Dallas woman, 36, who suffered severe brain damage following botched nosejob in Mexico dies after month-long coma
A Dallas real estate agent who suffered severe brain damage after she flew off to Mexico for a cut-rate nose job that went horribly wrong, has died.
Laura Avila, 36, was moved to a hospice last week after her family consulted doctors. Avila was put on life support after the rhinoplasty procedure went awry, but on the advice of medical experts, she was transferred to a palliative care last Friday.
"My angelic sister/second mom/best friend & Heartbeat left us today around 8:20AM," Laura's sister, Angie Avila, wrote on her Facebook page on Saturday. She shared a heartfelt message, "My heart aches, and I truly don’t know how or if I’ll ever overcome this pain. What I do know is that I am beyond lucky to have had the chance to be her sister for twenty five wonderful years. She’s the love of my life, and I know she will continue to watch over me and guide me just as she always has. I love you, Laura Avila. Thank you for being the best sister in the world."
