Playboy mannequin who dated Raheem Sterling dies days after Brazilian bum elevate
Playboy model and The Bachelor star Tabby Brown, who once dated Raheem Sterling, was ‘fit and healthy’ before her Brazilian butt lift, but collapsed just three days after her return
A Playboy model who travelled abroad to undergo dangerous plastic surgery died from complications, an inquest heard.
Tabby Brown, who once dated Arsenal’s Raheem Sterling, travelled to the Dominic Republican in October 2023 to have a Brazilian butt-lift, which required the 38-year-old to also undergo liposuction. The stunner, who had also starred in The Bachelor, died suddenly just three days after returning home when she developed a “fat embolism”, an inquest heard.
Tabby’s mum Mahasin found her collapsed in her South London home on October 13. Two “puncture wounds” on her pelvis confirmed she had gone under the knife, MailOnline reports.
Cosmetic surgeon expert Oliver Harley told the inquest: “Tabby travelled to the Dominican Republic for a Brazilian butt lift, this is where fat is harvested from the torso by liposuction and injected into the buttocks to increase their size.
“The BBL is known to cause potential fat embolism and death and Tabby died as a consequence.”
Devastated mum Mahasin was unaware her daughter had undergone surgery, with Tabby telling her she was off for a two-week jaunt to South America, reports The Sun.
After complaining she “felt weak”, Mashin took care of her daughter, thinking she had picked up a bug while travelling. She said Tabby didn’t want to go to the doctors, preferring to take painkillers instead.
Coroner Julian Morris said Tabby had “enjoyed a successful career as a model and was well liked professionally and personally”.
He added the post-mortem concluded that Tabby’s cause of death was “fat embolism caused by liposuction”.
He went on: “Fat embolisms are a known and rare complication but can occur with this type of surgery. The expert concluded that liposuction caused her death as fat embolisms do not occur naturally.
“She was fit and healthy, visited the Dominican Republic for surgery and on her return became unwell and collapsed, on balance the operative procedure caused her death.”
