A British woman has died while having cosmetic surgery in Thailand, according to officials.
The English woman, who has not been named but is aged in her 20s, died while under anaesthesia during a corrective procedure at a clinic in Bangkok.
Police were called to the scene at around 11pm on Thursday and said the woman had stopped breathing after receiving the anaesthetic.
Lieutenant Chaleang Inthip said the woman had visited the clinic for surgery on 14 October but was unhappy with the results and was having a corrective procedure when she died nine days later. There were also reports that she died of an infection.
It is understood Sompob Sansiri, the doctor who performed the surgery, did not have the correct certification.
The doctor has been arrested and charged with causing reckless death, a charge which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years' jail.
The clinic's owner, Dr Somphop Saensiri, 51, is being questioned by police. The clinic has been closed for 60 days.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We were informed of the death of a British national in Thailand on the 23 October. We stand ready to provide consular assistance."
Consultant plastic surgeon Michael Cadier, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, said: "This tragic case highlights how, if lured by the prospect of what is essentially 'cheap surgery', patients can be left vulnerable.
"Standards for healthcare may vary, and patients frequently undergo 'consultations' with company representatives who have no medical background and are, therefore, not being given the appropriate knowledge in order to give informed consent."
