Wambui, wife to city car dealer Francis Nganga – known for his auto businesses, Valley Road Motors and Village Market Auto Bazaar – passed away on October 26, 2024, shortly after her surgery.
Jamal Rohosafi’s ex-wife, Amira, took to social media to recount Wambui’s tragic experience, noting her procedure had been performed at Body By Design and overseen by an uncertified individual.
“It is very sad to lose a beautiful lady like Lucy due to negligence and malpractice by people who are not qualified to perform plastic surgery procedures,” Amira began.
According to her, Lucy’s intestines had been punctured five times, leading to severe infection and abdominal pain.
She was discharged but returned to the clinic later in unbearable pain, only to find no medical personnel present.
Rushed to Nairobi Hospital, Lucy underwent emergency surgery for her internal injuries but tragically succumbed to her condition four days later in the ICU.
“She was in pain and was discharged home from Body By Design on 22nd but the pain became unbearable the same day and she went back only to find no doctor and was then rushed to another hospital where her condition was so bad she went for surgery to try and clean the tummy where they found the intestines were perforated 5 times,” she wrote.
Amira confirmed that a post-mortem report had upheld her account, and she vowed to pursue legal action.
“Her condition was so bad she ended up in ICU and died 4 days later. Her post mortem has confirmed this and justice will be served! May Lucy Rest In Eternal Peace!” she wrote.
The late Lucy Wambui was the mother of four children: Brian, James, Brandon, and Angel Wairimu Ng’ang’a.
Amira, who herself has undergone multiple plastic surgeries, urged those considering cosmetic surgery to prioritize safety and only seek certified professionals.
“I understand accidents happen, but 5 times !! 5times in her intestines to a point where all her lipo holes were leaking? And the nurses went ahead and told her its part of the healing process!!rubish!!! I hope this post saves a lot of people out there. Plastic surgery is beautiful but make sure your getting it done by professionals!” she advised.
Sally Wangechi
The same Body By Design clinic that caused the death of Lucy Wambui was also implicated in the tragic demise of Sally Wangechi.
The late businesswoman, who was popularly known as Sally in social circles, lost her life on December 12, 2021, following a botched skin lightening procedure.
According to reports, the 39-year-old business lady, who owns the famous Miale Lounge which is located in Lavington, sought the services of Body By Design as she sought to bleach her skin.
She reportedly collapsed while undergoing the skin lightening procedure.
Sally was then rushed to Nairobi Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Both cases of Lucy Wambui and Sally Wangechi have raised questions about the safety and professionalism at Body By Design.
June Wanza Mulupi
June Wanza Mulupi passed away at the Nairobi Hospital on June 14, 2018, after undergoing a botched breast augmentation surgery at Surgeoderm Healthcare clinic that was situated along Theta Lane in Kilimani, Nairobi.
June had an operation to enlarge her breasts and later developed complications.
She sought medical attention at Nairobi Hospital but died a day later after admission.
June died after it was discovered that the surgeon who performed the breast enlargement surgery on her had punctured her intestines during the procedure.
“Her intestines were cut during the cosmetic operation, making all waste leak and spread within her stomach, which is an infection known as sepsis,” a family member said.
