A British Nigeria Influencer died a few months ago after undergoing penis enlargement surgery at a clinic in Thailand according to information heard by an inquest. He was on holiday with his partner, Danielle Simba Allen, at the time of the operation in Bangkok.
Igho Ubiribo, 43, was injected with 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine subsuquently suffered a chest pain and passing out.
The British-Nigerian businessman went for a massage after going under the knife on March 5.
The influencer then started saying he was suffering chest pain – and soon after he passed out twice.
The popular social media star, who had 185,000 followers on Instagram, was rushed to hospital.
Assistant coroner Jean Harkin said: “Igho Ubiribo was having a massage with his wife when he started to complain of chest pain.
“When he was in the ambulance he was able to answer questions normally. His wife was able to confirm that he had passed out two times.
“When he got to the hospital, his wife confirmed that he had filler injections in the penis.”
Ubiribo’s wife had told doctors at the hospital about her husband’s surgery.
They told her he had suffered a pulmonary embolism – a blood clot in the lungs.
His primary care doctor in London confirmed Ubiribo had an operation on his joints, was pre-diabetic and suffered from gout but had no other medical issues.
Pathologist John du Parcq carried out a postmortem in the UK and also confirmed Ubiribo had suffered a pulmonary embolism.
He said: “Cellular material found in Mr Ubiribo’s lungs matched the hyaluronic acid used in his penis filler jab, in keeping with a pulmonary embolism.
“This matches the Thai autopsy.”
The couple had been staying at the Marriott Hotel in the Thai capital, an inquest at Inner West London Coroners’ Court heard.
It is unclear which exact clinic Ubiribo had his operation done at.
The influencer owned a Los Angeles home and a £450,000 flat in Shepherds Bush.
He married his Anglo-Zimbabwean socialite wife in 2022.
Ubiribo, who was also known as “Tiny”, was laid to rest in London in May in a gold coffin which reportedly cost more than £500,000.
Reports suggest a growing number of Brits are getting penis fillers every year.
During the procedures, patients have hyaluronic acid injected into their penis before having it massaged to spread it out.
They are then advised to continue spreading the acid out evenly at home.
