On the outside, Mariam Aldaraji is all smiles and laughter spending time with her husband, twin boys and two daughters. But inside she knows she could have lost it all.
“At that time, I did feel like, yes, I’m going to leave soon,” Aldaraji explained.
A wound in her stomach developed necrosis and much of her body tissue was dying.
“I used to wake up at 4 a.m. from all that pain all that pressure feeling that things are moving under there really deep,” Aldaraji said. “That’s when I realized the necrotic tissues were eating each other.”
Two weeks earlier, she was with her family in Miami, Florida
She found a board-certified plastic surgeon at Seduction Cosmetic Center to perform what’s often called “a mommy makeover.”
“I was looking for a better body, you know, especially after four kids.” She added.
Her husband says when Aldaraji woke up from that surgery, he immediately knew something was not right.
“I go up the stairs, they bring her to me in the wheelchair. There is blood on her face, her hand. First time I saw something like that. She’s not in an accident or something,” he said.
