Her grieving mum confirmed that she was hoping to have surgery to fix a problem linked to a Brazilian Butt Lift, otherwise known as a BBL.
A BBL is used to make the bum look bigger, rounded and lifted.
Surgeons transfer fat, inject filler or insert silicone-filled implants.
Ngone had nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram and was renowned for her fashion content online.
In 2008 she was crowned Miss Pikine after she represented her home city of Pikine, Senegal, West Africa.
She had worked with many local stylists and participated in various cultural events.
Ngone lived in France before she died.
After her remains were returned to Senegal, her grieving family and friends gathered to pay their final respects, local media reports.
Many other young women have fallen ill or died from BBL surgery in Turkey.
Demi Agoglia, 26, died from complications after a botched BBL in Turkey in January last year.

The mum-of-three tragically passed away in Turkey after a "barbaric" operation contributed to by neglect with "no proper pre-operative care and advice", a coroner warned.
Demi travelled to Turkey for the operation after seeing celebrity endorsements for Istanbul-based Comfort Zone Surgery on social media.
Similarly, Hayley Dowell, 38, died following a BBL in Turkey after the surgeon walked out halfway through the op, an inquest heard.
She passed just hours later after suffering an embolism while recovering at the BHT Clinic in Istanbul.
In August last year, Kaydell Brown, 38 died after paying £5,400 for the procedure, as well as a tummy tuck and a boob job.
Brazilian butt-lifts, also known as buttock augmentation procedures, involve injecting fat or filler into the bum to shape it.
But wrongly injecting too deep into the buttock can pump chemicals into the bloodstream and cause deadly clots, infections or sepsis.
They can also go wrong if the anaesthetic is botched or people have an allergic reaction.
What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

Nappies cut ruled out as London-based experts drafted in to help NHS Grampian save millions
Health bosses have voted against plans to slash spending on newborn tots amid fears scrapping hospital nappies 'would do more harm than good'. A shock dossier earlier this week revealed a range of services across the north-east could be axed or reduced to save the health board £23 million. This included halting cancer treatment and elective surgeries on public holidays and even stopping giving out disposable nappies for most newborn babies. The proposed cost-cutting measures would have impacted expectant mums at maternity wards in Aberdeen, Inverurie, Peterhead and Elgin. It comes as NHS Grampian bosses scramble to recoup millions of pounds after officially becoming the most broke health board in Scotland. They currently have a staggering £68m overspend that they aim to reduce to £45m in the next 12 months. And now, external experts have been drafted in to help them balance the books. Government officials haven hired London-based advisors KPMG to crunch the numbers and help NHS Grampian come up with an expansive savings plan. They say the cash crisis within the health board has escalated to the point where there is a need for experts to intervene amid concerns over failing to improve services. Adam Coldwells reassured board members that NHS Grampian will still be 'absolutely in charge' of the recovery plan and the changes they implement further down the line. However, the external body will be there to monitor their progress, give advice on possible additional savings the board might have missed and 'hold them to account'. The interim chief executive said this is a necessary measure to turn the health board's fortunes around as 'the scale of the [financial] challenge is significant'. And he stressed this would be a good opportunity to learn and improve. He added: 'Clearly it's an extremely serious issue and relates primarily to our financial position, which as a board we've been working on for the last two years. 'We've certainly struggled to find the scale of savings that we need to. 'I'm optimistic this external support from an organisation, who has done this lots of times, will be able to find things that we've simply not been able to identify ourselves.' Members of the NHS Grampian board were later presented with a detailed report outlining 79 cost-cutting measures which will be implemented within the next year. Health bosses admit about a dozen of those could have direct impact on vulnerable patients – with a range of medical services no longer taking place on public holidays. This would affect non-emergency surgeries and diagnostic tests, as well as cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Routine test results will also be given by phone or letter, with face-to-face appointments taking place only when essential. The aim is to cut down on overtime pay. Board member Derick Murray questioned whether they are not 'taking a step back' by reducing these services. But interim director of people and culture, Philip Shipman, said running services on public holidays is 'incredibly expensive' so that's a good place to make a saving. Dr Colette Backwell later also reminded fellow board members that the recovery plan they have been presented with is a necessity rather than a choice. 'The Scottish Government is asking us to find more savings so we have to go along with that,' she said. Staff at pharmacies will also be taking a day off on public holidays from now on. Members raised concerns this could result in people not getting the treatment they need in a timely manner or being missed altogether. Area clinical forum chairman Mark Burrell admitted other health committees have had similar worries too. However, he reassured that there is a 'robust evaluation' under way so that 'patients do not suffer' at the hands of the proposed changes. 'This is kept under very close review,' Mr Burrell added. One of the proposed measures was, however, scratched from the plans amid fears it 'would not be supportive of vulnerable parents'. Board chairwoman Alison Evison raised concerns that if they stop giving out nappies at hospitals, parents might end up without any supplies at an already stressful time. This option would have essentially saved them around £8,000 per year. But Mrs Evison didn't think 'such a small' amount would justify the impact of going ahead with the proposals. She said: 'This saving has huge implications for certain people who are in need of that kind of support when they're coming to hospital. 'And yet, the saving associated with it is actually relatively small. 'Sometimes people will be coming to a hospital to have a baby when they are not expecting it at that point in time. It's a case of just not being prepared. 'So I think we are actually trying to make a saving which is going to be more negative than supportive.' All of the other proposals were given the green light, however, with a more detailed report being presented to the board in October.

