Former Love Island star Sharon Gaffka has bravely shared the harrowing details of a cosmetic surgery procedure that turned into a waking nightmare, revealing she regained consciousness midway through her operation.
The reality TV personality and influencer, who had opted for a tummy tuck, described the terrifying experience of waking up on the operating table, unable to move or speak but fully aware of the surgeons' actions.
A Terrifying Awakening
In an exclusive and deeply personal account, Gaffka detailed the moment she became conscious during the procedure. "I could hear the surgeons talking, I could feel the sensations, but I was completely paralysed and couldn't signal that I was awake," she revealed. The psychological trauma of being trapped in her own body during the operation has left lasting scars.
The Aftermath and Recovery
The botched surgery has resulted in a challenging and painful recovery period for the reality star. Gaffka has been left with significant physical discomfort and emotional distress, requiring extensive medical follow-up to address the complications that arose from the traumatic event.
She has since been working with medical professionals to manage both the physical aftermath of the surgery and the psychological impact of her ordeal, highlighting the often-overlooked mental health aspects of surgical complications.
A Warning to Others
Gaffka is now speaking out about her experience to raise awareness about the potential risks of cosmetic procedures and the importance of thorough research when selecting surgical providers. "I want others to learn from my experience and understand that surgery, even seemingly routine procedures, carries significant risks," she stated.
Her story serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of patient safety and the critical need for proper anaesthesia monitoring during surgical procedures.
