Model Tabby Brown Dies After BBL Surgery Complications

Tabby Brown, a former Playboy model and ex-girlfriend of footballer Raheem Sterling, has tragically passed away at the age of 38 due to complications following a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery. The procedure, which took place in the Dominican Republic in October 2023, was kept secret from her family, who believed she was traveling for leisure.

Details from the inquest reveal that Brown succumbed to a fat embolism, a rare but known complication of BBL surgeries where fat enters the bloodstream and can block blood flow to vital organs. She collapsed three days after returning to the UK, and despite immediate medical attention, she was pronounced dead.

The inquest, held at South London Coroners Court, confirmed that Brown had undergone liposuction in addition to the BBL, with physical evidence of the surgery found during the post-mortem examination. Shocked by the revelation, her family paid tribute to her successful career and vibrant personality.

This tragedy underscores the risks associated with cosmetic surgery, mainly when performed abroad. It has sparked a conversation about the safety and regulation of such procedures and serves as a somber reminder of the potential dangers involved.

Brown, known for appearing in primary advertisements and reality TV, dated several high-profile footballers, including Sterling and Mario Balotelli. Her passing has been met with an outpouring of tributes from fans and colleagues alike, remembering her as a model and a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