No joyful reunions for prisoners of war brought back to Ukraine
They came in ambulances, not coaches. The first to emerge were pushed in wheelchairs up the ramp to the hospital door; the next walked slowly up on their own, their sunken eyes passing over the crowds thronging below. These Ukrainian prisoners of war, the wounded, the sick and the disabled, were the latest to be released in a series of prisoner swaps with Russia, the only concrete measure agreed at negotiations overseen by the Americans that began in Istanbul last month. There were no joyful reunions. All those swapped for their Russian counterparts were immediately ushered into the hospital by waiting medical staff. President Zelensky welcomed them home as heroes but said 'all require medical treatment' being 'severely wounded and seriously ill'. A day earlier, Russia and Ukraine exchanged the bodies of 1,200 each of their fallen after an ugly war of words over who was holding up proceedings. After a prisoner exchange fell through last week, Russia drove refrigerated lorries to the border and flung open the doors to show piled up body bags containing dead Ukrainian soldiers — a move denounced by Zelensky as 'a dirty political and propaganda game'. • Ukraine urges US to 'force Russia into peace' after drone barrage The exchanges, which restarted this week with the youngest prisoners of war from both sides, have become magnets of desperate hope and grief for the families of the missing. Outside the hospital mothers, fathers, sisters, wives, girlfriends and children jostled to hold up photographs of their loved ones, calling out names, battalions and where the missing were last seen. Suddenly there was a scream from the crowd. 'Denys, Denys!' a young woman shouted, holding her toddler daughter. It was the first she had learnt that her husband, missing in action for two years, was alive. Medical staff caught her as she collapsed and was put into a wheelchair. She was the only family member allowed inside as the soldiers underwent examination and debriefing before their transfer to rehabilitation. The walking wounded, who arrived later by bus, were less willing to be rushed inside. Shaven-headed, they stood on the ramp outside the hospital door, blinking in the sunlight as their eyes raked over the photographs of their missing comrades held aloft by the crowds. One sadly shook his head as he looked at face after face. Another held out his hands and studied each photograph closely. 'Yes,' he said. 'This one I know.' At the sight of a returned prisoner at a fifth floor window, the crowd surged, shouting out for information. From the window, he shouted the phone number of his former cellmate's mother which he had memorised to let her know he was still alive. 'He is from Azov,' he shouted. 'He was in my cell.' Russia provides no official information on prisoners of war, neither to Ukraine nor to the International Committee of the Red Cross, which is tasked under the Geneva Convention with facilitating communications between PoWs and their families. • 'They want to destroy everything' — the families fleeing Putin's brutal offensive 'These men are not just in a very bad condition, they have been held incommunicado for up to three years,' said Petro Yatsenko, spokesman for Ukraine's Co-ordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War. 'They do not know anything that has happened in the war. They don't know if Ukraine is completely broken.' On their medical treatment in captivity, he cited one prisoner released earlier this week, who told a Russian military doctor he was experiencing excruciating pain in his foot. 'The doctor said: 'Show me where' and he showed him and the doctor beat him right in that place,' he said. 'The doctor did that.' The first time many of those released had seen any news of the war it was Russian state media, screened to them in anticipation of their release.
