Ms Agoglia travelled to Turkey to have 'BBL' surgery on January 4 and underwent the operation the following day. It took place without 'proper informed consent and following 'peremptory' pre-op procedures, said Prof Pollard, who slammed the Turkish authorities who 'refused to co-operate with the coronial process "I do find the post-operative care varied from woeful to completely nonexistent," said Prof Pollard, who added that by the time she was taken to hospital following her collapse, Ms Agoglia was already in 'an irrecoverable state! The inquest in Bolton heard Ms Agoglia was described as healthy, but had been diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder. Her mother, Christine Tydd, said the day before her daughter was due to fly to Turkey, she told her she didn't need to go because 'she was a good looking girl Ms Tydd told the inquest: "She said she wanted to go. She was conscious about the way she looked - there was no changing her mind."
