Wouldn't that be like a million dollar lawsuit over here?
'Surgeon stole my bum'
A German belly dancer has been awarded £12,000 compensation after a plastic surgeon accidentally sucked away one of her buttocks.
Julia 'Cleopatra' Meyer, 38, from Munich, wanted slimmer thighs and instead ended up with half her bum missing.
The court heard that during the liposuction the plastic surgeon, not named, from a private clinic, had removed fat from her right buttock instead of her thighs.
She said: "I had been unhappy with my saddlebags, the fat stored in the outer thigh area. Because of the local anaesthesia I did not realise what he was doing.
"When I saw afterwards that half of my bum was missing I almost fainted. It had been completely sucked away."
A consultant at the Berlin Charité hospital asked for an expert opinion said it was a "grave error in treatment".
The court heard the woman can no longer perform. She does not even dare to go to a swimming pool because she is ashamed of the way she looks.
The surgeon has been ordered to pay her £12,000 - twice the £6,000 she had been seeking.
