Leah Cambridge died from a blood clot suffered during the procedure on August 27 last year, one day after travelling to an Elite Aftercare clinic in Turkey.
The trainee beautician, 29, who was 'paranoid about her body', was inspired to pay £6,500 in cash for the operation after seeing photographs on Instagram.
The procedure involved having fat extracted from the waist and injected into the buttocks.
But she suffered a fatal complication when blood fat was accidentally injected into a vein and caused her to have three heart attacks on the operating table.
Ms Cambridge's partner Scott Franks told Wakefield Coroner's Court the surgeon who carried out the procedure told him he had 'injected the fat too far into the muscle and it entered her veins.'
Mr Franks said when he flew out to Turkey after his partner died, Dr Ali Uckan had told him: 'It's a guessing game, you can't see where you are going into.'
He said Dr Uckan's 'exact words' were: 'It's a matter of life and death when you are doing it.'
He said Dr Uckan spoke to him in his hotel in Izmir and did not apologise for what happened, but tried to explain the complications that occurred.
Lawyers acting on the firm's behalf then sent a letter to solicitors representing Ms Cambridge's family suggesting she had taken illicit drugs before her surgery, the court heard.
Mr Franks, who had two young children with Ms Cambridge, told the court: 'He said they took so much out and they were putting it back and her oxygen levels were dropping, so they stopped operating and made Leah stable.
'He just said they got her stable and then she had a further three heart attacks.
'He said everyone's anatomy is different. His words were 'it's a guessing game, you can't see where you're going into, you just have to try to stay away from certain veins'.
'His other words were 'it's a matter of life and death when you are doing it'.
'I asked what happened and he said they had injected too far into the muscle.'
Mr Franks told the inquest it was 'definitely not true' that there were drugs in her system, and the post mortem on Ms Cambridge's body found no sign of any illegal substances.
He added: 'I felt belittled that someone had died and they used an excuse to try to cover it up.
'Leah had been to Ibiza a few weeks before the surgery with her friends. They must have looked through her Facebook profile and seen that.
'She was not the sort of person to take drugs, she had three young kids to think of.'
Dr Lisa Barker, consultant histopathologist, told the court that Ms Cambridge died as a result of a fat deposit entering her veins and travelling through her circulation before clogging her pulmonary artery.
Georgina Neville, who founded Elite Aftercare after she had a Brazilian butt lift and thought the aftercare could be improved, has given evidence to the inquest this afternoon.
Elite aftercare acts as a 'middle man' between client and surgeon and also provides a luxury villa for the patient to stay in after surgery.
The inquest continues.
