the salon online while browsing the Internet for liposuction-related treatments, her brother Xiao Mingan told Sin Chew Daily.
The bride-to-be also enrolled in a 2,500 ringgit (Singapore $ 820) procedure to remove fat from her arms, he said.

According to local media, Siew visited the beauty salon on Saturday afternoon with a friend for the first time.
It was said that he received an injection for anesthesia upon arrival. However, about half an hour later, Siew reportedly began to feel ill. And about an hour later, the 23-year-old’s heartbeat stopped.
While Siew was rushed to the hospital, she was unable to be resuscitated and was pronounced dead around 5 p.m. that day.
Xiao said that the owner of the beauty salon did not appear at the hospital until 8 p.m. The owner was also not present during the procedure.
According to reports from The Star newspaper, the beauty salon was run by two owners: a woman and her daughter.
Xiao’s further questioning of the person in charge of the beauty salon revealed that they were not licensed to perform such medical procedures, but only normal beauty treatments.
Additionally, Xiao told Sin Chew Daily that the beautician who performed liposuction on her sister did not have a professional license.
The cause of Siew’s death has yet to be established. Malaysian police are investigating the death and have arrested the owners of the beauty salon.
According to Xiao, Siew prided himself on his health and appearance. She said that she also came in first place in an Asian modeling competition in 2014.
