Thailand Investigates After Briton Dies From Penis Enlargement

A postmortem found hyaluronic acid in his lungs after the elective procedure, and the coroner ruled the death was linked to a pulmonary embolism.

  • A U.K. coroner's inquest confirmed 43-year-old influencer Igho 'Tiny' Ubiribo died of a pulmonary embolism after receiving penis filler injections while on holiday in Thailand.
  • Following the procedure, Ubiribo experienced chest pains and collapsed while getting massages. Emergency responders performed CPR for 100 minutes, but he was pronounced dead on March 6.
  • A postmortem examination discovered cellular material matching hyaluronic acid in Ubiribo's lungs, confirming the cosmetic injection caused the fatal blood clot that blocked his pulmonary artery.
  • Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner Chris Bustamante said complications like pulmonary embolisms are "rare but not unheard of", emphasizing the need for reputable providers who assess overall health.
  • Patients must weigh risks, as procedures costing $8,500 to $12,000 carry dangers like vascular issues if not performed with proper sterile technique and detailed aftercare instructions.
