She even took the drains with her: A woman flees after a buttock lift and leaves her doctor stuck with the costs.
The case is causing a stir.
Rome – When it comes to cosmetic surgery, the following applies: If you want to be beautiful, you have to suffer – and, above all, pay for it.
For one woman in Italy, the monetary stakes were apparently too high.
After a buttock lift, she apparently decided to flee the clinic without paying the bill.
And that includes the appropriate drainage and accesses.
The treating doctor, who is also a star on TikTok, made the incident public on social media.
Woman flees the clinic after cosmetic surgery on her bottom including drainage – without paying
Professor Maximilian Catenacci, who usually explains to his social media followers how various cosmetic surgeries are performed or analyzes the latest aesthetic changes of celebrities, published an unusual case from his practice in Rome on Facebook.
With a touch of humor he wrote: “Escape from Alcatraz?
We have an escape from the clinic with drains!”
Cheated: On Valentine's Day, a woman flees the clinic with a new bottom
On February 13, a 38-year-old woman was treated by him for a buttock lift with buttock implants, reported Professor Maximilian Catenacci.
However, the patient, whom Catenacci refers to as AF on Facebook, simply disappeared the morning after the six-hour operation under general anesthesia.
She “left without paying the bill for the nursing home, the buttock prostheses I had installed and the entire surgical team,” said the doctor.
His guess: "To avoid paying the bill or because she was in a hurry to celebrate Valentine's Day with drains in tow." It seems as if the escape may have even been planned - because the medical staff saw her run into one The car picked up the patient from the clinic.

Health risks: Patient flees clinic in Italy with drains after bottom surgery
In addition to the financial damage to the practice, such an escape after buttock surgery also poses health risks for the Italian woman.
The comments on the post express concern and horror.
One comment reads: "The lady is taking a lot of risks, especially with the drains... nice infection." Another person added: "Where will she go to remove the drains?
If you don't have money, don't do such an operation.
Above all, risk your own health!
I am at a loss for words."

As the Klinik am Rhein explains about buttock lifts, for example, patients usually stay in the clinic for a few days for observation after such an operation.
The healing process is individual and is not yet complete even after discharge.
In addition to the wound dressings, compression pants must be worn and sitting should be avoided if possible.

Police investigate escape after unpaid bottom surgery
The hospital team had no choice but to inform the police.
Professor Maximilian Catenacci explained that they spent “hours with the state police” “reporting the entire incident and preparing the documents to be sent to the public prosecutor.” The state police are now investigating.
The doctor documented this with a photo of two police officers in his practice.
From now on only payment in advance – this is how the clinic reacts after the patient escapes
As a result of the incident, all patients in Catenacci's practice must now pay estimates at least 48 hours before the scheduled surgery date.
The costs for such an operation are always individual, but for a classic buttock lift in Germany they start at around 3,500 euros, as
mybody.de
reports.
The professor ironically adds in his Facebook post: “The next patient who asks me whether this type of operation is painful, I will contact the head nurse at my clinic directly so that she can receive a detailed description of the aftercare.”
