A WOMAN who sued her plastic surgeon after a botched boob op left her with a life-threatening infection has settled her claim.
Dubliner Kate Murray was “just a step away” from contracting flesh-eating infection necrosis fasciitis, the High Court heard.
Days after the €5,800 op on March 15, 2008, the now 28-year-old began to experience severe pain and fluids oozing from her wounds.
She made repeated visits to the clinic before the implants were removed.
Two weeks later, she was admitted to hospital with a life-threatening infection and spent a month undergoing nine procedures and skin grafts.
She was treated at St Vincent’s Hospital for extensive wound breakdown and cellulitis.
Murray sued Italian consultant Marco Loiacano over the operation he carried out on her.
He was struck off by the Medical Council for misconduct in 2011 and is now thought to be practising in Rome.
A previous inquiry heard evidence that Ms Murray would be left horribly physically scarred for life as a result of his “reckless” actions.
Ms Murray, from Dun Laoghaire, had also sued Cosmedico Clinic (Dublin) Ltd, trading as Cosmedico Surgery Clinic, Kilmacanogue, Co Wicklow, where the operation was carried out.
Yesterday, the High Court was told the matter had been settled on Tuesday. No details of the settlement were given.
