       Louise Smith, 37, went to Iran for the op while living in Dubai

       She had become obsessed with changing her appearance after complaining of weight gained in lockdown.

       But Louise, from Coventry, passed away on July 28.

       Pal Danni Chauhan said: “I still can’t comprehend that this has happened.

       “What a young life lost all because we want to look a certain way that social media portrays us to look like. I’m so sorry you had to go through this alone.”

       Louise’s sister Sharon Elston, 51, said: “We are all in shock at the moment.”

       After working for Toni & Guy in the UK for 19 years, Louise is believed to have moved to the Middle East in 2019 for a better life after a relationship ended.
