A teenager has been left fighting for her life after going into a coma while undergoing a breast augmentation operation.
Linda Perez,18, from Miami, Florida, never woke up from the anesthesia after what should have been a routine hour-long operation.
Her family were told that her heart stopped during the operation and she was 'effectively' dead when she was transported to hospital.
Her father Fernando said she went into the clinic a healthy girl and has now been left a 'vegetable'.
According to NBC 6, Linda was in surgery at the Coral Gables Cosmetic Center on Monday morning when something went wrong during the procedure. Speaking on her fate, her mum, Mariela Diaz said: “What they gave me was my daughter as a vegetable.”
Linda who already has a 3-year-old child, is believed to have suffered brain damage in the process.
