Moroccan Models Fall Victim to Dangerous Cosmetic Surgery Scam in Turkey

Sunday 6 October 2019, by Sylvanus

Many Moroccan models travel to Turkey in the hope of being operated on by aesthetic surgery specialists. However, once there, they discover a carefully orchestrated scam: it would be inexperienced nurses who operate on them.

These Moroccan models discover that they have to entrust their bodies to amateurs operating in unauthorized "care centers", which would use dangerous and prohibited products, reports Assabah.

The newspaper recounted the story of a young woman who was a victim of this scam. She was counting on getting a sparkling smile and perfect dentition. However, she did not achieve her goal.

There is indeed a well-oiled network that promises Moroccan women the success of aesthetic surgery operations by certain renowned professionals in Istanbul.

At the helm are intermediaries working for the Turkish "care centers" in one of the cities of Morocco. They use subterfuges to encourage Moroccan models to agree to be operated on in Turkey.

They take care of the transport of the "clients" from Morocco to their entry into the laboratory for the operation in Istanbul, via their arrival in Turkey.

And it is precisely in the operating room that the young women discover that they do not have renowned specialists in front of them, but rather non-professionals in aesthetic surgery.

Disappointed, the victims complain to their intermediaries. They decline all responsibility. They suggest that their mission is limited to the search for potential clients in return for a commission, details the same source.
