The case highlights the significant health risks associated with unregulated or high-risk cosmetic procedures performed abroad.
A 43-year-old Nigerian-British businessman and social media influencer, Igho Ubiribo, has died after undergoing a penis enlargement procedure during a holiday in Thailand.
According to the Daily Mail on Saturday, a UK coroner ruled that the cosmetic procedure caused a fatal pulmonary embolism.
Ubiribo, also known by the nicknames “Tiny”, “Denisi” and “Ego”, was reportedly on a luxury holiday in Bangkok with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, when he decided to undergo the procedure.
The Daily Mail reported that 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine were injected into Ubiribo’s penis at an unnamed clinic in Thailand in March.
Following the procedure, Ubiribo and his wife reportedly went for a massage at their Marriott hotel.
It was during the massage that he complained of chest pain and subsequently passed out twice.
He was taken by ambulance to Sukhumvit Hospital , where he was initially able to respond to questions.
