A PLAYBOY model who dated Raheem Sterling died days after returning to the UK following a Brazilian bum-lift, an inquest heard.
Tabby Brown, 38, had travelled to the Dominic Republic for the surgery, which also required her to have liposuction, in October 2023.
An inquest heard she died suddenly just three days after returning to the UK when she developed a "fat embolism".
Tabby's mum Mahasin had tragically found the model, who worked for Playboy and appeared on The Bachelor, collapsed in her South London home on October 13.
The court heard she had two "puncture wounds" in her pelvis, which confirmed she had undergone plastic surgery, Mail Online reports.
Oliver Harley, a cosmetic surgeon expert, told the inquest: "Tabby travelled to the Dominican Republic for a Brazilian Butt Lift, this is where fat is harvested from the torso by liposuction and injected into the buttocks to increase their size.
"The BBL is known to cause potential fat embolism and death and Tabby died as a consequence."
Tabby, who previously dated footballers Raheem Sterling and Mario Balotelli, had kept her surgery hidden from her family.
She instead told her mum she was going on a two-week trip to South America, the court heard.
Mum Mahasin looked after Tabby when she fell ill hours after her return to the UK but believed her daughter had picked up a viral infection while travelling.
She said the actress and dancer did not want to seek medical advice and instead took painkillers.
Mahasin told the court Tabby "felt weak" before she discovered her daughter not breathing on the floor.
Recording a narrative verdict, coroner Julian Morris said Tabby had "enjoyed a successful career as a model and was well liked professionally and personally".
She had a big laugh, smile and a personality that charmed many and matched her beauty.
Tabby's devastated family
He added: "'The postmortem concluded that Tabby's cause of death was fat embolism caused by liposuction.
"Fat embolisms are a known and rare complication but can occur with this type of surgery.
"The expert concluded that liposuction caused her death as fat embolisms do not occur naturally.
"She was fit and healthy, visited the Dominican Republic for surgery and on her return became unwell and collapsed, on balance the operative procedure caused her death."
Tabby's devastated family paid tribute to the model, who they said was the "face of many ad campaigns for recognised brands".
The family added: "Tabby had enjoyed a successful career as a model, having featured in music videos of several well-known British and American artists.
"She had a big laugh, smile and a personality that charmed many and matched her beauty.
"Close family and close friends take solace from the fact that she experienced many years in which she lived out her dreams.
"But we are also saddened by her premature departure, we love and miss Tabby very much and will always keep her memory close to our hearts."
Tabby dated former Man City star Balotelli for around seven months after they met in 2011.
She later said she "really fell" for the Italian footballer "against my better judgement".
Tabby later enjoyed a date with England star Sterling at a posh Manchester hotel in March 2016.
