Surgeon who administered fatal lip fillers to Astrid (23) responds: “I understand that those people are angry, but I don’t feel guilty”

“What happened is also extremely painful for me as a surgeon. I still think about this every day. But I don’t feel guilty, I am in pain, a lot of pain, yes. But guilt is different. I have not committed any medical malpractice.” This is what the plastic surgeon from Brussels says who administered the lip fillers to Astrid (23). She died after the fillers caused a thrombosis in the brain. Her family wants to warn of the consequences by telling her story. “And I understand that,” says the doctor involved.
