A family has been left devastated after a 30-year-old mom died from complications of a discounted surgery in Mexico a couple of months ago.
According to KTVU on Thursday, Tan’Quasha Williams wanted to get a complete “mommy makeover” done, including a breast lift and liposuction. While online, she came across several advertisements offering plastic surgery at a super cheap rate at a clinic in Mexico. She knew she wanted to get her cosmetic work done there. We’re talking only $4,000 to get all that work done! Stuff that would cost closer to around $25k in the US. Damn. And she became determined to get the cash for it fast, too. Her sister Porsha Hilt recalled:
Two months ago, Tan’Quasha saved up the money for her procedure. The outlet said she then flew to Matamoros, Mexico, from Los Angeles to undergo plastic surgery with Dr. Orlando Villanueva at the clinic. On the day of her surgery, February 10, 2024, she snapped a picture with the doctor. However, that was the last photo she’d ever take. Tan’Quasha did not survive the operation — meaning instead of a mommy makeover she was leaving her two young daughters behind.

And get this — it turns out the person who operated on Tan’Quasha wasn’t even a real doctor! The family later received shocking news from authorities in Mexico that he “was unlicensed, and the clinic was unlicensed,” her other sister Quentasia Mathis revealed. What the f**k!
Despite her death, the family claimed advertisements for the unlicensed clinic have continued to appear to them on Facebook. Now,
