More than six years after the death of a woman who underwent an illegal breast-augmentation procedure, the purported doctor who performed the procedure is facing a trial.

Jie Shao flew from China to Australia in August 2017 to perform breast enhancement on Jean Huang, who operated the Medi Beauty Clinic in the inner-Sydney suburb of Chippendale.
