| Linda Perez has to be carried by her father Fernando Izquierdo because she can still barely move her limbs |
19-year-old teenager (LInda Perez) who is also the mother of a 4-year-old boy fell into a coma last year after getting breast augmentation surgery at The Coral Gables Cosmetic Center in August 2013 for the sum of $2,800, which is believed to be about half of the normal price of the procedure. From the picture above, she has dropped to a skeletal weight that doctors now fear that she may never recover. Till date, she is still unable to move on her own and have to be carried around helplessly.
Dr Jacob Freiman, who performed the surgery is a board certified plastic surgeon and he is calling for an investigation into her medical history because he claims that the girl knew she had suffered complications when she gave birth to her son.
'They put a spinal aesthetic, and she needed to be intubated,' Dr Freiman said in a report filed by the medical center to gain access to her earlier records.
He says that the information was purposefully kept from him in order to keep him from calling off the plastic surgery.
She told the doctor during one of their consultations that she had a history of seizures eight years before the breast augmentation but had stopped taking medication as the seizures stopped and had no known history of lung or heart problems. She also said that she had stopped smoking.
The mother of the 19-year-old teenager; Mariela Diaz believes that her daughter would get well. She says "i still have hope because she is alive and she's home."
Linda suffered brain damage in the hour after the breast augmentation finished but now the doctor who performed the surgery is filing to have access to her earlier medical records because he feels she hid key facts from him.

| Linda Perez was in a coma for two months after the August 2013 cosmetic surgery and still has not recovered fully as her doctors fear that she may have permanent brain and heart damage |
She allegedly had a complication from anesthesia that she was given during the birth of her son, and if she had told the doctor about that incident he would have approached the procedure differently.
For months following the August 2013 operation, the then-18-year-old's toddler son was not told about his mother's illness. She first showed signs of life in a coma in October and was allowed to go back to the family home in November.
Now her parents have a plan to petition a court in order to become the now-4-year-old boy's legal guardians- as well as getting the same title for their daughter.

They also are in the process of gearing up for a court battle as they are planning on filing a lawsuit against the doctor who put in their daughter's breast implants.
While the medical explanation for what exactly happened is still being debated, it is visible that something terrible has happened to the girl because she is so thin.
Her family were told that her heart stopped during the operation and she was 'effectively' dead when she was transported to hospital. She suffered brain and heart damage during the procedure.
Perez was admitted to Mercy Hospital following her procedure and her family's attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, said that finding out what went wrong will require litigation.
